I'm a little bit anal graphic designer, a pop culture lover, recent fantasy novel reader (A Song of Ice and Fire is my gateway drug), fashion devotee who sometimes reads tech blogs. Recently went to a calligraphy class and is considering taking it up. I enjoy good conversation and always looking for a laugh over anything absurd or satirical or just silly. high-brow, low-brow, exciting, boring, it's usually not when/what/why/where but who i'm with that matters.

my match: someone who makes me laugh, who doesn't take themselves too seriously. i admire people who are passionate about what they do, honest to the people around them, and loyal.

i joined this because i feel like my life's general orbit keeps bringing me the same sorts of people. i have a sneaking suspicion that there are some really cool funny guys who i will never meet simply because we don't hang out in the same part of town or because i never ride the 123. or maybe we exist right under each other's noses but just keep missing the other person by 5 minutes or something. whatever. hopefully this internet thing can really help me out.

i work as a designer at a fun digital agency. we make internet things.

Photoshop.

And hula-hooping.

maybe you can tell me

my iphone, something to put my hair up with, condiments, privacy, something to accomplish, and good lighting.

what i'm going to do next

probably grabbing drinks with my co-workers or sit down with a movie.

if you want. though I should mention that I'm cool with winking. no judgments. I don't get those people who specify they won't respond to winks. i hate writing funny amazing copy for someone i've never met and i won't make you do it. we'll figure out if we like each other when we meet, right?
