Some random facts:

- Puns fall out of my mouth without my realizing it, which can be amusing, embarrassing, or both.

- Eddie Izzard's "French Lessons" makes me fall over laughing, no matter how many times I've seen it. "Sports Night" and old screwball comedies make me grin. (I have a little of the "wiseass gene" myself.)

- My favorite piece of art is Noguchi's "Water Stone" because of its contradictions (ask me if you're curious).

- I know how to use my brain, but I'm not all in my head. In fact, I find my gut is a more reliable way to filter information.

- I like the way spicy food makes my mouth go ping-ping-ping.

- I love the grace and balance that come from practicing yoga and tai chi.

- I'm a beginner at salsa (with a good sense of rhythm) and would love to find a man to dance with. And/or one who'd teach me to ride a bike. (Isn't it embarrassing that I don't know how?)

- I can assemble a complicated IKEA drawer unit, but I'd be charmed if you did it for me ... as I would be if you held the door for me or helped me on with my coat. Chivalry is sexy!


About you:

You're curious. You love the feeling of immersing yourself in something but are balanced enough to take breaks. You believe that being sophisticated and playful is not a contradiction in terms. You've learned that really knowing someone takes time, and that the discovery is half the fun. You're thinking, "I'm intrigued. Maybe I'll write her an email." Please do; I'll be happy to hear from you!

Something low-key, like a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. At worst, we have a pleasant time and go our separate ways. Or if the Dating Gods are kind, we make each other laugh, we have spark and we can't wait to plan Date #2.
