I live a champagne life on a beer budget. The die hard romantic in me still believes in happily-ever-after. I subscribe to that wry and subtle-as-a-rhino brand of sarcasm New Englanders call a sense of humor and have a soft spot for good coffee, men who can cook, whimsical films & people who are just un peu insane.

I spontaneously get on planes and have this knack for falling over things-a lot. Sometimes when I get up in the morning I dance around to the radio. I planned to be an actress - instead I went to grad school and studied intl affairs and media/tech policy.

My family is unusual but I adore them to death. I'm also a fan of live music, lightning storms, riding my bike in high heels, playful dogs, running hard on dirt tracks, yellow roses, sailing, bookstore cafes, road trips, red jello popsicles, huge black & white photo prints, practical jokes and unexpected romantic gestures.
