I am: an independent-type girl who is really pleased with how life has turned out for her so far, but realizes it is even more enjoyable with a significant other.

I spend most of my free time: at the gym, walking my amazing wonder dog, gardening, beating the pants off of people at trivia, volunteering at the local art museum.

I think: if you routinely ask the ladies “What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?” I’m probably not the lady for you.

I like: well done smart-assery, pickles, boys with glasses, a drive out of town just to go to a favorite restaurant, the public library, spontaneous home improvement projects, movies based on comic books, movies about punk rockers and the bottom half of a set of pajamas.

I don’t like: picky eaters, turtlenecks, mindless consumerism, monkeys.

I would like: to meet someone who is honest, both with me and with themselves, someone who has figured out what they really want from life instead of just doing what they think they “should” be doing, someone who agrees that Paul’s Boutique is the best Beastie Boy’s album. And most important, you’ve got to be able to make me laugh.

Talking my way out of speeding tickets.

I'll read anything by Bryson, Palahniuk, Moore, Robbins, Gaiman. And God help me, I love Quentin Tarantino movies.

I like to cuddle.

You can render me speechless with your wit.
