About Me

FT Technology. That's my job. I'm nerdier than I look. And than I'd like to admit.
Speaking of, I love gadgets! Oh, but I hate technology.
Sassy. Snarky. Sarcastic. Blunt.
Positive. Honest. Wide-eyed. Realistic.
I'm kind of a Good Girl. A really Good Girl. Borderline boring.
Meticulous.
I'm quiet because I'm watching you and storing your every move... for future reference.
When you talk, I listen.
"Lesson learned."
Very supportive.
Incredibly low-maintenance.
Guy's girl. But secretly very girly.
Shopaholic and self-proclaimed style junkie.
Persnickety. I'm as snobby as I look, no lie.
BUT! I'm genuinely caring. ...For those I care for.
Super expressive face.
Always laughing. Easily amused. Easily distracted. Love novelty.
Alcohol-induced Jekyll & Hyde personalities: Shy and standoffish. Friendly and talkative.
I believe in karma. I believe that people will treat you only as badly as you'll let them. I believe that everything has an end.
I love the written word, photography, museums, clothes (shoes/bikinis/coats), humble people, sleepovers, Elmo, the 3rd cup of coffee, smooth lane changes, cuddling and spooning, Moleskines, art, vacations, San Francisco and New York City, white sand beaches, food from a truck, music that makes you feel something, open air, holding hands, This American Life, Disneyland, manicures and pedicures, boys in scarves and cardigans, Saturday morning DVR marathons, Swedish massages, boots, quoting TV and movies.
I hate lies and people who tell them, when there's no half and half in the fridge at work, Thursdays (except for The Office), non-waterproof mascara, commercials that ruin awesome songs, newscasters who don't blink, when old people/stuff comes out of the woodwork, feeling sleepy at 10:00pm, anonymous calls, traffic when you're late, a lack of common sense, stupid girl behavior, selfish boy behavior, when you make one typo in your code and it goes all awry, shoes that hurt my feet.

Hi. :)

My Interests

The great outdoors. The great indoors. Learning photography. Metropolitan cities. Polaroid transfers. My real friends-- and learning all there is to know about them. Social commentary in the form of art. iTunes. Almost all food. Acclaimed restaurants. Mom n Pop restaurants. Learning to snowboard, maybe? Trader Joe's. Books. Blogs. Lists. Thinking of new hobbies to take up, and then forgetting them. Tattoos. Target. Climbing trees. Movies. Free movies. Hiking. Traveling. Reunions. Real Conversations - not small talk. Disneyland. Airports. Things that make me laugh. Sunsets because they're different everyday. Naps in the sun. Laziness. My mom. Musical theater.

I'd like to meet:



View All of My Friends

Music:

I have, simultaneously, very good and very bad taste in music. I do not care to elaborate at this time.

Movies:

I don't see enough of these. I think you should take me to a couple. By the way, I alphabetize my DVDs. Don't judge me.

Some of my favorites...
Little Miss Sunshine. Forrest Gump. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Garden State. Moulin Rouge. Love Actually. Office Space. Knocked Up. The Princess Bride. When Harry Met Sally. Swingers. Stranger than Fiction. Big Fish. Little Manhattan. Memento. A River Runs Through It. Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Prime. Napoleon Dynamite. The Goonies. The Sandlot. Waitress.

Television:

The Office. LOST. Heroes. Grey's Anatomy. 30 Rock. Entourage. Project Runway. Pushing Daisies.

Friends. Sex and the City. The Wonder Years. Dawson's Creek. Top Chef.

The Hills. Gossip Girl. A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. Yeah... I admit it.

Books:

I don't read as much as I wish I could.

My all-time favorites are The Little Prince by Antione de Saint-Exupery, Life of Pi by Yann Martel, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, and Harry Potter. I recommend you read all of them, and then we'll have so much to discuss!

Heroes:

GO, BITCH!
