Date men and women from United States / California / Capitola, 35 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm not sure what to say, I was never a very good salesperson....so here's the quick and the dirty! I'd like to think I'm a fairly easy going person. My friends often describe me as funny and sarcastic with a dry sense of humor as well. I'm also pretty good at laughing at myself and taking a joke. Generally, humor plays a large part in my life!
I was born and raised just outside of Philadephia, but have lived here for almost ten years. Thankfully I got rid of the philly accent many moons ago, but I seem to have hung on to the east coast habits of being blunt and pulling no punches. Sometimes my inner filter gets turned off, and I find inappropriate comments and conversations hysterical...to a degree. I moved to Santa Cruz from San Francisco about eight months ago and have fallen in live with my new city.
I work at a veterinary hospital so it stands to reason that I love animals. My job can be pretty stressful at times, very rewarding, and emotionally draining as well, so I like to keep things drama free when I'm not there.
I like to spend my days off at the beach or soaking up the sun any way I can. II only recently started to travel and have been to London, Ireland and Australia. I've officially been bitten by the bug and would like to start taking one trip a year to somewhere new and cool. Of course, with the economy the way it is, I may have to re-evaluate my definition of cool!
I think that about covers the basics. If you don't mind a little sarcasm, can appreciate a good chicken wing and know not only what a "chuck it" is, but how to use one...drop me a line. Bonus points if you can tell me why every guy on match is currently reading, or just finished reading "A Confederacy of Dunces"?
