i'm a writer and also co-founded a company dedicated to getting kids involved in community service through music. they volunteer for 4 hours and in return, get a ticket to a concert that we produce.
a few other details about me --
i love film - chaplin, godard, billy wilder or tom tykwer - just as long as it's original. same goes for theater. really, i'm interested in everything - from poetry to politics, philosophy to philanthropy, art to astrophysics. when i was little, the thought of doing only one job for the rest of my life was as impossible to imagine as the fact that i'd someday grow old. i try to maintain that sense of wonder about the world but it's tempered these days by a heavy dose of cynicism (which makes it critical to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing). i love wine. i love to cook. i know the difference between it's and its (but don't feel the need to prove it). i'm usually willing to give people a second chance. i'm a firm believer that there's no better feeling than that little frisson you get from meeting someone you just click with.
My Ideal Person:
"I've stopped answering hypothetical questions..."
ok, fine - things i appreciate in a woman: someone who's not TOO high maintenance (but i am realistic). i think that attraction is physical but it's also mental. intelligence is key (but you knew that...). i tend to prefer a dark sense of humor to the constantly cheery, but i'm always happy to try something new. intensity, passion, conviction, open-mindedness -- all good qualities to have.
in a perfect world it's not life and death for you if we're apart for a trip to the grocery store but a few days away makes you feel that little pang. most important - you've got to be able to laugh at yourself.
(oh... and at me).
