Writing, reading, rocking out, running, movies, bowling, being incessantly sarcastic, shocking people, unsuccessfully avoiding Mexican food and analyzing EVERYTHING.
I'd like to meet:
Intelligent people who can laugh at themselves (and me when necessary). Witty banter, dorkiness and an undying love for ice cream would also be greatly appreciated. If you like reading and know esoteric vocab, you've already got a leg up on the competition. And a leg up is good, right?!

Rush, Iron Maiden, Journey, Buckcherry, Styx, Skid Row, The Shins, Evan McHugh, Amos Lee, Damien Rice, Augustana, DMB, Jump Little Children, Blue Merle, The Fray, Keane, Pearl Jam, Sister Hazel, The Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, Snow Patrol, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band and Ryker Jones is a must.
Movies:
Italian cinema (especially Neo-Realism), Life is Beautiful, Happiness, Les Choristes, Spanglish, The Life Aquatic, Dodgeball, Starsky and Hutch, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Big Fish, Under the Tuscan Sun, Harry Potter, Pieces of April, The Shawshank Redemption, Road to Perdition, Secondhand Lions, and porn in general.
Television:
Six Feet Under, Dead Like Me, Sopranos, Everybody Loves Raymond, Freaks and Geeks, Nip/Tuck and my all-time personal favorite...THE GOLDEN GIRLS!
Books:
The Fountainhead, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Romola, Victorian literature, Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Dante Club, Catcher and the Rye, Harry Potter Series, Lamb & all of Christopher Moore's other hilarious books, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Pinocchio (the original in Italian, not the sugar-coated Disney one), The Italian, The Monk, Dracula.
