Recently, my mom accidentally referred to this site as OKStupid. I haven't called it by any other name since. I love to laugh. Now this doesn't mean that I can't be serious or focused, but I don't like drama and try to have a sense of humor about life. I will make you laugh out loud at least twice on our first date, that's my personal guarantee to you.
I grew up in the John Hughes-esque suburbs of Chicago. Post college I tried living in London and Las Vegas (long story) before settling happily in NYC.
My job is crazy and fun and weird and requires that I go out and socialize often. The silver lining being that I love my coworkers so this never feels like a chore.
Work and friends aside, I live for my downtime at home. I enjoy television in all it's incarnations. (though I try to avoid reality tv)
I'm stubborn to a fault, but I swear I'll admit when I'm wrong (I may grumble about it)
I'm almost always thinking of my next trip somewhere. This year alone I will have added six new stamps to my passport. (humble brag)
For my last birthday I hired a Hall & Oates cover band to perform. Best. Party. Ever.
I've seen Tom Jones in concert multiple times.
I've been doing the online thing on and off for what feels like forever at this point. It still feels a little weird and unnatural and I'll still catch myself hoping that I'll just meet someone while sitting on my front stoop. But years of attending weddings and parties hosted by my friends who have met someone online prove that it does work.
My RomCom hope is that I'll know it when I see it/feel it, but more likely I will have to get to know you for awhile first. And more importantly, you will have to get to know me. But lucky you!! I am a great date.

Work keeps me fairly busy, but otherwise I just like hanging out. People watching might be one of my favorite things to do. I have a nephew in Chicago and I adore him. This is not something I'm doing with my life, just worthy of note.

I'm really good at taking fake phone calls to avoid the Children International volunteers on the street.
I'm excellent at spending all day Sunday in my pajamas, watching tv or playing video games.
I'm skilled in knowing actors' names from really obscure films or tv shows they've done.
And explaining electronics to my mother.

Can sarcasm be something people immediately notice? If not, then my Peter Sellers glasses.

I read just about anything. I finished Devil in the White City and loved it. Now I'm geeking out reading the Game of Thrones series. It's taking me forever to get through them but they're terrific.
I love seeing all movies (except horror films) either at home or at the theater. Though the theater has the distinct advantage of large boxes of reese's pieces.
With music I am all over the place. Seriously into Mumford & Sons and Civil Wars right now, but my Spotify playlist includes classical pieces as well as One Direction. I have no shame when it comes to music.
If I could have french fries with every meal I would be a happy girl.

Family
Friends
iPhone
Eye mask for sleeping (seriously I love it)
Passport
DVR

What to eat for dinner. And should it include French fries (the answer is almost always yes)

out with friends having drinks. I usually need to blow off some steam at the end of the week

I can't cook. Well, can't and don't kind of mean the same thing in this scenario. You've been warned.
Also, I own Star Wars curtains. Technically they're for a child's size window, but I couldn't bear to part with them.

You like to laugh and talk. You can easily quote the BBC Office, Roadhouse, or Waiting for Guffman. You have a bag packed and are ready to go somewhere. You won't judge me for getting french fries at every restaurant we go to.
