I am not residing in Pocatello, Idaho, but while I figure out whether or not I will use OkCupid in the future, that's where my profile shall reside. (Besides, if Tom Spanbauer grew up there, and his novels have helped me grow, then it can't be completely awful as far as random locations go.)

I foresee randomness in my future. At least that's what the Magic 8-ball predicts.

Teasing and being teased.

I am a bit quiet, but am often willing to share my sarcasm with those who have a dry wit.

Books: The Man Who Fell in Love With the Moon; The Things They Carried; The German Lesson; The Magic Lantern; A Clockwork Orange; A Coney Island of the Mind; The Texture of Memory; Brave New World; Northern Lights; Largo Desolato; Falling Man; Waiting for Godot; Prague; Rock 'n' Roll; Now is the Hour

I have a weakness for theatre, history driven by narrative and memory, cultural and literary theory, and the novels of Tim O'Brien. The rhythm of shorter sentences and brief chapters holds great appeal to me.

I am a firm believer in one-sentence paragraphs.

Films: Daisies; Dogville; The Graduate; American Beauty; Little Miss Sunshine; Goodbye Lenin!; The Muppets Take Manhattan; Dancer in the Dark; Citizen Vaclav Havel Goes on Vacation; Sweeney Todd; Wag the Dog

In general, films which are dark, and/or have ties to Central Europe.

Music: folk; German pop; showtunes; celtic; country; blues; indie and alternative as I get exposed to them

In terms of specific groups: Of Montreal; The Magnetic Fields; Wir sind Helden; Tomte; ABBA; Phil Ochs; Peter, Paul &Mary; Velvet Underground; Aimee Mann; Vienna Teng; Stephen Sondheim; Carol King; Joni Mitchell; Gin Blossoms; Simon and Garfunkel; Math and Physics Club; Pete Seeger; Maritime; Bon Iver

Food/Drinks: warm bread; coffee; milk; chick peas; garlic; cashews; water; loganberry

A crisp, biting winter, reading, playful tickles, notebooks, clouds, people who challenge my ideas and how I think.

What I value, the merits of public transportation, nature, and random things like why I find star-nosed mole-rats adorable.

...eager to unwind with a close friend or two, chatting over coffee or a good brew.

Either that, or wishing that I could be at a zoo.

Or both.

I am highly attracted to people who wear long sleeves during summer heat.

I have not outgrown sandwichs that are cut into quarters.

I am more attracted to women than men.
