About Me:
my highs are high, my lows are low, and i fly through the in-betweens like a singer-songwriter with a new mandolin. i am not afraid to admit that i like drinks with umbrellas in them. i find about 70% of what i'm looking for. i am single-minded and obsessive and i am a reasonably good dancer. maybe i should have gone to law school.

Who I Want to Meet:
people who will recommend good books. people who will register for races with me. people who believe that scrabble is meant to be played with the owl and a chess clock. i'd like to meet a morning person. someone with an italian grandmother.

and confident brides I've ever had the
pleasure of witnessing walking down the
aisle. She's also the only one I've ever
known who improvised her vow, and got
some well-deserved laughs to boot.
Kieran rocks! :)
her, i can now also make mean hummus.
what more could i ask for in a sister?
she's great - i am even willing to
overlook her obsession with survivor
because she is one cool chick.
pausing in flight just long enough to
drink deep the nectar, then *ZIP-ZAP*
off to the next worthy activity.
easily among the top five good-food
fetishists with whom i am (happily)
acquainted. and talk about social
nexus: kieran convenes comraderie.
(couldn't let the catchy alliteration
go to waste. plus it's true,
especially in miami.)
fact, the fact that a majority of her
friends were on friendster before most
people I know (i.e., my friends) is a
testament of how hip her friends
really are (though she might deny it).
Also, she and I just had the bestest
most awesomest combined birthday party
ever!
ritual of reminiscing when I would
sleep over on a trundel bed next to her
princess twin. The fact that we only
had, at ritual's start, about 3 months
of experiences and inside jokes on
which to reflect didn't stop hours of
giggling. And we continued to giggle
for years together and then separately
divided by cruel geography. Ah... we
here ARE m.a.k....
person who talks faster than I do. This is a
very impressive feat...
to the worlds of bar trivia,
competitive scrabble, and dessert
parties. That's not the kind of guy I
want to be.
I've never lived within 50 miles of.
Oh, and she's what I'd call
a "breadie", a very specific type of
foodie. Kieran requires a minimum of
one loaf a day for regular maintenance.
around for a couple of hours (or less),
Kieran just might be my favorite.
