Intelligent, romantic, warm and affectionate, selfless, a bit shy but still sociable, very hard-working and passionate about the things I love... with a silly (some would say sarcastic) sense of humor. When I put my mind to something, there is nothing I can't do.

For almost ten years, I've been working in the Bay Area film industry, most recently as a Star Wars writer for Lucasfilm both up at Skywalker Ranch and down in the Presidio.

I've always loved exploring and want to get a big world map, filling it with pins for all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down (I only steal from the best- R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg).

Surviving and/or thriving as an artist. I knew what I was getting myself into going to art school. But I stuck to my guns and it's all worked out quite nicely.

not for nothing, but I'm a great kisser (or so I've been told)

and I like to think I am a very loyal and empathetic friend, a supportive brother/son and a good listener

my glasses? And if I'm not wearing them, that I'm on my hands and knees looking for them?

oh, and that I look young for my age. I blame it on clean living...

I'm a voracious cineaste, consuming films at an ever growing rate: Seven Samurai, Pulp Fiction, Sunrise, Goonies, The Maltese Falcon, Star Wars, The 39 Steps, Lord of the Rings, Memento, Raiders of the Lost Ark, It's a Wonderful Life, Castle of Caligostro, Ratatouille, Blade Runner, Night of the Hunter, From Russia With Love

I'll eat just about anything but love good sushi, Chinese food and New York style pizza

Well, I'm writing all this on a Friday night, so... If not laying low with my friends or out at the movies, I am usually found at home working on one of myriad art projects, half-listening to dumb tv or the rock and/or roll

you are sweet, polite and good natured (treating every human being with respect) but don't take yourself too seriously, fun and love to laugh, loyal and affectionate, creative and at least somewhat nerdy- the girl next door with an edge...
