if we're going "scientifically", i'm an ISFP. i don't remember what that means, but if you were at a party, you'd probably find me hunkered in a corner near the food table with a few friends being totally ridiculous. basically, i'm an extroverted introvert.

kids and pets like me. i think they are pretty good judges of character - they get that i'm a playful/gentle person beneath a heavy layer of sarcasm.
i think you'd just have to meet me to find out the rest. i know that sounds coy, but reading this profile only goes so far, you know? let's just have a real conversation over a beer.

mostly just trying to do things that i find interesting/meaningful. figuring out how to live generously. making my coworkers laugh - i feel that this is one of my job responsibilities.

sometimes i run, even though i'd rather be playing some sort of sport instead, like soccer or ultimate frisbee. just started training again for the Giants Half Marathon in August.

i volunteer at the SFSPCA, walking dogs. i got my cat there last year, and was impressed with the organization. decided to volunteer with the dogs so i wouldn't feel like i was cheating on my cat. it's been great so far, love helping dogs find a good home.

Forgetting that I've looked at your profile before.
Being sarcastic.
Making people laugh.
Sleeping in.
Taking naps.
Pub trivia nights.

I'm told I have a pretty good smile.

Books: too many to name. anything by douglas coupland (generation x), david james duncan (the brothers k), nick hornby (high fidelity) or anne lamott (traveling mercies). me talk pretty one day by david sedaris.
Shows: I don't have a TV right now. so during dinner, i usually listen to baseball on the radio. it's actually been pretty fun. i'm a born a's fan, but i like the giant's too. shows i watch online: friday night lights. parks & recreation. new girl. 30 rock. simpsons. deadliest catch. party down. veronica mars.
Movies: too many to name here too. anchorman. whale rider. school of rock. rear window. goonies!
Music: this depends on my mood. right now: the lumineers. bon iver. ray lamontagne. rilo kiley. death cab for cutie. fun. mayer hawthorne. the head and the heart. foster the people. sharon jones and the dap kings. weezer. anything 80's. adele. i work in the city, and listen to a lot of podcasts while commuting on BART: This American Life, Radio Lab, All Songs Considered.
food: fried stuff. actually, i'll eat anything.

short answer: (pizza +beer) x 3 = 6 things i can't do without.

longer answer:
friends. laughter. cheese. naps. used bookstores. bacon.

what kind of pranks to pull on my coworkers and friends.
the theology books that i read and try to figure out how they fit into everyday life.
what i'm going to have for lunch.
when i get to go to a baseball game next, sit in the sun, and yell ridiculous things. with a side of nachos.
if i should take a photography class. i'd like to know more about what makes a good photo, besides, you know, what instagram filter to use.

doing whatever comes up. usually happy hour because i feel i've earned it after the work week. sometimes low-key with the netflix queue, sometimes karaoke, sometimes good food and drink with good friends.

I have been in a fantasy baseball league with my younger brother and his friends since 2003. I only kind of know what's going on compared to them & and they got really angry when I accidentally won a few years ago.

you would like to test my trivia knowledge (areas of expertise: sports, movies, world capitals).
appreciate a good beer.
going to the pinball museum in alameda intrigues you. (i've never been but have been meaning to go)
