I'm an energetic outgoing person who is looking for someone to banter with. I like the typical stuff: watching sports, movies, traveling, live music, the beach, and other things that almost everyone likes... but I have my own special spin on things. I'm looking for a girl with a few common interests and an interesting point of view.

After I finished grad school, I moved to Philly to further my career. After living in DC for 10 years it was a bit of an adjustment, but I've been here three years now and I've figured out how to have some fun. Moving into Center City really helped and I have a new appreciation of Philly now that I'm in the mix. The 5 minute walking commute also helps. I work for a little consulting company right around the corner and love it... at least when my clients aren't screwing it up with their whining "I need this, I need that. Ok shut-up you'll get it when it's ready!"

Being creative. Not in the cool way where I might paint something or play in a band and you'd think it was sexy, I'm a creative thinker. I'm also very observant, curious, and analytical which is makes me an interesting person to talk to, makes me good at my job, and can be annoying at times when you want something to go unnoticed. Together, it makes me good at Cranium. If you get anything from my profile at all, maybe that should be it: I'm really good at Cranium.

Update: I haven't played Cranium in awhile so I might not be good anymore, and then I'd have nothing. But I still deserve to be loved.

My mouth. Usually its running. Sometimes it forms a lovely smile that will melt your heart.

In the past year I've really become a movie aficionado, and I apparently think so highly of my own opinion that I will now present my favorites as awards:

Best Movie of 2010: 127 Hours
Best Movie of 2011: 50/50

I worked at a Vietnamese restaurant in undergrad and learned to love asian food. I think Chifa is my favorite local restaurant, and I could also eat pho pretty much any time of the day or night. Or a sub. Which isn't asian, I understand that I included no segue, but maybe I mean banh mi? You probably didn't think of that did you?!

I worked for a concert venue for awhile and learned to love all kinds of live music. Lately I've been listening to hip-hop, noise bands, and post-dubstep EDM. Don't worry I know you like something reasonable like Mumford or xx. You don't have to listen to Delta Heavy with me.

TV: I don't like Mad Men. I feel comfortable saying this only because this is relatively anonymous, and I don't have to fear violent retribution. I do however love Breaking Bad (did you catch "Bonfire" by Knife Party during the scene where Walt and Jr. buy new cars?) and Walking Dead. Game of Thrones is awesome and I'm only on this site because Emilia Clarke doesn't return my phone calls. Top Chef, Project Runway, Always Sunny, Dual Survival, and the Daily Show are other favorites.

* If we're talking about best scene, though, let's be mature about this and recognize that the Cabin in the Woods "Code Black" circular saw robot scorpion attack in the stairwell (oops SPOILERS) is the best movie moment of '12.

** I accept fast-moving virus-mad cannibals as acceptable in modern definition of the word zombie. The Constitution is constantly being reinterpreted, so why not the zombie horror subgenre?

what other people are thinking about. Seriously people wtf? Explain yourselves!

drinking alone. SO ALONE

I got so used to listening to certain podcasts (Adam Carolla Show, You Made It Weird, The Film Vault) that I will talk back to podcasters like they're my friends. I hope when this happens on the streets people assume I'm on the phone talking hands free.

I also own, and enjoy, the Dolph Lundgren opus Masters of the Universe. An old roommate caught me watching it with Director's Commentary one hungover morning and I'm not sure our friendship has ever been the same.

You're comfortable in your skin, you're interesting, you like meeting interesting people, you're hot and you want to make out, or any combination of the above.
