I live in East Van: a patio, plus sunshine and a good beer make for just about the perfect day. I love music, reading, playing boardgames, and making art... sometimes I will do all of these at once. You will be hard-pressed to beat me at Scrabble, Boggle or backgammon, so if you think you`re a champ then bring it on!

I love adventure- if your idea of a feat is going without your Starbucks for the day then I don`t think we`re a match. However, if you are into hiking, camping, road-trips and have stellar stories from traveling then awesome.

I have amazing friends, am vegetarian/vegan (but could care less if you enjoy chewing on a steak), queer- not an option on here, open-minded and diligently crass. I also have two dogs whom I adore. I love my job and actually enjoy going to work. I've lived-in/traveled through most of Canada and the US, Mexico, East and Southern Africa, Europe, Australia and a few other choice spots. I'm trying to learn the accordion and in the meantime can sing-along offbeat. My favorite nights are when a group of friends pick up various instruments and lead a sing along, really how can you beat that?

I get lost constantly and can never find my keys. I have an amazing ability to spill beer on folks. I laugh alot, and when I'm not laughing I'm likely giggling, or saying something rude.

I love folks who are witty, decently intelligent, don`t take life too seriously, can teach me new things and can make me laugh (not a very hard task). Someone whose interests extend beyond a couch and TV (but are welcome to include them!). On that note, I make alot of art, or atleast I aspire to, so creative folks of any type are fantastic in my books.

Music Taste: Great Lake Swimmers, Iron and Wine, Arcade Fire, Basia Bulat, Sufjan Stevens, Carolyn Mark, Geoff Berner, The Decemberist, Will Oldham, Neko Case, MGMT, Jose Gonzalez... essentially music and art are a huge part of my life.

Books: David Sedaris, stuff by Barbara Kingsolver, Lullabies for Little Criminals, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Inward to the Bones, The Power of One, One Hundred Years of Solitude. ..
