I am sarcastic, hopeful, and yet realistic.

My Self-Summary

humor is very important to me, but i know when to be serious (oh if i MUST). i enjoy traveling, going to concerts/shows, reading in the park, hanging out in coffee shops, watching movies, drinking in the pub with friends, meeting new people, enjoying the outdoors.

i've lived in a few places, including europe and new jersey (you get to choose which one to envy). after moving around a few times, i've purposefully chosen portland as the place i want to live for awhile. like many in this city, though, i originally hail from the middle of the country.

What I’m doing with my life

loving portland, working for a software company, trying to enjoy time off work as much as possible, avoiding capital letters, traveling whenever i can, kinda putting down roots.

I’m really good at

tetris (i was the glen avenue champion in the 90s). maybe some other things, too, but they really pale in significance.

The first things people usually notice about me

that i'm a pretty good story teller.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

ahhhh, my favorite topics.

music: radiohead, ray lamontagne, over the rhine, blind pilot, bon iver, elliott smith, andrew bird, ben harper, jeff buckley, damien rice, patty griffin, the shins, band of horses...

books: the time traveler's wife, the road, the poisonwood bible, she's come undone, twilight, atlas shrugged, a prayer for owen meany, the perks of being a wallflower, a separate peace, needful things, a year in the merde, me talk pretty one day, the kite runner...

movies: amelie, eternal sunshine of a spotless mind, garden state, almost famous, grosse pointe blank, the lost boys, shawn of the dead, sliding doors, kill bill volume 2, the matrix, american beauty, fight club, dead poets society, star wars, memento, edward scissorhands, pleasantville, office space, pride and prejudice, best in show, the royal tenebaums...

food: anything good. favorite dish ever is les oeuf en meurette

The six things I could never do without

my friends
humor
breakfast sandwiches
ipod
passport
logic

I spend a lot of time thinking about

boys. tee hee.

On a typical Friday night I am

with friends, detoxing from work.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

i love organizers, shelving, bags with pockets, cubby holes, etc. i love putting my things in said organizers. but once i take the things out...i /hate/ putting them back in.

You should message me if

you can make me laugh. if you like seeing live music, slow-dancing at dusk to otis redding, taking weekend afternoon naps and playing criss-cross applesauce.

*update* - urban dictionary has no idea what criss-cross applesauce is. gross.
