About Me:
I'm always trying to be funny, just not NPR funny. I'm always trying to be sincere, but not soap opera sincere. When I'm feeling upbeat, I'm in search of a good time and a good sense of humor. I'm a big fan of movies and my interest in theater is growing. I move back and forth between glee over my work or some current movie, despair over the current political climate in the US, and retail therapy. Also, I like my family. Finally, I am moving to Long Beach in the summer.

Who I Want to Meet:
Someone who's cute, self-confident, but entirely goofy. Someone who really listens to what I say but also recognizes how most of it is entirely preposterous. Also Ewan McGregor, Marcel Proust, Iris Murdoch, George Michael Bluth, the entire cast of _Nine to Five_, and Pedro Almodovar. A real brontosaurus. The inventor of "paneer poppers."

(I can't believe that I referenced Lovecraftian chants in your testimonial Neil. Geesh! That was a reference for two nerds out there. Why don't I reference Frank Belknap Long and Seabury Quinn while I'm at it? Arthur Machen? Novel of the White Powder? Am I alone in this? What the hell am I doing?)
Neil is a great guy who will brave drunken football hooligans to see an independent film.

seeds you've disseminated from the uva of the
east coast has been hacking away out midwest
and is hot on the ivory tower trail you've blazed
for me. Thanks Neil.
