The basics: I grew up in Southern California (don't hold that against me). I've been in SF for 7 years and love it here. I live in the Mission, but I'm not a hipster. I graduated college and can hold an intelligent conversation, but am equally satisfied with silence at times. I love getting to know new people and exploring this crazy city, but often I'm content to just play a game of cards with my friends over a bottle of wine and some good tunes.

Stuff I like: live music, experiencing new cultures, fuzzy blankets, peanut butter, the snooze button, being silly, being serious, learning new things, the ocean and a bunch of other stuff too.

Stuff you should like: sarcasm, getting to know someone, trying new restaurants, curiosity, being silly, being serious and a bunch of other stuff too.

I work in advertising, which can be cool at times and really annoying at others. But I also recognize that life is not just a 9 to 5 gig, so I make time for my passions, like traveling, writing, laughing with friends and eating great food.

being a good friend, making breakfast, bungee jumping (okay I only did it once, and I was scared sh*tless, but I think I did pretty well all things considered).

my red hair, my sharp wit and my skills on the pool table.

Books - Pillars of the Earth, Tortilla Curtain, Glass Castle just to name a few.

Movies - The Hangover, Pulp Fiction, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Shawshank Redemption, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, Bridesmaids, Amelie, Fight Club, Memento

Music - The list is too long to post here, but I'm currently listening to Geographer, The Generationals, Little Dragon, the Decemberists, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Dr. Dog, Yeasayer. And I'm eternally listening to Radiohead, the National, Bob Marley, Otis Redding, Lauren Hill, Spoon, Stevie Wonder, to name a few.

Food - I love to eat great food and this city has tons of it... Some of my favorite restaurants are Thai House Express, Sushi Zone, Universal Cafe, Spork and Puerto Allegre.

great friends and family, a passport, a laptop, a concert to look forward to, wine, laughter.

the proportion of straight men to straight women in this fine city and how it's simply not working in my favor ;).

either at happy hour with friends or on my couch with a movie.

I hate the word hella. It's not a word. Even in SF.

you're intelligent and adventurous, understand sarcasm, like meeting new people and are just generally pretty damn cool.
