Flannel sheets, pocky, fresh iced tea, snuggles, eye contact, knowing glances, being silly to cheesy happy music, pleasant surprises, when the orchestra swells, overstuffed chairs, slow and passionate, kissing in a downpour, all the beauty in the world, girl-watching with girls, free music, a clever turn-of-phrase, finding the perfect song to embody the moment, taking it to the next level, hearing from old friends who knew you "before", hazelnut anything, testing out recipies, pad se ew, half-asian people, those who ask for what they want, movies about New York, spring nights, fall mornings, Haagen Dazs Coffee Ice Cream, cool showers in the summer, quiet moments, a girl in one of my shirts and nothing else, naps, bad-breath wake-up kisses, comfortable silences, eyecandy, walking home after a date with that silly grin on your face, air drumming to that one part in "In The Air Tonight", getting people hooked on new music, still finding things to put on this list.
Here's what I'm talking about on my blog:
I'd like to meet:
In anyone: I'm looking to fill my life with warm, open, kind and curious folk with an interest in rapid-fire dialogue filled with references from across the cultural spectrum. You know, like Sorkin when he's not so self-aggrandizing.
In a "let's be friends and maybe more" kind of way: Someone who feels like Empire Records, smiles like a girl in a Cameron Crowe movie and kisses like Sigur Rós. Or at least someone who knows what that means. Someone who gets that sometimes one needs to be superfluously sesquipedalian. Someone who is complex but not complicated. Someone who got my headline quote without having to look it up. Someone who I can tell where I hid the bodies.
I'm powerless over girls in black tanktops and Lisa Loeb glasses. Seriously, it is my Kryptonite.
ANY BANDS CONTACTING ME FOR ANY REASON THAT AREN'T ALREADY ON MY LIST WILL BE FLAGGED AS SPAM.
Thank you. :)
I'm on all the regular chat clients as SoftLord, so feel free to drop me a line and interrupt my work day...no, really!
Fake is stupid. Honest, flawed and real is infinitely more interesting.
Oh also, any of the gorgeous women who ride the N/W train into the city in the morning should send me a note right now so I can express my gratitude for making the commute infinitely more bearable.
