I should be your next adventure. God, that sounds pretentious, doesn't it? I'm serious though. Flip through all those other profiles in your Favorites and then come back here. It's fine - I'll wait.

I work for the federal government like everyone else in this city. (Honestly, look at those aviators and that haircut - who else could I work for?!) When I am not working I'm running, socializing or writing.

I like to travel and you should too. This fall I'm hoping to hit either mainland Europe or Iceland. Bonus points if you're a local and can show me around. If you aren't, we can still stumble along together.

Oh, and here's the boilerplate profile language: something something, work hard play hard. Something something really focused. :)

I work in the bowels of government; just like you. I run and play soccer. On most Saturdays you'll find me digging through dusty books at the Library of Congress.

- sniffing out good restaurants
- smugly donating to NPR and then silently judging people who listen but don't donate
- making breakfast on weekends
- getting drinks on a random weeknight

My totally huge biceps. They are totally huge. Totally. Huge.

Ok, not really.

I'm tall, loud and blonde. Unless you played college basketball, you can wear those 8" stilettos without a problem.

Podcasts: This American Life, Dan Savage and How Was Your Weekend?

Music: The last four albums I purchased were by Frank Black & The Catholics, Ween, The Black Keys, and Kid Koala. I'll listen to just about anything and if you get me drunk enough, I'll dance to it too.

TV/Movies: Have you seen Hannibal this season?! Sherlock on the BBC. Grimm (low calorie, but fun).

I also watch New Girl and deny it to my friends.

Food: Here are some gross things I have eaten and the country I ate it in: raw horse (Japan - didn't know it when I was eating it), raw chicken (Japan - knew what I was eating, but I closed my eyes and went to a happy place), couscous (Morocco - it was with a communal spoon), offal (Ireland) and anything prepared in Great Britain.

- The sun
- NPR
- Coffee
- Public Transit
- Eastern Market
- my dog

The Oxford comma. Why is it only used in conjunctive lists and not disjunctive lists? It's silly that we should say A, B, and C but D, E or F.

If you have an answer to this, message me - I'll marry you on the spot. For real.

This is a silly question. Here's a better one: Where are we going on our first date?

Here are five things I haven't done in DC yet: (feel free to pick any one)
1) I have not yet seen the pandas at the zoo.
2) I have not yet biked through Rock Creek Park.
3) I have not yet had drinks on the roof of the W.
4) I have not yet been to salsa night at Cafe Citron.
5) I have never been to the planetarium at the National Air and Space Museum.

I have a paralyzing fear of clowns. Ok, it isn't paralyzing, but I really don't like them.

Ok, checklist time:

1) You're beautiful, inside and out. (Self-assessments accepted.)
2) You take care of yourself: exercise regularly, eat well, etc.
3) You're absolutely brilliant. (Graduate degrees are optional, but hot! Self-assessments are also accepted.)
4) You know what you want and aren't afraid to ask for it.
