I'd like to meet:
i'd like to meet someone who can make me laugh out loud, someone who's not rude to busboys or cab drivers, someone who doesn't spend hours in the bathroom preening, someone who respects that writing is exactly what i want to do with my life, and someone who doesn't mind that i sometimes alter menu items and i secretly hoarde hot pink cashmere socks. someone who's willing to share a cupcake. someone who READS.
