Your Notes
Edit your notesI am awesome, witty, and nerdy.
My Self-Summary
I'm a sucker for a good game of scrabble and a Belgian beer. In my spare time I
can usually be found taking in some tunes at concerts and bars, cooking a large
quantity of food, or carousing about the town. I try to get to the
museums and take
advantage of things going on in the city as often as possible. That
said, I don't need to go out all the time to be happy. Neither does
my liver. I'm fluent in geek, but unfortunately okcupid.com has
deigned that to be not a real language. My major turn offs are
picky eaters, flakes, chauvinists and charlatans.
What I’m doing with my life
I work in book publishing in Manhattan. I like it quite a lot, but
would like it better if more people bought books. Please buy books.
I am also starting some side projects for when my industry
collapses and/or gets taken over by robots. More on that in the
future...
I’m really good at
Making chili! Also: word games, sassing people, walking briskly,
trouble-shooting my co-workers computer issues, and finding fun
that is free.
There are a lot of activities/skills I enjoy that I am not really good at. A friend's father once told me that you should be wary of anyone that excels at all of their hobbies.

The first things people usually notice about me
My glasses, my smile, and my mostly sensible shoes.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I'll only list a few to avoid ridiculousness.
Books: The God of Small Things, My Name is Asher Lev, The Spirit Level, An American Childhood, Sabriel, Fox Fire, A Room of One's Own, A Good Man is Hard to Find, Brave New World; I'm also really into postcolonial literature, the Romantic poets, and food writing! And oh yeah some comic books and graphic novels. Aaaand select webcomics...
Movies: The Usual Suspects, Almost Famous, The Big Lebowski, Welcome to the Dollhouse, The Dark Crystal, Best in Show, Velvet Goldmine, Labyrinth, Dazed and Confused, Wet Hot American Summer
Music: Sleater-Kinney, Wilco, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, Matson Jones, Cake, Beck, Simon and Garfunkel, Jimi Hendrix, The Pixies, Cat Power, The Stooges, Bikini Kill, The Clash, Of Montreal, Built to Spill, Brian Eno, Lou Reed, Interpol
Food: I love to cook and eat! My favorite foods are generally hot and spicy. I also have a terrible sweet tooth. I love Mexican, Indian, Thai and Szechuan food. I love to try new food, especially if it's from a hole-in-the-wall or can be bought on the street.

The six things I could never do without
A good book, music, my friends/family, a kitchen, a good beer in my
fridge, and google maps.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Let's be honest, I spend a lot of time thinking about what I will
cook for dinner. I work a lot, my brain has to do SOMETHING.
On a typical Friday night I am
Out or at home (specificity is the spice of life!). I usually go
out a few nights a week for various activities, and sometimes it
doesn't coincide with Friday. I might be at the bar, I might be
catching a friend's band/DJing, I might be having dinner with
friends, I might be catching up on the latest episode of Dollhouse, I might also
be sitting in my office in a state of ire because work is cutting
into my weekend.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I refuse to get rid of a certain brand of outdoor sandals that came
here with me from Colorado when I moved to New York. One of my
roommates has indirectly asked me to move them out of the front
hall because he doesn't want a girl he brings home from a bar to
see them and think he's associated with them. I don't think my
sandals are the reason they don't call. This hypothesis has been
proven with hard data in a controlled environment.
