I'm happy. I'm opinionated. I'm loud. I like to go out. I like to be around people. I'm a classic extrovert. I will love you until you give me a reason to stop. But I don't mean love in a romantic, all-consuming way. Who's got time for that? I love easily and often. I love the latte I had this morning. I'm fickle. I'm fun. You'll like me.

I join too many book clubs. I write short stories. I love my local library. I'm trying to love my gym - but it's a struggle. My idea of roughing it is a three-star hotel. I would rather wander around a city center than hike a nature trail. I study French and Arabic, but never seem to get better at either. I love the sun, sand and sea. I do my own taxes. I like my beer dark and my coffee strong. I own a lot of rope.

I like to go to restaurants, bars, museums, movies and concerts. I want to picnic in the park and fool around under the stars. I love to dance in front of a live band and eat Ethiopian food with my fingers. I play board games and go to crazy parties. I want to take more road trips. I love a Saturday night at the drive-in theater.

I'm trying to find someone who wants to do all of these things with me.

Maybe it's you?

I'm an analyst. I work in marketing and support sales. I write. Mostly. My office is in Gaithersburg, MD.

I split my free time wandering around Baltimore and DC. During daylight that means museums, monuments and bookstores. After dark, almost anything goes.

Starting conversations with strangers, sharing embarrassing stories and trying out new places.

People are always telling me I have a great smile.

I've been reading War and Peace for three years and counting. The Unbearable Lightness of Being haunts me in the best possible way. Atlas Shrugged is a good novel, but it's not my manifesto. I'm an Austen fan, but I'm not looking for my Mr. Darcy. Bram Stoker's Dracula is the only book about vampires I need. I read lots of non-fiction about economics, kink and sometimes even kinky economics.

Any movie featuring a superhero or a zombie is enough to get me to the theater. Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond. Shark movies are always awesome, even when they're ridiculously bad. I like to be scared. Secretary is my favorite film, but not for the reasons you might assume. The Warriors is legend. Subtitles get me hot. I love a Saturday night at the drive-in.

I time my annual trip to the beach to coincide with Discovery Channel's Shark Week.

There is a shocking amount of Arabic pop music, Timbaland, Ani D. and Madonna on my iPhone. I want to have a torrid affair with Adele and/or Lydia Loveless. I'm working on compiling a playlist of all of the original James Bond movie theme songs.

Indian, Mexican and Mediterranean... But I'll try most things at least once.

I suppose there are many things I could do without, but I'm not interested in trying to do so. I like over-priced coffee, gadgets and lipgloss.

Ben Bernanke is my celebrity crush and I have a strange fascination with Abraham Lincoln. I'm pretty sure I would be one of the first to go in the zombie apocalypse and there's no way I would survive a plane crash on a deserted island. Some days I'm convinced I can take over the world. Other days I don't even want to get dressed.

Wrapping up the week and settling in for a well-deserved happy hour.

I live with my parents. I like it.

I moved back in after my divorce and have yet to leave. I've been here long enough for it to start being embarrassing, but I'm not quite ready to move.

You think I'm awesome and you want to meet me because we're compatible in a fun, sexy way.
