About Me

I got a new bike! It's green and it has a basket! Don't you just want to pee with delight? Other than that, I love Wednesday: it's stand-up comedy night AND it's when the New York Times puts out its food section. I have a slight obsession with all things food: I love taco trucks and dim sum, and long giggly dinners. I think recycling is really important, and try not to be wasteful. I love sarcasm, silliness, being inspired by creative people -- and I'll forever be the crazy cat lady who doesn't have a cat. Meow.

My Interests

indie films * food (to eat, cook, read about, discuss) * music * house plants * beer * similes/metaphors * fishnets * board games * weekends in Chico * the excitement of a successful 1st time banter * yerba mate lattes * shopping in Berkeley * second-hand shopping in Seattle * singing in the car * coffee * traveling * Tapatio * Redwood forests/bare oak trees * rhyming * my incredibly soft pink scarf * foreign grocery stores * dress-up * wine weekends * reading * talking too loud * looking through photo albums

I'd like to meet:

Fun people who like to go out for breakfast in the afternoon and sit around for a long time after the plates are gone drinking coffee and laughing. People who like grilled cheese sandwiches, and make them for me, and know how to do foreign and make-believe accents really well. People who don't talk during movies. People who don't think sports and cars are the most important things in the world. People who enjoy sifting through second hand shops, stopping at garage sales, and those who'll consider adding a couple 'rine players to their band. People who like sushi and tell me when my hair is truthfully WAY too big. People who vibe. People with nice hands. People who like to write letters and long emails, and wanna challenge me to a game of Scrabble. People who want to buy me a Motorhome. People who know what gefilte fish is.
