Despite having written professionally, I find these self-summaries excruciatingly baffling to pen ( or type) -this doesn't really help you much. Maybe you relate though? I want that... someone who relates and I can relate with.

I want to make you laugh and you to make me laugh...a lot...without either of us trying...

I have lived in 4 countries & multiple US cities. Spent half of my life in LA and after 2 years of being bi-coastal am now firmly planted in NYC. There are endless places to visit and if I could be paid to see them all I would- starting now- with Southeast Asia.

As an only child with parents who lived in different countries, I developed a fearlessness of doing things on my own. The truth is though- most adventures are so much better to discover, experience and tell stories after, when there is someone with you.

By nature I am a creative but I am willing to learn and be taught about things beyond my nature, especially by those passionate about what they are sharing.

Why am I here? The internet can be a great resource to meet people you wouldn't normally cross paths with and that can be exciting. One hopes... I believe the sooner we meet in person the better.

I have a fantastic personal chef job in lower Manhattan and just finished exec-producing/starring in a play in Los Angeles. What's up next? Not sure, I am currently seeking my next creative project. But that's what I do, is that what I'm doing with my life? I don't think I can truly answer that question ...

Getting people to share their secrets.
Cooking
Making people laugh when they need it most.
Walking long distances in all kinds of weather.
Snow skiing.
Rambling.
Witty texting (Can provide Strong References.)
Tongue Twisters...

Depends on who is doing the looking and what I am wearing. My eyes and smile would be high on the list...

My next creative project...things and people I shouldn't be thinking about...the environment...wondering what other people are thinking about as they walk about their day...the state of politics in this country...films...food.... Wishing I could beam places...like Whistler right now to ski for four days then Bali...

No typical- Some work, some play, some solitary.

I only had the first semester of 6th grade and the second semester of 7th grade. I think I missed something very important in that oddly skipped year.

For any reason you like :)

Here are a few suggestions:

- You actually want to meet up in person. I am not really looking for pen/text pals ;)

-You are single. If you are in a committed relationship do what you need to do but that's not for me.

- Because.. I'm not likely to contact you first ;)

P.S. I'm much more likely to respond if you have a photo posted where I can see your face, including your eyes. Not that I don't love your dog, sunglasses, abs or surfboard but I would prefer to see you :)
