I'm intelligent, ambitious, quirky, slightly neurotic. I've built up a cynical and sarcastic veneer to protect my romantic heart. I'm a Bay Area native who prefers Southern California. I'm a mystery shrouded in an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. Solve it, and I'll be yours until we both get sick of each other.

I write for and about television. You may have a website owned by the major conglomerate I work for open in another window. You may also have watched an episode of the show that I used to write, but admitting so may compromise your masculinity. I have big dreams. Some have come true. The rest will in good time. I have recently had the epiphany that love is as important as work. Since I am not fortunate enough to live in a romantic comedy, I have accepted that the man of my dreams will not be accidentally booked into my hotel room allowing for wacky hijinks to ensue. So this is about as close to meeting cute as it gets.

In no particular order:
writing
listening
laughing
talking incessantly about my favorite TV shows and movies
making you laugh (assuming you have a good sense of humor)
trapeze
procrastinating
eating more than a skinny girl is supposed to eat
coming off as aloof and cool when the opposite is true
thinking ten steps ahead, when I really only need to worry about the next 24 hours

My dazzling wit, my sparkling personality and my modesty.
To quote one guy, "What's hot about you is you're skinny but you've got an ass." I'll take his word for it.

Mexican food
my friends
sunshine
the internet
hope
all the past experiences that have made me who I am today

words
dreams
whether or not the universe has a plan for any of us
what I will eat for dinner
how I could make this profile more entertaining

at the movies/ house party/ entertainment industry networking thing with friends/writing

But I'm sure I'd be having more fun with you*

* I reserve the right to change this opinion if we meet and despise each other

I often am at my best after midnight

You are interesting, reasonably extroverted, in shape, capable of playing a romantic lead even if deep down you see yourself as the quirky sidekick.

You are personally and professionally stable and have figured out what you want to be when you grow up.
