I am cute and smart and curious and happy. I am also awkward and sort of dorky. So who knows.
I like lists, board games, Peroni, pretzel goldfish, Paul Fussell, Philip Larkin, gloriously over the top pre-Untouchables brian de palma, those little British "_______: A Very Short Introduction" books, the New Beverly, the east side, most brown liquors, gourds & squashes, turtles, dancing out my frustrations in an abandoned barn, and Charles Grodin.
I dislike crowds, slow drivers, and non-dairy creamer.
My Ideal Person:
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I tend to get along best with guys who are movie geeks, have a strong sense of irony, notice odd little details, and really like words and language and articulating things. (I also tend to like verbose drinkers with emotional problems, but that’s neither here nor there.) I like people, in general, who balance abiding enthusiasm / optimism with enough mild neuroses foibles vices cynicism (or at least, tolerance therefor) to keep things interesting. I like adventurous eaters & cooks (but not food snobs).
I think that in a way, a relationship is basically a conversation – literally, one ongoing conversation with a lot of tangents, and various interruptions. Having that as your framework for looking at & experiencing the world, when it’s a good one, is the best.
Mostly I would just like to go on some random dates with like-minded strangers. So holler if you’re like-minded.
The last great book I read I feel a little lowbrow naming a book I first read in 8th grade but I just revisited “Carrie” – purchased in an airport, read in a day – and what can I say. Literary, no. Great book yes! Now I am reading "Status Anxiety" by alain de botton which feels scarily spot-on... we are a weird species.
The celebrity I resemble the most Sometimes people say the actress who played Corky the retarded guy's sister on Life Goes On (that is always exactly how it is worded).
