Survivor of the advertising world. Bookish but adventurous. Endlessly open-minded and always willing to try anything twice. Able to find the silver lining in any situation. Generally nice, occasionally funny, and mostly well-adjusted. Unabashed Disney fan.

Just moved to LA (Silver Lake) from NYC for work! Trying to figure this crazy city out. Say hi.

Former Don Draper, current writer of novels and TV shows.

Procrastination, thinking on my feet, writing, drinking people under the table, learning foreign languages (except for French), guessing the endings to movies, and other things that are less important.

My eyelashes, most likely.

Lists! Apparently.
Bookstores.
Weird food.
Aimless wanderings and coffee shop days.
Theater. I love a good show. Or a really bad one.
Film. See the above list. I might have a problem.

William Shakespeare, Christopher Isherwood, Philip K. Dick, and Pepper LaBeija.

Writing or drinking or writing AND drinking. I'm not an alcoholic... wine is just a big part of my family life.

My klutziness has been known to approach levels usually reserved for Inspector Clouseau and Lucille Ball.

You're literate, ambitious, independent-minded, and looking for a partner in crime. I would also accept queries from astronaut Mike Dexter. Or Adam Scott.
