I like to have fun, and I tend to get rather silly at times. I'm a 32-year-old writer struggling to make a living in the often cruel, yet wondefully eccentric, wasteland known as Southern California. I enjoy doing far too many things to go into here...movies, music, eating out, buying books I never get around to reading, visiting swank LA bars, watching bizarre game shows on Telemundo, calling random people in Toledo and asking them if they remembered to floss....okay, maybe I'd better stop.

I want to meet someone who can answer all my questions about the little mysteries and inconsistencies you find in life. Someone who can tell me why so many people are willing to put an American flag sticker on their car, yet so few can be bothered to vote. Why the hatred that prompts teens to treat each other so horribly in high school isn't viewed as a problem, but sex between teenagers is. Why it always seems like
everyone in the world owns a cell phone except for the one person that's absolutely NEVER at home. Why no one recognizes Superman when he wears his glasses, yet everyone recognizes me when I wear mine. Why nearly everyone says they hate war, yet we can't seem to go ten years without having one. Why everyone I know in Hollywood isn't married, yet so many TV sitcoms are about family life. Why kids never fly kites anymore.

And if, as I expect, there isn't anyone out there with answers to these questions, then meeting someone else who wonders about them would be nice.
