this could be nothing, but i'm willing to give it a try...

About Me

Neither a crusading counterculturalist nor a staid bourgeois. I'm the jock, the brain, the criminal, the princess and the kook. I like to eat raspberry yogurt with Lucky Charms in it while listening to old motown records and reading In Touch - embarrassing - yes - necessary - yes. I could read Newsweek, but Mary Kate and Ashley aren't on the cover. Kidding...kind of. Now I know I can be faithful; I can be your all and all; And give you good lovin' through the summertime, winter, spring and fall. And when I die, I want my episode of E! True Hollywood Story to air in primetime, and it best be rated TV-MA. Current obsessions include: Lorelai, the return of Davenport, everything and everyone from Sweden (Saab, Jonas Bjorkman, The Sounds), red sharpies, the Troubadour weekly, swingsets, honeysuckle bushes, hitsdailydouble.com, southern accents, Febreeze, black beans on everything, dreams of becoming a synth pop star, Vampire Weekend, wanting another dog (one that can eat a purse, not ride in one), Steve Nash, marimekko, making myself paranoid by watching CNN (shark attack stories terrify/fascinate me), invite-only office cocktail/dance parties and green. Oh and don't call me between 3 and 4AM on weeknights because I'll be watching Roseanne; season 2 is on and I can't afford to miss it (for the 79th time). And I want to move to Stars Hollow and jump in piles of leaves and consume warm beverages with Sookie, Luke and Rory. I'm not kidding. Applications are being accepted.

My Interests

selective breeding, my dodgeball team (ball my children), contempt for the conservative middle class, tennis, percussion, innocuous pleasantries, kyan, ostentatious minimalism, dogs, redesign, countless magazine subscriptions, mix cds, scruff, covert parochial subversion, architecture, saab, flip flops, steve nash, running, all things chai, denim, amoeba, the troubadour, project runway marathons, black beans, over-sized headphones, off-shore accounts, hot glue guns, reformed debutantes, negra modelo, spontaneous road-trips, the outer banks, classic motown, the arclight, dusk, offensive humor, marcia cross, ridiculously sappy stories about olympians, hoodies, the electric slide, guacamole, breaking news, mechanical bulls, action figures, brand loyalty.

I'd like to meet:

self-conscious, honest, brilliant, sarcastic dorks with killer smiles. people that never type: "holla" or "thanx". please: sing in the car with the windows down, shower often, ride rollercoasters, play the cow bell, dream big, pretend to come from old money, like to be close yet enjoy space, play scattergories, know your current events, read for pleasure, love sand between your toes, and be: funny, silly at times, serious at others, genuine, and a good friend. nerds and celebutantes are encouraged to contact me. oh, and beautiful people who hate beautiful people, spontaneous romantics who smell good, east-coast transplants who miss the seasons, bespectacled creatives with a love of horror, a teammate for the next season of "the amazing race," trust fund babies who are looking to share, someone to slow dance with to sam cooke's "bring it on home to me," perhaps a partner in crime, a luke to my bo duke.
