I am giddy, optimistic, and driven.

My Self-Summary

Dancer, writer, community organizer, entrepreneur, and news junkie, I graduated from Williams College, having majored in political science and women's and gender studies, and moved from New York City in late June. Learning the ins and outs of Portland is a slow process.

I live to read and write. I am a sucker for schmoopy romance stories, heroes, and books on American political development. Right now, I am re-discovering my teenage pubescence in Wuthering Heights.

I also took my first modeling job, which was sweet. I hung about for about five hours, mostly drinking coffee and eating bananas and pizza. For lounging about for most of the morning and early afternoon, I got a solid $100 check. This is the life.

I love my friends even more--they're my family.

I'm looking for another guy who is as open, caring, and energetic as I am.

What I’m doing with my life

Taking a life break after college graduation, seeing what's out there, living in a structureless environment. Occasionally, I think about preparing for graduate school or reading Wuthering Heights, but then, I put on True Blood and let the stereophonic sounds lull me into teenage-girl bliss.

Other than that, I'm trying to get foot in the political door. I do some community organizing stuff. I cannot wait for the gubernatorial elections, and sometimes wonder how ramped up Portland gets with its local elections. (This would be my first election cycle in the Pacific Northwest.)

I’m really good at

Oh, my secret talents.

The first things people usually notice about me

My smile or my laugh...because it's one of a kind.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books (Fiction): Neverwhere, Liquor, Thursday Next, Good Omens, Snow Crash, La Mandragola, Perdido Street Station, and Lost Souls.

Books (Non-fiction): One Market Under God, Witch Craze, Discipline and Punish, Gay New York, Why Americans Hate Politics, The Intellectuals and McCarthy, The Civilization of Renaissance Italy, and What's the Matter with Kansas?

Movies: The Departed, Angels in America, Sin City, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Stepmom, Grey Gardens, First Wives Club, and Nightmare before Christmas.

TV: West Wing, House, Pushing Daisies, True Blood

Music: Regina Spektor, Bat for Lashes, La Roux, Arcade Fire, The Pierces, Mirah, the Sweeney Todd Soundtrack, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Food: Korean BBQ, Brunchbox burgers, tuna melts (I have been making a lot of those recently. Unemployment is the leading cause of mercury poisoning.), greasy, molten hot kung pao, onigiri, sweet potato stew, and tortilla chips.

The six things I could never do without

1) My friends (they're my family)
2) Smiling
3) Nerd pride
...and then of course...
4) My laptop filled with books, CDs, and old pieces of writing
5) The Internets
6) Coffee

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Psychological make-ups. I think about why people do the things they do, what habits they have and why they develop them. I'm not quite sure where this habit stemmed from, ironically.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I have soft spots for wine and Buffy, and plan on taking long, luxuriant salt baths with wine, Imogen Heap, and my latest book every week.

Also, I went to yeshiva.
