I am a thinker. I love to bounce ideas off of people, even if we don't agree. Nothing gets me more excited than a man with a big brain. I love to laugh and have large and crazy, (or small and dorky), adventures. I am also a collector of hobbies. I get really excited about something, learn how to do it, get bored, and usually move on. I'm not afraid of commitment..there's just so much I want to experience!
I am kind and sensitive, but quick-witted and prone to sarcasm..usually self-directed.

I am very athletic. I'm a Rat City Roller Girl.

I try to keep a positive attitude but I do get angry about people who treat the Earth and its contents like it's disposable. I also think racism and intentional ignorance are truly ugly things. Hearing about animal abuse makes me cry.

I love having good conversations that last until early morning, watching movies, reading books, cooking, drinking beer or wine, camping (not great at it, but I like the sleeping in the tent part), and spending time with friends. I also love to meet new people and do things I've never done before. Overall, I'm pretty extroverted, but can be quite a loner, as well. I have no issues with amusing myself for hours at a time.

Trying to gain more knowledge about life, in general. Experiencing as many different tastes, sites, sounds, feelings, etc, as possible. Working in Development for a theatre. Learning samba. Raising a very strong-willed cat.

Thinking too much, being a clown, getting off on the wrong foot, cooking, taking risks, and making the best of things.

My laugh.

I am a pretty voracious reader, so it's hard to choose, but the ones I read more than once are "Wuthering Heights" (I'm a bit of a romantic),
"To Kill a Mockingbird", "Lolita"(The story is creepy but Nabakov's prose are amazing), and anything Dostoevsky. I absolutely loved Hesse's "Narcisuss and Goldman". I also love poetry that's visceral.

I mostly like series tv. I loved Battlestar Galactica, Californication, Deadwood, Big Love, and Carnival. Arrested Development kills me! I haven't had tv in about a year now, though, so I'm a bit behind. I still watch movies. I like Boon Dock Saints, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine.., Barton Fink, Amorres Peros, Closer, and Grosse Pointe Blank, and pretty much any good documentary or independent/foreign film. Ok, I also still watch The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Princess Bride because they stilll make me happy.

Hard to name all my music favorites. Off the bat: Morcheeba, Portishead, Ting Tings, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone, Cold War Kids, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Massive Attack, Nick Cave, and Billy Holiday. My taste is very eclectic. I like pretty much anything besides acid jazz and country.

I don't know that I have a favorite food..I love so many different things. I guess pad-thai. I wish Americans had more daily traditions related to food. I think I should have been raised in Europe. I could sit at the dinner table for hours, having conversation with the people I have surrounded myself with.

I could never do without my friends, words (written or spoken), ideas, animals/pets, music, and levity.

What I want to try to do next. And, ok..sex.

I am probably with a friend cooking and drinking wine, out having drinks with a group of friends, or staying in by myself reading a book. It depends on how motivated I am by the end of the week.

I'm ticklish.

You don't mind a girl who's smart and sexy but a bit of a spaz sometimes.
