Yes, I am from the South. Not the deep-fried South, but well below the Mason-Dixon. Many (but not all) of the stereotypes NYers have also apply to me: outgoing, slower-walking, slower-talking, please and thank you-saying, etc. If you are expecting a deep drawl, though, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

I have a few stamps in my passport, but the greatest culture shock came when I held the door for a NYer and she snarled at me, "I can get it myself." I had become an unwitting agent of the patriarchal oppression machine.

It didn't let it get me down, though, and have been impressed with how nice NYers can be under their tempura-battered exterior. I see OKC as just another avenue for me to meet new people, share some adventures, and possibly meet someone special who won't object too vigorously when I hold the door for her.

I started a new position as night custodian at a small, but growing marketing company in the city. It's been an incredible experience cleaning the refrigerators, vacuuming floors, shredding documents, etc. The hours are flexible and I even get to choose the fragrance of hand sanitizer to put in the bathrooms. The job isn't all just polishing knobs, though. I also have to do grunt work like running the sales, finance, operations, and human resources departments. And the party planning committee.

I'm also an avid kickboxer in the rich tradition of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Only in less slow-motion. But with more glitter. And louder yelling. But less cocaine.

L'esprit de l'escalier.

My hair. Feathered and beautiful.

I love books on evolutionary psychology - The Selfish Gene, The Red Queen, Darwin's Dangerous Game, etc. You think evo psych is just a bunch of pseudo-intellectual mumbo-jumo? That's ok...I knew you were going to say that.

I won't bore you with a film list (in which I would surely prove my impeccable taste), but if you prefer to interpret Ferris' Bueller's Day Off as if the whole thing were just imagined by a suicidal Cameron, I'm pretty sure we are soul mates.

The last thing the internet needs is another "my favorite TV shows" list, so how about a "favorite TV show QUOTES" list? (and let's make it fun -- if you get them all, you can ask me any one question to which I promise to answer truthfully):

★"Omar coming!"
★"I've made a huge mistake."
★"Good news, everyone!"
★"I'll be in my bunk."
★"That's what she said!"
★"It’s there always, this Dark Passenger."

My taste in music stinks and I don't care.

Food is the reason to live NYC. I eat anything and everything. Horse? Been there. Whale? Done that. The seminal vesicles of a fish? Ok, that was gross. They should really feed those fish pineapple.

★ Suede-bottomed shoes
★ The perfect Manhattan
★ Witty reparte
★ My chucks
★ Hot Fuss
★ Sriracha

Um...are you going to finish that?

Working hard to effect societal change and improve multicultural understanding through disproving the notion that white people can't dance.

I had a job once where women paid money to spend time with me.

You only have Myspace-angle photos -- I love the suspense.

Or if you listed things like "food, water, oxygen, shelter, immune system, atmospheric pressure of 1, etc." for your Things You Could Never Do Without. Delight me with your literal interpretation of the world!

Or finally, if you enjoyed the advent-calendar-esque adventure of exploring my profile/questions and think it would be fun getting to know each other.
