-I love honest, passionate debate. I will advocate in favor of some pretty bizarre positions just for the sake of stirring up discussion.
-I am sentimental about the past, matter-of-fact about the present, and optimistic towards the future.
- I get really nervous around cute girls.
- I dance surprisingly well for a dorky white girl from the sticks.
- I use the word spectacular far too much, but only in a ironic way.
- I am not as indie as I like to think that I am.
- I think a great song can say things that no words ever could.
- I am blown away by creative people.
- I believe that a handful of close friends are better than a million acquaintances.
- I make mac and cheese from scratch. It's quite yummy.
- As long as it's not illegal, I'll try anything once.
- I have a hard time making the first move, but my second and third moves are pretty darn good ;)

Taking full advantage of everything the city has to offer - wonderful restaurants (both fine dining and hole-in-the wall Ethiopian joints), museums, indie movies, live music (oh, 9:30 Club, how I adore you). Plotting trips to exotic locations.

Remembering song lyrics (seriously, if I've heard any song more than a handful of times, I probably have it memorized). Listening without judgment. Remaining calm in the face of chaos. Mixing delicious and deceptively strong cocktails. Cuddling.

My eyes... Or my dry, sarcastic wit.

Music: My listening habits vary a lot depending on my mood and environment, but I adore Ani DiFranco, Mike Doughty, Luscious Jackson, and Jay-Z.

Books: Revolutionary Road, anything by Joan Didion or Chuck Klosterman.

Movies: Team America:World Police, Kissing Jessica Stein, Garden State, D.E.B.S., Versus [btw, if you've seen and enjoyed this movie, PLEASE send me a message immediately]

Food: When cooking for myself, I like to make simple comfort food - mashed potatoes, chicken roasted with rosemary and thyme, vegetarian chili.... When eating out, I try to seek out cuisines that I'm a less familiar with and would not be able to prepare as well on my own - Indian, Malaysian, Ethiopian.

A comfortable mattress.
My iPod.
My friends and family.
My glasses/contacts.
Cherry lip gloss.
A passport.

Politics
Sports (especially my fantasy football team).
My next vacation.

Either out at a club dancing with some friends until closing time or curled up on my couch watching a movie and eating homemade kettle corn. There really is no middle ground.

I've never been in love, but I continue to look forward to the day when I am.
