Extra cheerful. Good heart, nice girl, slightly evil sense of humor. Thrilled by banter, discussions on literature, talking to strangers, Bikram yoga, volunteer work, champagne, interesting food events and an embarrassing number of sitcoms.

Getting better all the time.

Creating fun out of no fun.

Enthusiasm. And I'm pretty cute.

Leviathan by Paul Auster, Sound and the Fury, Don Quixote, Gone With the Wind (truly a genius anti-love story, don't believe the "greatest love story of the 20th century" drivel on the dust jacket,) East of Eden. I devour Chabon. Addicted to Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I dream of one day writing an essay half as good as David Foster Wallace's 'A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again.' I could go on forever. Please talk literature to me. Instant swoon.

Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Modern Family, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Peep Show, Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead

60s soul music, anything that makes me feel like dancing.

Food - Love it all, but super into tacos lately.

I don't mind doing without and I've been truly blessed with the ability to appreciate what I have at the moment. Is that a cop-out?

Pizza.

While I have you here - why does everyone wear sarcasm like a badge of honor on this site? People list sarcasm as something they can't live without all the time.

Nerdy stuff. Food, drinks, baseball. Grand gestures. Motivation. The best way to get all the things I want.

Building my own summer home one day - is buying a pre-fab kit cheating?

I like when people say "I either go out or I stay home." Right, yes.

I'm really good at fixing things, but I'll still let you have the first shot.

You're charming, adaptable, handsome, have a full life and are ultimately looking for something serious but are still able to relax and see where things go. Your history is big and colorful and you survived it with strength and grace. You believe someone can be a realist and an optimist. Also, I'm a sucker for fair-haired men, but that is, by no means, a must.

Bonus points if you like: road trips, cooking, eating things I cook, dance parties, the beach, punctuality, dogs, that I occasionally like to do stand-up amateur nights, weddings, Brooklyn, my extensive collection of sundresses, proofreading your text messages, baseball (Yankees fan, but I appreciate all good baseball,) nights out drinking, cuddling on the couch, not making me watch movies from the 80s.
