About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life goal: To travel and advance my career

ABOUT ME

i LIKE: new friends, laughing, ducking (not jumping), making out, sunshine, not getting parking tickets, the lake, reckless dancing, my waterproof cell phone, good books, ari gold, a made bed, cooking for more than one, sordid details, doing dishes, the sound running, new winter jackets, having a sense of humor that i can only share with other horrendous human beings, weekends in boston or ny, evenings "in", 518, 406, random phone calls, presents, surprises, wine, casual beers, comedy clubs, new shoes, brocolli, diet mountain dew, smiling at people who smile back

I DISLIKE: waiting, people who are rude to waitresses, poor grammar, love handles, old sneakers, excessively loud burping (snarfing=fine), bare feet in public.. (or anywhere, actually), stressing out about work, having less than 8 hours of sleep ever, my landlord -who deserves to be covered in something gross and shot, expired passports and visas, forgetting to press start on the dryer, and zigging when i should zag.

I am originally from New York and am fond of people who like the geographic locations of New York, San Francisco, Montana, Colorado, Santa Cruz, Portland, Seattle, Beijing, Shanghai, Borneo, Brunei, Bandar, Sarawak, Malaysia, Bangkok, Tangshan, or anywhere that an ocean touches the coast.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here:
I am afraid to touch elevator buttons because they are dirty.
