I'm an artist/designer/musician with a tendency to act goofy. I formally sign my name backwards and am not afraid to invade a dance floor. I'm always down for spontaneous road trips, betting on the Wiener Dog races at Golden Gate Fields, going to concerts, and making the most out of living in SF

I'm currently the Senior Designer & Team Lead at a swank startup company. We were acquired by one of the 'big guys' last year, so I now have the best job ever. Also, I'm the lead guitarist of the 90s cover band: Generation Y.

Those are both footnotes in the story of me though. What's all-consuming now is my New Years Resolution...travel to 13 countries in 2013. If you like to travel and have some advice, we should talk.

I have a habit of wikipedia-ing movies right after I watch them...so I tend to kick ass at trivia nights.

Books: Chuck Palahniuk, Stephen King, Timothy Ferriss, AJ Jacobs. World War Z, The Life of Pi, Hairstyles of the Damned (it's much better than Perks of Being a Wallflower). I'm an avid audiobook listener on my work commutes.

Movies: American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, Jurassic Park, Not Another Teen Movie, The Matrix, Fight Club, Old School. Recently: Judge Dredd, Looper, Cloud Atlas

TV: I haven't owned a tv for a long time, so my references are a little dated: House MD, Tosh.0, Simpsons, Seinfeld, Archer, Daria, Home Movies

Music: I'm a big music fan, whether its classic rock (AC/DC, Metallica, Boston), modern rock (Queens of the Stone Age, Trivium, Rammstein), alternative (Garbage, Weezer, Silversun Pickups, The Killers, Muse), pop (Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Sheryl Crow) or something different (Bloodhound Gang, 3LAU, LMFAO,Chromeo, Aqua, The Faint, Glenn Miller). I can't say that I like modern Country music though, but who does?

Food: Sushi! (the quality kind and the touristy kind) and Italian. You haven't really lived until you've ate at Oh My Sushi in Mountain View.

Sports: Tennis, Soccer, Golf, Billiards, and my goal this year is to become an Intermediate Snowboarder!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, my guitar, my Tempurpedic bed, music, Mint Oreo Ice Cream, and exclamation points!!!!

What life will be like when my student loans are paid off, where to vacation to next, and whether or not I have enough time to take a quick nap

Partying with friends/coworkers. I'm fortunate enough to have lots of friends which makes every weekend unique. Guinness? Yes, please!

-You can sing or play an instrument
-You love ice cream and/or sushi
-You grew up watching the Simpsons or Seinfeld
-You're the artsy type
-"You are, a Cinema"
-You like cats (but you are not the 'Crazy Cat Lady')
or
-You sign your name with an exclamation point

I gravitate toward girls with strong personalities that can be sarcastic and don't take the world too seriously. If you're confident enough to hold your own in foreign situations, yet are not labeled as 'that annoying drunk-girl' at a bar, then we should talk.
