Me:
I'm incredibly down to earth and easy going. I don't have the patience for drama in my life, leave that to reality TV! My friends mean the world to me, I'd do anything for them. They have my heart and loyalty for life and they know it. I like to surround myself with those who accept me for who I am and still love me anyway. :) I always remember birthdays. I love doing small things to brighten someone's day, let it be a sending a text, mailing a card, or baking their favorite treat. I feel bad if I'm forced to kill an insect (even a roach and they scare the hell out of me!). I'm generous and kind (I'll even share my favorite dessert with you!). I'm a great listener and love having those random nonstop conversations where one subject rolls into another and pretty soon we're discussing how we both loved watching the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon when we were kids.

I'm an 8-5'er and I typically hit the gym after work or sometimes just go straight home for a night of relaxation. I do look forward to my weekends and spend part of the time just being with me and the other part being social. Some of my favorite things: Seeing my friends and having those "laugh until you can't breathe" moments. I love Christmas; I enjoy sending out cards, decorating my tree, and sporting Santa hats with friends while driving around looking at lights. Finding a great song that will pump me up while sweating it out at the gym. Buying summer fruit at the Farmer's Market after my favorite spin class. Afternoon naps. Catching up on my favorite shows (Burn Notice, Bones, Community). Reading fun fiction. Baking cookies, brownies, and pumpkin bread. Finding great restaurants that won't break my bank. I don't constantly have to be on the go, in fact that would probably exhaust me!

You:
Your blackberry doesn't own you. You can turn your mind off of business while you're out having fun. You make me laugh with your witty/snarky statements. You are comfortable in both hole in the wall dives and 5 star restaurants (but gravitate towards those dives). Staying in and watching a movie or going to fun LA events both appeal to you. You love weekend trips (Being silly at Harrah's dueling piano bar in Vegas, exploring Santa Barbara/San Luis Obispo). You have a wide range of friends and can get along with just about anyone. You don’t think I’m crazy because I believe that TiVo and iPod are the best inventions ever. You find my "attention to detail" trait endearing yet tease me when I insist on using TripAdvisor. You enjoy staying fit either in or out of the gym. You don't have to be a serious athlete (god knows I'm not!) and while you may enjoy the comfort foods you also like being healthy. You're patient, understanding, caring and you don't put up with those who take advantage of those qualities or don't have it in themselves.

On a nice day it would be nice to do something outdoors, walking around in a neat area, unique neighborhood/shops, walking along the beach, etc. Nothing fancy needed, just a nice environment to get to know each other. The perfect first date would be having a great non-stop conversation discovering random tidbits about each other.
