About Me

In 100 words or less, I'm a twentysomething native Brooklynite writer who works in the publishing industry to get a paycheck. I have amazing friends and varied interests that usually fill my hours without effort.

My Interests

Writing, New York City, Art, Literature, Letters, Libraries, Architecture, the New York Yankees, Television bad and good, the blogosphere, the beach, sarcasm, nicemodernism, restaurants, contradictions, travel.

I'd like to meet:

Do you like good stories, but don't care where they come from? Do you look for the beautiful things in the world (even though you understand they sometimes come with the bad things)? Do we share interests? Do you like trying new things, having adventures, and experiencing life as it unfolds?Do you understand that proper grammar and spelling makes you more interesting to talk to, and not less?If so, I'd like to meet you.
