I don't work in entertainment.
I guarantee that you probably don't know anyone that works in my field. And I love love love my job.

This is quite the shameless plug, eh?

Let's see. You'll probably want me on your team at trivia, or if you're playing in any sort of geography team. If you need someone to cook a mean stir-fry, I'd also be the person to contact. I take my pride in my ability to drive a stick shift, and I have changed my own oil. I also speak Spanish fluently.
Perhaps the best summary is what a fellow classmate said to me in my 8th grade yearbook: "You know a lot of useless information." I'd think that still holds true.

Someone once said I could "work a room," and another said that I was "dinner party safe." So take that as you will.

I promise I'm humble.

That I'm tall. Which is odd, because I don't think I'm THAT tall...

I'll also talk to pretty much anyone.

Favorite book is Crime and Punishment, and not just because I had to read it in school. I love the WSJ, The Economist, Car and Driver, and Details - but only when I want to feel like I need to restock my closet and learn how to smell alluring. Ha.

For living in Los Angeles, I watch very few movies. I tend to have a penchant for liking bad movies though ("Showgirls," for one) and also, a few stand-outs include "The Departed," "Mean Girls," "Goodfellas," and "Bridesmaids." The last movie that I saw was "Magic Mike." I realize that this was months ago. Oops.

With regards to music - pretty much anything goes, but I'm really into 90s R&B at this very moment. Oh, I almost forgot - if you have tickets to the Hollywood Bowl, I don't care who is playing - it's a date.

Food wise? I'm not a foodie. A turkey burger, sweet potato fries, and iced tea could be my meal forever. Chipotle is good. Pretty much anything with chips and salsa (bottomless, obvi) is good, and also - if we're talking genres - Mediterranean and Mexican are the surest of fire ways to get me to go to dinner with you. I'm not a vegetarian. At all. But you can be.

I feel like "family/fun/friends/love/life/air" are the "world peace" answer equivalents, so let's get into more tangible items:

1) My car. (This is LA, and I happen to love my car)
2) Rainbow sandals (though TOMS are an alternate)
3) Perrier (regular, sil vous plait)
4) Mexican Food
5) The Wall Street Journal
6) CrossFit
7) My iPhone (I'm aware I've exceed the 6 item limit)

Upward mobility. That's basically a short hand of way of saying "getting what I want out of life." A house, kids, etc. - I want all of that. That said - I'm more than blessed with regards to my job, and most of all, my family and friends. They are everything to me.

I am a big philosophy person, thought it's more private than anything. I spend an awful lot of time thinking about the big "why" that surrounds everything we do, and how everything is (or isn't, perhaps) related. You can call me spiritual as well, though with a healthy dose of ecumenism and not an ounce of proselytizing.

Stoked that I get to sleep in on Saturday.

That admitting private things to perfect strangers on the Internet is le crazy.

But for starters? I hate cheese.

You're an individual.
You speak/write English with attention to grammar and spelling.
You know how to drive a stick shift.
You are a wordsmith.
You have nice teeth.
You want a family with 2.1 children
You aren't politically correct.
Your message will consist of more than one line.

Any or all of the above - or some nifty reason that I have left out. :)
