Graduated UCLA in 2008 with a B.A. in Anthropology. I've been living in Israel since Summer 2009 and currently I'm living in Jerusalem until February doing a Hebrew ulpan/Arts/Learning program and then staying to live in this fantastic country at least until June. I'm still debating whether or not to make Aliyah but that's fine since right now I'm just enjoying living in the Holy Land!!! Other than that I am truly for the 1st time in my life, enjoying every day and am so extremely happy with where I am and who I am. I'm working on getting healthy and choosing better people to surround myself with. I'm enjoying all Israel has to offer: museums, festivals, concerts, galleries...I'm basically just living my life to the fullest and relishing every minute of it!!!!

listening, singing, writing, photography, making stupid puns, baking rice krispy treats in weird flavours, adding garlic to anything (except the aforementioned treats of course), being goofy, analyzing situations, making collages, dancing, laughing with my friends, laughing a lot, swimming, planning events, and being me :-)

my crazy style...and then my red hair, and then my blue green eyes, and then the goofy grin I usually always have plastered across my face...

Books: any book by Jane Green (Jemima J, Straight Talking), Alice Sebold (The Lovely Bones), and David Sedaris (Me Talk Pretty One Day). LOVED She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, of course the Harry Potter books, Gone With the Wind, Fast Food Nation, Interview With A Vampire,To Kill a Mockingbird, I ABSOLUTELY can't get enough of the Uncle John Bathroom Readers...I'm a sucker for random tidbits of trivial information.

Movies: Waitress, Goodfellas, Little Mermaid, Hairspray (new and old), Chicago, anything by John Waters (Cry Baby, etc.), Hook, Saved!, Garden State, Across the Universe, Finding Neverland, Enchanted, anything by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Sweeney Todd), P.T. Anderson (Magnolia, Boogie Nights), Requiem for a Dream, Being John Malkovich, Donnie Darko, Napoleon Dynamite, Crash, Neverending Story, Sword in the Stone, Chasing Amy, Prey for Rock & Roll, Slums of Beverly Hills, Moulin Rouge, Imagine Me & You, Party Monster, Secretary, But I'm a Cheerleader, Closer, Se7en, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Rules of Attraction, Kill Bill, Opposite of Sex, Labryinth, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dirty Pretty Things, Day Without a Mexican, Bowling for Columbine, The Breakfast Club, Teen Witch, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Land Without Bread, Se7en, Lolita, Interview with a Vampire, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Pay It Forward, Life of David Gale,Cruel Intentions, and Legally Blonde. If you couldn't tell, I am a movie nut. I could watch movies all. Day. Long. No joke.

Music: Anything and everything!!! I especially love jazz. Like the oldies of Ella, Etta, and Louis. But anything that is music I pretty much enjoy listening to. I believe it's not possible to judge music, just as you can't judge art because how can you judge someone's inner emotions and thoughts? See? You can't. :-) Any type of music you give me to listen to I can assure you I will find some enjoyment in it somewhere.

Food: almost any Jewish food especially matzo ball soup and hamantaschen. I also love ravioli, caesar salad, frozen yogurt, sushi, hibachi (from Beni Hana), fried rice, fruit, onions, garlic, and summer squash.

1. My family and friends. 2. My Ipod 3. Movies 4. My positive outlook on life 5. My voice (other than losing it in a short term cold which still sucks) 6. The internet or cell phone seem so cliche but I hate to admit it's probably true.

things on my to do list that I usually end up forgetting to think about. And also how much longer till I am self sufficient and able to help out my family like they've done for me. And also how to progress my life towards being a more enlightened person.

at the movies with my friends, the local bar that has karaoke with my friends, or out dancing with my friends...sometimes early in the night at Shabbat services.

My mom passed away when I was 10 and although it was difficult to live with and still deal with day to day, I've come to believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Today, I have my whole family who helped raise me, including some of my friends' family, and I'm proud to be able to say I grew up just fine and wonder if her death was a blessing in disguise because I don't know where I'd be if she hadn't. Everything could be drastically different and not in a good way. You never know :-)

Someone who respects me and is interested in more than just a hook up-knows how to be a goofball-will sing karaoke no matter how bad his voice is, just because it's fun -appreciates all art forms-loves the beach-wants a big family-believes in upholding family traditions -loves animals -knows how to listen-is confident in himself-is openminded to people & situations -is funny & has a quick wit -is intelligent but not cocky-loves to travel (i travel alot and love it!!!)-enjoys going to museums, art shows, musicals...I'm very into "cultural activities"-gets along with HIS family -has never cheated on a girlfriend-is honest, trustworthy, & loyal -isn't a pushover -knows how to be a bad boy wrapped up inside a good man-doesn't smoke cigs-likes to go out dancing or go to a bar (cheeky kind not trendy kind) but doesn't mind sitting on the couch, cuddling, watching a movie -isn't afraid of commitment if it's with the right girl -is a hopeless romantic -likes me how I am, not how I could be-is able to debate serious topics & stand his ground -is passionate about life-isn't afraid to try new things -has a thirst for knowledge -likes to go camping -loves to show PDA (public displays of affection) -is sexually adventurous while in a relationship-has to be politically aware-doesn't have to be really into movies but it's a definite bonus!!!-is goal oriented & focused-knows that friendship is essential in any relationship.

I say/do A LOT of silly stuff & need a similar guy & even if I seem like an idiot at times he's the one who'll get it/at least laugh with me about it. I guess I'm looking for basics: trust, compassion, reliability, romance, originality, debates & great friendship with long talks, melting kisses & laughs. Waking up each morning with the person & feel butterflies even if for 2 seconds 50 yrs from now. Love isn't about finding the perfect person. It's about finding that imperfect person & realizing how perfect they are for you.
