Um... just the basics I guess: Private chef, surfer, snowboarder, well traveled, well edumacated, athletic but feminine, nice and not crazy...

Lived seasonally between California and Vail for 7 years but now I'm in SF full-time. Originally from the East coast (Newton, MA) - got my degree in journalism in Pittsburgh (Carnegie Mellon) and worked at fashion magazines in NYC for a while (yuck). I switched careers and went to culinary school in NYC, and moved West shortly after to cook in restaurants. Now I work as a private chef for a family and a start-up, and I also teach cooking.

Cooking, and chopping things really fast - I don't cook at home too often though... sorry.
I've put a lot of time in on my snowboard, so I'm pretty good at riding it around, but I'm way more focused on surfing these days - try to get in the water at least 3 or 4 days per week.
Traveling, word games, spelling, remembering jokes.
This question begs for bragging, so:

I'm really bad at
Rolling my r's (and every time I say that people respond "oh like burrrrrrrrrrito")
Accents, except for a Boston one (I'm wicked good at that).
Guitar - but I'm just learning so maybe not for long.

That I'm not fatter in person?

The Royal Tennenbaums, The Shining, Ghandi, a lot more. Love walking over to the Roxie to see whatever. Mad Men like everyone else, 30 Rock, Top Chef, Portlandia.

I have a new favorite band every week, and see a lot of live music. Listen to indie rock, some electronica (dubstep, old d' n' b), hip hop like Jay Z and Kid Cudi, electro-pop like Starfckr, Empire of the Sun. Stand-bys include Pixies, old Modest Mouse, etc. I don't think music is all that important for compatibility though.

Get most of my news from NPR, BBC World, New York Times online, and Jon Stewart.

Books: Read lots of cookbooks, Food Arts magazine, Surfer's Journal, White Tiger, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, What is the What, Glass Castle, The Egg and I, recently reread Steinbeck and he is the best. Currently reading Guns, Germs and Steel - amazing. My mom is a writer so I'm from a very literary family - should probably read more...

Food - Anything but processed food. Food is obviously a huge part of my life.

Family and friends don't count because they're obviously first. But:
Giggling
Exercise
Sun
I could do without most material things, but I couldn't work without my knife. I'd also really miss my surfboard and my bike, and some finer things in life.
Nature, city, mountains, ocean.
Going out for food or drinks or whatever - socializing, I guess.
I really love yoga too but I'm not about to post a picture of myself in warrior 2 on the top of a mountain. Who does yoga after hiking a mountain? Aren't you tired?

How the older I get the more I realize I know nothing about anything.

Working. But after, in the winter, maybe driving to Tahoe listening to This American Life or Radio Lab. Or getting drinks with friends, going to a gallery opening, dancing, or watching a movie. I'm pretty much down to do anything, and I love being with people who feel the same.

This question is redonkulous.

You are reliable and thoughtful. You are physically and mentally healthy. You're smart. You're hilarious. You think we might have some things in common. You're good at things I'm not, like math, or fixing things or left brain stuff, maybe? You love the ocean. You're taller than me and not more than 8 years older or younger than me. You're not a socially awkward weirdo. You're deep, but not dark. You make enough money that you can go out to eat and travel and do things. You are not a douche-b.
