I moved to LA for college. I graduated college, and I don't want to leave. Grew up somewhere between Baltimore and DC, with lots of rivers to swim in and good forests for campfires. My current dream job is to be a Foreign Service Officer, so chances are I will end up back on that side of the country in a few years, buuut I'm not quite done with this side yet.

I want to meet someone to explore with! My favorite thing to do is ramble around and find sweet little nooks, places to get pie and cupcakes, $1 records, good mac n cheese, beach blankets, those rare places in the city where you can see a star or two, paths to walk and places to ride bikes. It'd be nice to have some like minded company to laugh and giggle and chuckle and chit chat and wander the city together.

I'm giving my brain a rest for a while and trying to do more creative, inspiring, life and love-giving things than I could do when my life was consumed by class. I'm figuring out what I really love and want to do.

Pretending that I know how to play harmonica

Short hair, I bet.

I read The Neverending Story without knowing there was any story past where the movie ends...so it really did seem neverending. Thats why its my favorite!

I usually like non fiction, though. I was an Anthropology major, and the books that I love the most are travelogues, ethnographies, aaand I also really love those books that tell the true weird history of ordinary boring things. Like Coal. and Cod, so strange and hilarious!!

Pluusss anything by, about or vaguely relating to George Orwell.

I love sifting through $1 record bins and my favorite music is usually whatever the best, cheapest records I most recently found were. The other day I bought America, Harmonica Blues and Marvin Gaye.

My favorite movies are usually ones I saw alone. The Reader, Science of Sleep, Joe Dirt, hahaaa its hard not to be embarrassed that my favorite movie is Joe Dirt. But it is, and I have to admit it and get on with my life. I love Joe Dirt.

I can only think of two things that I reeeally couldn't do without- a cell phone and free long distance so I can call my family whenever I want/need/miss them. 3,000 miles would feel a lot farther without those things.

What to do, what to do, what to do. That day, that weekend, with my room, with whatever is in the refrigerator, with the next 5 years, with life. I think and plot and plan and usually end up making a long list, losing it somewhere, and starting over.

You think Yacht Rock is funny.
