Date women from United States / California / Tarzana, 36 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm trying Match.com as an experiment. I can't wait to find out what happens. I began said experiment 6/8/2012.
I grew up in LA and have lived in SF, Chicago, NYC, and DC, although I spent summers in rural Arkansas as a child. I was a creative writing/ English lit major. I went to law school, was a COO, but now I'm taking premed classes, as I think some sort of career in holistic medicine will suit me best.
I love hiking, running, cooking, going out to eat, music, art, film, lectures, reading, writing, meeting new people, the farmers' market, and travelling. I also enjoy relaxing. My amazingly beautiful and smart four year old daughter is with me Monday through Thursday, so I have weekends to relax. I go to a writing workshop and meditation classes, grow vegetables, herbs and berries in my garden, and give food from the farmers' market to homeless people most weeks.
Some things that make me smile: Monty Python, Beatles, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, Lao Tzu, dark chocolate, lucid dreaming, Taschen books, Hemingway, Nicholson Baker, Chris Kraus, T Rex, Cat Stevens, I Ching, cellos, carpaccio and a glass of wine at my favorite cafe.
I have a weakness for In N Out burgers. I will bring up Star Wars if I drink too much. I can't drink even decaf coffee or I will not sleep. I secretly love "Spies Like Us." I make the best chili.
I have all these sort of weird photos on my profile as my last SD card went missing about a month ago. The photos are from a shoot I did this year for a book. (Update: for whatever reason, I can't upload new photos to Match.com. Actually, there's a story. I think it's pretty funny, like the time I was banned for a day from Youtube.) I usually appear more cheerful, slightly less like I'm communicating with God in a shower while wearing a plastic bag.
I suppose I'm looking for a smart, funny, educated, attractive, genuine person to see what happens.
Another update: My experiment is going well. I did not expect the primary consequence of my participation on Match.com to be more of an understanding of how I prefer to be treated and what I find attractive and less than attractive in myself and others. On a day to day basis, I find this whole thing pretty hilarious, but I'm noticing a subtle evolution in myself, even though I haven't really been participating as fully as I might.
