I am intelligent, funny, and passionate.
My Self-Summary
I suppose that the really defining aspect of my personality is that
I like to see people smile. Whether I am trying to make jokes,
dancing, performing, or cooking something awesome, my main goal is
so often just to squeeze a pleasant reaction out of someone.
I enjoy reading, watching movies, listening to music, going to the
theater, and other such entertainments. When I go out, I prefer
smaller bars or small get-togethers with friends over really noisy
clubs and massive parties. I do enjoy rock clubs when decent bands
are playing, though a show with no good bands can be the worst of
times. I can cook you a good meal, and an even better dessert and I
want to make you laugh. I play bass guitar in my brother's rock
band and have been known to play dodge/kick/volleyball.
I am looking for someone who is smart, with a good sense of humor
and who can forgive me the areas of my life that require
improvement. Give me a shot, because I aim to please.
What I’m doing with my life
I was an attorney, and I suppose I still am, though I no longer
practice. After about 3 years of practicing law, I realized that I
was hating every day more than the last and spent most of my life
angry at the people I dealt with on a day to day basis.
Now I work at a publishing company and hope to one day use my
writing skills for something practical, like editing one of our
newsletters, as a copywriter, or perhaps even as a writer of
fiction.
Lord knows though, that could all change anytime now...
I’m really good at
Cooking.
No seriously, I am pretty rad when it comes to food, specifically
baking.
The first things people usually notice about me
My hair is very well regarded for its softness. Otherwise I would
probably say my sense of humor.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I enjoy books by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore,
Kurt Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams. I am a voracious reader and am
known to tear through a book a day when I don't have much going
on.
My favorite directors are the Coen Brothers (Miller's Crossing), PT
Anderson (Punch Drunk Love), Wes Anderson (Royal Tenenbaums), and
Sergio Leone (For a Few Dollars More).
Some of the bands I like include The Kinks, The Who, The Beatles,
Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Tom Waits, They Might Be Giants, Alice
Cooper, Ryan Adams, Ben Folds Five, B-52s, Jurassic 5, The Streets,
Beastie Boys, Mos Def, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Belle and
Sebastian, The Drive By Truckers, White Stripes, and The Reigning
Sound.
As for food, I love to try everything. I especially love Italian
food, but I am always open to trying new experiences.
These favorites represent a small sample of the things that I
enjoy. I am big into entertainment in all of its forms.
The six things I could never do without
Computer/Internet
Clothes
Soap
Glasses
Air
Water
I spend a lot of time thinking about
inane bits of trivia.
On a typical Friday night I am
hanging out with friends.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I may, or may not be wearing red roos.
You should message me if
You want to laugh... you like the look of me... you want pie... you
otherwise want to ask me a question or engage in some form of
debate.
