I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wonderful boyfriend and equally wonderful seven-month-old kitten. I'm working on house-breaking both of them.

I have a B.A. in US and Modern European history. I work as a professional tutor in history and essay writing.

I always rate and always send. If you haven't received anything from me, please PM me before you rate me. I promise to re-send. I will PM you before I rate you and I am always willing to go back and re-rate a partner.

Rock, alternative, pop. Motown, '60s and '70s rock, '80s music.

Bands/artists I like: The Fratellis, The Bravery, The Weepies, La Rocca, Dramarama, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, Weezer, The Go! Team, and so on.

Political and history books, biographies, especially of historical figures in the 18th century, philosophy, and anything by Dean Koontz. (I love horror!)

Remains of the Day, Far and Away, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, The Departed, The Strangers, Tremors. Sort of a mixture of girly flicks, thrillers, and horror.

The Office, Lost, Ghost Hunters, anything on HGTV, Futurama, South Park.

Sugar-free candy only!

Cats

Americana (especially old-fashioned American flags - buttons/pins, postcards, photographs, whatever you can think of)

Nutcrackers

Antique coins or paper money

South Beach/Atkins cookbooks or recipes

Scenic photographs to hang on my wall

Little boxes or compartments

Old photographs

Candles (not a big fan of flowery scents)

Lotions

Binder clips, paper clips, and post-it notes that are interesting or unusual sizes or colors
