We'll be famous friends if you like sarcasm and wit, if you have been known yourself to indulge in (or can tolerate) localized pretentiousness (i am a lit snob, for instance, and enjoy getting all puffed up and nerding out about that stuff), if your tastes are broad and varied, and if you can discuss an issue on which we may not agree, without closing your ears and just waiting for your next turn to talk.

I want to come home to, alternately:
a. find someone has ninja-cleaned my apartment in my absence
b. find everything exactly as i left it
a. find an amazing party is already underway
b. quiet, and a righteous nap
a. a person that sweeps me up, changes my shoes and takes me out
b. a pair of arms to coil around me, firm and warm.

i'm a spanish interpreter, which i love, love love. I am a writer, but no longer professionally. I consistently assault my liver, especially when we can pretend it's for a good cause (charity happy hour you say? delicious). I am learning french, which i am (arguably) over-excited about. For some reason, i always get conned into staying out way, way later than i ought to on wednesdays. i don't know what it is about wednesdays, but apparently i am unable to behave like a grown up past 430 in the middle of the week.

driving too fast. beating you at word games. spelling when drunk.

how desperately they need to be my buddies, like, yesterday. OR that i have tripped over soemthing in a slapstick, fantastic way, but am pretending it never happened, in a thin attempt to retain my dignity, and not burst out laughing myself.

far too many to here list.

...but since you asked, a sample:
Jitterbug Perfume, The Road, Everything is Illuminated, The Time Traveler's Wife (movie = terrible affront to a beautiful work), Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Jesus' Childhood Pal.

Across the Universe, Lars and the Real Girl, Casino Royale, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Empire Records.

Adele, Amy Winehouse, Boys Like Girls, Juanes, Carbon Leaf. (I love music, but am too lazy to find it. i am always excited to have my musical horizons broadened)

Sushi, Frozen yogurt, Tacos, Tapas, Thai. (etc, etc, etc.)

1. my fake tears ever since my LASIK surgery which is SO AWESOME. i highly recommend.
2. good friends to tell my stories to, who'll help me drink my
3. wine. (certified wino.)
4. sunshine (lived in syracuse ny for a while....never knew how much a girl who burns in 8 minutes could crave the sun)
5. books.
6. absurd, and therefore hilarios behavior

if i can wait another day to do the dishes before mold grows. the answer is almost always, "let's see"
