I think that the meaning of life is to have some really great stories by the time it's over.

I've just finished college so I'm beginning the career process. I'm a fashion designer so I'm trying to decide where I want to take that degree and what exactly I want to do with it.

Until I get that settled, I'm just enjoying what comes my way. I love finding street fairs and markets, and exploring the city I saw far too little of in the past few years because I've been working behind a desk.

finding the fun in things, sharing useless (but usually interesting) trivia, cooking, and knitting sweaters.

I'm an amazon.

The condensed version:

Books: Persuasion, A Million Little Pieces, The Count of Monte Christo, The Moon is a Cold Harsh Mistress, Jane Eyre

Movie: Zombieland, Igby Goes Down, Stardust, Royal Tenenbaums, Sliding Doors

Show: Firefly, Six Feet Under, True Blood, Bones, Doctor Who

Music: I grew up listening to a lot of indie rock like Mates of State, Mosest Mouse and the Faint (all of which I still love), but I'm expanding my tastes to things like bluegrass, hip-hop, and even pop. I love listening to new sounds. Fun is my new favorite.

Food: thai red curry with veggies, supreme pizza, Indian food of any kind, salad greens with fruit in it, and dulche de leche icecream

1. new experiences
2. family
3. silly and witty banter
4. noise (I came from the country. I can't stand absolute silence.)
5. A triple short Americano in the morning.
6. new foods

traveling more, moving to Europe again, and learning more languages.

out with friends dancing up a storm, enjoying a glass of wine with a movie, or making something edible or wearable.

I actually love to joke and banter and make people laugh, but I can't tell a punchline joke to save my life.

You can contribute to an informed and interesting conversation. You can laugh and have people laugh with you, and you still think opening the door for a lady is classy.

Also, it wouldn't hurt if you were a bit on the tall side.
