Very chill. No drama. Laid back. I tend to work well with girls who are a little extroverted (I calm you down, you loosen me up).

I'm the bastard son of Grizzly Adams. Beards--love 'em, or hate 'em.

A true foodie who will do things like going completely cross-town just to get the perfect bagel (Ess-A-Bagel, duh).

I play guitar, but I'd love to learn drums. And regardless of what other people say, I think learning accordion would be an awesome idea. I've also been known to ruin everyone's Rockband fun. I'll kick your ass.

I live alone. Take advantage now before it's too late!

Making a career change from magazines to film editing. Long road ahead--no more Masa and Per Se for me.

Disclaimer: There is a slight possibility I'll need to move to LA in the not-so-distant future.

using my hands.

reading people and/or my BS detector. I called hoax on balloon boy while the balloon was still in the air!

putting my foot in my mouth. Larry David is my hero.

Not sure. But people have said I look like David Blaine (no idea), a young Elvis Costello (glasses?), or Sylvester Stallone (eyes?).

Books: Anything by Chuck Klosterman. I feel like I'm reading something I'd write.

Movies: Swingers, Sideways, Eternal Sunshine, Before Sunset, Before Sunrise, Science of Sleep, Trainspotting, Koyaanisqatsi, Love & Sex, The Warriors, 2001, lots more.... Actually, I just realized I relate to all the male characters in most of these movies.

TV: Flight of the Conchords (slight obsession). True Blood (Sookie, SOOKIE!). Bored to Death. Anything HBO, really. Sundance. IFC. Top Chef and Project Runway. I watch a lot of Science Channel, History Channel, and Discovery channel. I LOVE Dexter!

Food: Mexican. Indian. Pizza snob. Bread--I really miss European bread. Cheese--I don't trust anyone who doesn't at least like cheese.

Music: Right now I can't stop listening to DM Stith (a little religious for my taste, but still good). Love, love, love A Hawk and a Hacksaw--must be my Greek blood. Please write me you one or two girls out there who like them too (ha! riiiight). Also love Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles.

Other stuff: Joanna Newsom, RJD2, Laurie Anderson, Amon Tobin, Jacques Brel, Bon Iver/Volcano Choir, Simon & Garfunkel, Kraftwerk, Nick Drake, David Bowie, Sonic Youth, Sigur Rós, Kate Bush (bit of a crush), Edith Piaf, Stevie Wonder, Radiohead, Justice, Man Man, Heart, White Stripes, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Wilco, Arcade Fire, Elliott Smith, Iron & Wine, Fela Kuti, Nina Simone, The Black Keys. Lots more.

Music is important to me and I think your taste says a lot about you. I love discovering bands I've never heard before. I go to a lot of shows and it's really hard to find people willing to go. You won't need TimeOutNY with me around--I will go see anything. Two highlights that come to mind: Puppetry of the Penis (fucking hysterical, look it up), and Jollyship the Whiz-Bang (rock + puppets = awesome).

A computer. Learning ... anything. My guitar. My espresso machine. Excedrin Migraine. Great food!

But honestly I sometimes think about moving to an island with *nothing* to work on my screenplay without any distractions 'cause that's the only way it'll ever get worked on.

What were they thinking?!

No, seriously. If you don't think that's funny, move along.

pretending I'm not online.

I'm a mono-eater.

You find goofyness endearing, not immature. My sense of humor is a little out there.

Totally random, non-mandatory turn-ons:
Freckles. Paleness. Redheads. Super curly hair (google Matar Cohen). Sarcasm (practicing or have an appreciation). Really tall girls. But also petite, artsy brunettes. Tattoos. Cuddle givers. Noisy shoes. Girls that sit with their knees together and feet far apart. Cutesy lace pattern stockings. Open-minded and nonjudgmental.

With that said, my best relationships seem to always be with tiny, really cute/adorable (as opposed to say "hot" or "sexy") brunettes. Not trying to limit myself, though.

Turn-offs:
Really loud (inside voices, people). Thin lips. Vanilla people. Argumentative and confrontational.

Edit: I'm perfectly okay with making like-minded friends here as well. But if you're really nice to look at, I'll probably want to touch your boobies at some point.
