I really don't take myself too seriously, and I kind of require the same in the people with whom I surround myself. I will make fun of you on a regular basis, so you need to be able to laugh at yourself. I'll also probably correct your grammar, but that's because I'm annoying.

I enjoy a good book, a hot latte, and a crossword puzzle on a rainy afternoon. That, or really crappy reality television. I like to go to plays and museums and to see live music. I like to travel, often irresponsibly when I should be in school. I make a lot of snap judgments and impulsive decisions, but I'm really good about laughing it off when they blow up in my face. Usually. I don't get stressed out about things that most people would, but if a web page won't load I can feel my blood pressure rising. I like cold weather and rainy days, unless I want to eat outside on the patio. My mom says I'm impossible, but I promise, it grows on you.

I majored in Journalism in college, because I liked interviewing people, not because I wanted to be a reporter. Now I'm trying not to get kicked out of law school - it's an uphill battle. They're not playing around with those grading curves.

Being stubborn, making people laugh, and crossword puzzles on weekdays. I also bake a mean Red Velvet cupcake.

My winning personality and keen fashion sense.

Books: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, anything by Chuck Klosterman, Water for Elephants, Ender's Game, anything by Salinger and Hemingway if I'm in a somber mood.

Movies: Igby Goes Down, Clueless, Peter Pan, Newsies (Christian Bale at his finest), Good Will Hunting

Music: Ryan Adams. Jenny Lewis. Ben Gibbard. Elvis Costello. Damien Rice.

Food: The aforementioned Red Velvet cupcakes, sushi, asparagus, blueberry pancakes. I also love a good pesto.

Really, I have very eclectic tastes and way more than my fair share of guilty pleasures....

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart, and Captain Planet.

Alternatively: chapstick, my family and friends, my grandmother's corn pudding, lemonade, my cellphone, and my iPod.

Watching Say Yes to the Dress with my roommates.

That, or sitting in some darkly lit dive bar with a Communist theme drinking PBR with my friends.

Deep down inside, I still think online dating is really, really creepy.
