I am hither, thither, and yon.

My Self-Summary

I'm a Jersey girl at heart, but don't hold that against me. I've lived in Europe and all over the US, but am happy to be back in NYC, as I still believe it's the best city in the world.

Life can get pretty crazy here, but I strive to live in the present and fill my days with happiness, excitement, and appreciation. Every day I try to both do something that scares me and make someone smile. Sometimes I get these confused and just end up scaring someone else, but no one's perfect.

About me...

The good:
Travel is my biggest passion. I have a goal of visiting at least one new country a year, no exceptions.
I love my job doing Business Development for a design firm. I'm one of the lucky ones who actually likes going to work.
I'm incredibly close to my big family. I talk to my mom every day and judge people by the way they talk to theirs. My little brother is the most important person in my world.
My friends are my second family, and I treat them as such. They are an eclectic bunch but universally generous, hilarious, and loyal. Not one of them qualifies as boring.
I am a voracious reader of fiction and, lately, business books (out of pure necessity, rarely interest).
I've been dancing for 23 years. I still take classes around the city, but I really miss the stage.
I love kids and try to find time outside of the office doing volunteer work to support them. I really, really love babies.
I am a huge foodie, and collect/drink enough wine to support the entire Napa region and possibly part of Spain.
Change ignites me.

The bad:
I love karaoke, mechanical bulls, costumes, anything chocolate, dive bars, state fairs, roller derby, burritos, bad puns, reality TV, and Dolly Parton.

I injure myself on a weekly basis, and always in a ridiculous manner (riding a mechanical bull, reenacting the Dirty Dancing lift in a cowboy bar, etc.)

The ugly:
I'm not embarrassed about any of the above.

What I’m doing with my life

Living deep and sucking out all the marrow of life.

At least, I'm trying to.

I’m really good at

justifying spur-of-the-moment, senseless decisions

The first things people usually notice about me

Apparently, i have a healthy dose of moxie that's hard to miss upon first encounter.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

books:
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay; the Rabbit series (really, anything by Updike); Atonement; anything by Dickens; The Sportswriter

movies:
Goodfellas, Goonies, Rocky IV, Royal Tenenbaums, The Big Lebowski, Garden State, anything Woody Allen (Sleeper is my personal favorite). That's a small slice; suffice it to say that my Netflix queue has maxed out at 500 movies.

music:
I've loved classic rock since my dad played "Stop Making Sense" on repeat when I was a child, and Led Zeppelin is my favorite band of all time. These days, I can't get enough of Black Crowes, Santigold, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, Kings of Leon, Lykke Li, Bruce Springsteen, Department of Eagles, Lady Gaga, Adele, and Ra Ra Riot. Perhaps most importantly, I will always harbor a deep and passionate love for 80s rock, namely Styx (yes, Styx), Bon Jovi, and Journey.

food:
I will eat literally anything and get pretty adventurous at restaurants, but my all-time favorite food is peanut butter. I eat it, in some form or another, every single day of my life. I guess that means men with peanut allergies need not apply. Sorry. I choose Skippy over you.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

my next meal.

On a typical Friday night I am

there is no such thing as typical for me. but history shows i'm either:

...at a new restaurant with my closest friends
...at a dive bar with 100 of my newest friends
...in another city/state/country, soaking up some local culture, food, and conversation
...on my couch, in my favorite sweatpants, eating a homemade meal and watching a movie or old episode of House
...doing something new, whether it be a monster truck rally or a museum exhibit

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

i'm on OKCupid.

You should message me if

You know where the quote in my profile is from. Or you don't, but appreciate the sentiment.

You, too, can't believe that you're filling out a profile on OKCupid and figure just one good conversation means you don't have to punish your coworker for making you sign up (but you kind of look forward to pranking her anyway if this does turn out to be a disaster).

You're Jon Stewart.
