My Interests

reading (i get all giddy when i think about book clubs).cooking and baking!music - i always need a soundtrack to my life playing in the back and/or foreground.movies - netflix rocks. i just may wanna marry it.clubs - it's a great way to indulge my (inner? outer?) nerd and hang with other like-minded peeps.animal friends - my own little menagerie and an unstoppable urge to pet every animal i see.sustainable agriculture & healthy livin'.proselytizing.there's lots more stuff that i'm interested in, but that's a good "what i like 101".

I'd like to meet:

Peeps who enjoy a rousing game of euchre or scrabble (or, let's be honest here, pretty much any board or card game). Peeps who enjoy eating, reading about and discussing food. Peeps who are generally up for doing whatever I propose--especially at the last minute. Peeps who read like they're trying to bring up the national average of Americans reading for pleasure (see: NEA annual literacy report). Peeps who like to brunch (the finest meal of the week).Also, if my gal is reading, get ready, 'cause:
