I'm looking for someone cool and easygoing like me who loves the city like I do, especially in the summer: street fests, outdoor dining, the beach...

I definitely aspire to travel more; so far, I've only been to Italy, with a little time in Barcelona and a stop in Paris. My musical taste is eclectic, ranging from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Arcade Fire to Keri Hilson and an almost embarrassing weakness for dance music. I typically feel very strongly about what I like and don't like when it comes to music, and I'm so happy to finally have Sirius XM in my car. I don't have a lot of things that I consider to be favorites, because there are so many great things out there, but one of my favorite movies is Amelie. The story is adorable and creative and the way the shots are filled with vibrant reds and greens is so beautiful. Two of my passions that I rarely find time for are reading and drawing/painting (figure, mostly). I have read all of Bret Easton Ellis's books, but couldn't tell you why I am attracted to his twisted writing. Chuck Klosterman is currently on my nightstand and I'm slowly getting through it. I rarely watch TV, but I was recently exposed to the Dexter 1st season dvds and can't wait to see season 2.

Although far from top chef-status, I have fun experimenting in the kitchen preparing healthy versions of meals and I also make it a priority to be active. When it comes to sports, I really have no interest, except I don't mind going to games once in a while. I'm open to sporty activities such as snowboarding (I've attempted a few times) and I'm eager to ski. I'm not so great at tennis, but I enjoy playing and I like that it gives you an excuse to dress up like Richie "the Bomber." : )
