Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I am a warm, smart, and funny brown-eyed girl looking for the same in a great guy (except for the eyes...they can be any color).

I'm the kind of girl that likes going to museums and hitting up dive bars afterwards. Very few things shock me (except the mundane--that shocks me often), and I am pretty willing to see things from different perspectives (as long as a creative, if not good, argument can be made). I really appreciate people with a strong sense of self, an appreciation for the absurd, and a perspective on life that encompasses these two qualities.

I'm a bit shy, but don't worry...by sheer necessity,I have adapted and can make decent conversation relatively seamlessly (although I keep getting better as you get to know me). There may be a few awkward moments, but hey, we're meeting online and life in general can be awkward.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

marketing director for an amazing non-profit

trying to figure out what to do with my life

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Making sense of things that make no sense to most people (if this makes sense to you--we are a perfect match!)

Engaging in good conversation. Particularly, I am a fantastic listener and ask amazing questions. But don't worry--I have no background in therapy, nor do I have any desire of being your therapist.

Being spontaneous. Caveat: I do not wish to endanger my life, so I can be spontaneous...but only within certain parameters.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

my height--I'm short--not debilitatingly so, but short enough to be in the category of "shorty"

charismatic--according to the experts, I may not be Dave Letterman, however, I won't kill you with boredom.

my laugh. Apparently is it selective, genuine, and contagious. Again, this is according to expert testimony. It is not embarrassingly loud--but it is loud enough to make people around want to join in on the fun.

full-figured...but in all the right places. yeah, baby

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Books: A Clockwork Orange, Interpreter of Maladies, The Vagabond, The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, Othello, Nine Stories, anything by Jose Saramago, Salman Rushdie, and Margaret Atwood, The Fountainhead, Heloise and Abelard, poetry by Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sound & The Fury (though I've read it three times and still need sparknotes to help me out a bit)

Movies: Igby Goes Down, The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Predjudice (A&E version lest I be considered a fool), The Importance of Being Ernest, Pink Panther (The original--not the one with Steve Martin), generally indie and arthouse. Def not horror--too much of a scaredy cat for that.

Music: Radiohead, Etta James, New Order, Johnny Cash, Madredeus, pre-American market Shakira. And, thanks to my mom, a deep fondness for the oldies and motown.

Food: Indian (just came back from India and now this is all I want!) and Italian

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

life could not be truly complete without...dark roast coffee, port wine, olive oil & garlic, incredible friends, quiet bars, and being buried underneath blankets when it's cold.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

-which country I am going to visit next

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

What is typical, really? Is not our quest in life to be more than just typical?

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I have a secret desire to dye my hair pink. I won't do it, but the inclination runs strong.
