Rumble in the speakers and it makes you want to rebel.

About Me

I'm addicted to music and can't function without it. I'm pretty easily amused, and I tend to infect people around me with laughter -- thankfully, I'm slightly less deadly than SARS. I'm not a morning person; my co-workers know I need coffee before I'm up to speed enough to engage in a conversation, and walls have also been known to move in front of me early in the AM. I need to be funny for my job (though I'm not a comedian), and I'm usually good at it, even in the off-hours. I've lived in Los Angeles for five years now, but I'm quite blatantly an East Coaster and had a Post-It note on my dashboard for my first three months out here that said "Ocean's on the LEFT." I'm prone to quoting movie lines, and I'm a bit of a pop-culture junkie (also needed for my job), but I can just as easily go all intellectual and discuss politics or temporal physics. I'm a repository of useless information, which comes in handy in conversation and when playing Trivial Pursuit or watching Jeopardy. I'm able to sing well -- I used to be in a couple of singing groups for fun, and my friends tell me I tend to sing when I've been drinking. I'm usually warm, which means I'm probably still in a t-shirt when it's 60 degrees outside. I'm definitely outspoken and never afraid to say or do what I'm thinking, which has made for some interesting conversations and stories. I love to drive, especially on the open road (which only seems to be between 11pm-4am here), and I don't need much of a reason to head out for a new adventure.

My Interests

Music, movies, assorted mayhem

A partner-in-crime. Someone who's fun, intelligent, creative, has a good (and slightly warped) sense of humor and is mature but can also be spontaneous and act like they're 7 years old.
