I am a silly, cute girl who just moved to San Francisco and am loving the ridiculous (sometimes redonkulous) things there are to do everywhere I turn. I like to brag to people in less fantastic cities about being front and center for an original drag musical performance of Heather's that only cost $7. Name me another place this could/would happen, I dare you. I don't know why I didn't move here sooner! I'm hoping to get to know fun people to explore with.

I've been working hard in Silicon Valley doing corporate work for start-ups, which is fun, but has been consuming and now I'm getting the chance to have fun in the city. Is it awful that I'm slightly happy that the economy is in the toilet?

Getting caught in intense discussions about nearly anything, drunken karaoke, making and chasing bubbles (true story, kept a soap bubble alive in my kitchen for over half an hour. I looked like an idiot, but it was irresistible.), breaking bones in my foot (2 and counting, both a good story).

I love reading, travel to an exotic locale, hiking, making up words, giggling, juvenile behavior, causing my niece (objectively the cutest in history) to laugh, jumping off cliffs/out of airplaines (usually with a bit of equipment).

I like laughing and making people laugh.

LeGuin.

Travel (or more appropriately, the fantastic experiences, sights, stories, people, sounds that are experienced while traveling), ideas (communication thereof), ethnic food, chocolate, vino, massages (only recently discovered on a trip to Thailand where a 4 foot, tiny woman beat the crap out of me and rendered me speechless and blissed out the next day).

Carousing. I'm a big carouser.

...you're interested in meeting me and/or exploring the city. Okay, hopefully both ;)
