I’m so glad OKCupid has a “Crazy Blind Date” option now, because that’s what this site needs. Something to make it ‘crazier’.

Anyways….
Ok, I swear I am a good writer, but I have trouble with these things. I write grants for a living, but can’t seem to write several succinct paragraphs describing myself in a witty, yet accurate way. Let’s just go with this for now:

- I'm a pragmatic romantic and a cynical optimist.
- I'm dexterous. Seriously, I just fixed the toilet.
- Going out to dinner is my favorite hobby.
-I have an unexplained fascination with maps.

I am the person who likes the black jelly beans best, who thinks Pinkerton is Weezer's best album, and who goes to Amsterdam for the museums.

Working, drinking, dining, reading, working out, traveling, etc etc. I really think I need to work on endeavors to change the world. When/ if that fails I’ll likely move to France and become a bartender.

Creating complicated number sentences to remember phone numbers. Untying knots, finding dive bars, and remembering the lyrics to 90's rap songs.

I have absolutely no idea.

A few of my favorite books:
- Big Girls Don't Cry: The Election that Changed Everything for American Women
- Breach of Faith: Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City
- The Hunger Games
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- The Time Traveler's Wife
- Atlas Shrugged (Just kidding, you guys)
- Half the Sky

Favorite movies:
Ok, I watch a lot of movies. Rarely are they crazy Hollywood movies with things blowing up and such, they are almost always random independent films. Sometimes I watch teen movies. Sometimes I watch romantic comedies when I am cranky. There, I said it.

Shows:
- My So Called Life
- Freaks and Geeks
- Parks and Recs
- Six Feet Under
-30 Rock (anytime anyone says juror, all I can think of is The Rural Juror)

Music:
- Neutral Milk Hotel (sigh)
- Mountain Goats
- Old school punk - nofx, propagandhi
-The Weakerthans
- Regina Spektor
- The Thermals
Really I like a lot of music, these are just the few I can think of right now. I'll go to pretty much any show friends invite me to.

1. Family (which includes my cat, Cougar who is adorable but a total ass hole. If he were a person, he would be your friend who constantly played practical jokes on everyone.)
2. Friends
3. Public radio
4. Books
5. Wine
6. Movies

Songs from the 90's I may have forgotten, escape plans for dire situations (worst case scenario guide has come in handy), if my cat is bored and what I should be doing about that, the story of Alive, what other people might be thinking about. How disappointed I am that I initially misused semicolons in this section.

either drinking wine at home watching some weird indie movie or out with friends trying new bars and new beers.

OKAY. But before I tell you this next thing, I want you to look back through this profile and find one thing you like/ respect, and keep that in your mind. I recently paid to download that Carly Rae Jepson- 'Call Me Maybe' song. Whatever! It's good for working out!

- you can get me free 90s music
- if you know any jokes. I know about 4, I feel I could use more
- you are a feminist
- you can teach me how to play the piano
- you are super tall. I am on the short side and always thing the tall/ short pairing is hilarious. I.e. Someday I hope to own a great dane.
