Oh God, you should have seen this one hot chick. She was totally Italian... or maybe some kinda Spanish.

All right, so I'm not actually that egotistical, but people do often ask me if I'm Italian when in fact, I'm "some kind of Spanish". I dish out a lot of random quotes in my regular conversation (it just happens), and tend to tap dance while waiting for trains and elevators. I do a really good impression of Judy Garland which actually gets better when I've been drinking. I'm not sure if that says something about me... or Judy.

I said I wasn't going to turn into a bike person and then I got a bike... and now I can't really stand to be without it. No, it's not a road bike, but it's the cutest bike in the world and it suits me just fine. Unless you're one of those guys who dresses head to toe in spandex, I can probably keep up with you.

Some fun facts about me: I have no middle name, although for some reason my credit card statement likes to give me the middle initial "L." I was born with the hiccups.

Full disclosure, I was really tempted to delete all of the above and just put "I am Sancho." in this space.

Pinin' for the fjords.

Also, I am pursuing musical theater, which is, for the record, only something totally crazy people do.

- musical theater (otherwise I wouldn't be pursuing it =P).
- rants.
- randomly quoting tv shows/movies/musicals.
- checking the facts.
- being a good fat kid. If I am in a room with a cupcake, said cupcake has five seconds to live.
- baking.
- assigning celebrity hybrid doppelgangers.
- maintaining a high level of functionality in a crisis.
- making absurdly long lists.

I seem like a totally normal person until I realize we have one really key, awesome thing in common and then I will flail and turn into an overloud caricature of a person.

I love to read, mostly fiction. I'm quite fond of most things that are somewhat fantastical in nature. Some favorite authors include: Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Tom Robbins, Ernest Hemingway, George R. R. Martin, and Christopher Moore, just to name a few. I like anything that uses vivid imagery, rich language, and tells a compelling story. Occasionally I also read things that were written by women. Or I just go back and read Pride and Prejudice for the bagillionth time.
Just finished: "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams
Now reading: "Winter's Tale" by Mark Helprin

Top five movies, in no particular order: Amelie, Eternal Sunshine, High Fidelity, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Young Frankenstein. My favorite comic book movie is Watchmen and yes, I have read the graphic novel. I really didn't have a problem with the omission of the squid monster, I thought the adaptation worked well. Close second is Ironman... the first one.

The TV shows I'm enjoying of late have been exceptionally British (Sherlock, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Spy), but I do love some 30 Rock, Modern Family, Psych, South Park, Archer, and a number of other things. I'm trying to economize on the crazy-long lists I make and failing.

I enjoy many kinds of music, though I'm not that into rap, hip hop, overly electric things, screamy things, or country, but there are usually individual artists within those genres who are exceptions. I do particularly love Radiohead, Regina Spektor, Death Cab, Jets to Brazil, and was not super disappointed by the new Ben Folds Five album.
Things I'm currently listening to too much: Matt Pond PA, "The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand", Two Door Cinema Club, Bombay Bicycle Club, Now Now, and Jukebox the Ghost.
In case you happen to be into musical theater and these names mean anything to you, my main composer loves are Michael John LaChiusa, Sondheim, Jason Robert Brown, Kander and Ebb, and a bunch of alums of NYU's Graduate Musical Theater Writing Program whose names will soon be Broadway staples.

Favorite foods are hard for me because I do seriously love food. Honestly, I don't think I could ever date a vegetarian. We can be friends, I can even cook some awesome things for you, but one of the things I love most about food is sharing it, and if I'm going to make some amazingly delicious chili or lamb meatballs... it's no fun at all if you can't (or won't) also taste it.
Dessert might be my favorite thing, I have a sweet tooth that could kill a hippo (see above re: good fat kid). Brunch is my other favorite thing. I constantly struggle over whether I want sweet or savory for brunch, ideally both would happen (ex. waffle sandwich). Pork--meaning all kinds of pig-based meats--is my third favorite thing (not third in order of preference, just third in the order in which I'm mentioning them). Also cheese is possibly the best thing ever. Possibly better than dessert. See? I said I couldn't pick favorite foods.

I'm reviewing this list again and it's striking me as kind of dumb. I reserve the right to withhold this information until such time as I come up with a list that isn't dumb. Frankly though, it's kind of an idiotic question.

Given the "cupcake trend" that seems to have swept the nation, I wonder if since, as you have previously been made aware, I am a good fat kid and have therefore been into cupcakes since I was able to chew solid food, that makes me "cooler" than the people who have only recently jumped aboard the cupcake bandwagon. I sit around comparing all "modern" cupcakes to cupcakes I had in the early 90s and sighing about how they just aren't the same while saying things like, "Man, you don't even KNOW. I saw this cupcake in this basement in 1994 once and it BLEW my mind."

For the record, this would be one of the only things in my life that I have ever liked "before it was cool" (the other things being craft beer, old-school pin-up style, and owls). Not because I let my tastes be dictated by the opinions of the masses, but because I'm usually the last to hear about stuff.

[Insert really interesting and totally not boring activity here.] The truth is, I don't know what the word typical means in relation to my life.

When I first joined this site, I was temping as a receptionist at Carnegie Hall and I frequently found myself needing something to pass the time between answering phone calls, sending e-mails, and signing for packages. This is why I have answered so very many questions on here. Back then, you didn't have the option of making your answers public.

When you get to be an "old timer" on a dating site, it's probably time to quit.

any or all of the following applies to you:

- you're really into beer and want to go try lots of different kinds at various cool beer bars around the city.
- you're really into cupcakes and want to spend many-an-evening perfecting the most amazing cupcake recipe anyone's ever tasted.
- you play some kind of musical instrument and are interested in pursuing a collaborative musical project with someone who has never really been part of a band, but is a pretty damn good singer and a half-decent lyricist.
- you are capable of typing and prefer to type in complete, mostly grammatically correct sentences when pursuing any kind of correspondence.
- you have a blue box that is bigger on the inside and that you use to travel throughout time and space.
- you were intrigued and/or entertained by any of the nonsense contained in my profile.
