And I’m in love again – this time with comedian Demetri Martin.

I would marry him, but since he’s Greek and I’m not a Greek virgin, that probably isn’t going to happen. He also reminds me of several of my ex-boyfriends all at the same time, which is both good and bad. He is adorable, funny, smart. If her reads this, he should comment and ask for my phone number.

Anyway, see below for a bit about Demetri that I rip right off of his fan site:

• First and foremost, the dude’s name is spelled Demetri Martin. It’s not Demitri. It’s not Dimitri. It’s not Dimetri. It’s D-E-M-E-T-R-I
• He was born on May 25, 1973 (although he looks younger, which makes him rather perfect)
• He’s from New Jersey
• He lives in New York
• He’s Greek
• His father was a Greek Orthodox priest. In addition, his parents owned a Greek restaurant. Demetri worked there at some point. In between doing whatever work he did there, he did word puzzles and wrote palindromes.
• He skateboards on a regular basis around New York
• He attended Yale University and NYU School of Law on a full scholarship
• He dropped out of law school to become a comedian. I have never read one single interview with or article about Demetri Martin that did not mention the fact that he dropped out of law school to become a comedian. It is literally never NOT mentioned. Why? I don’t know
• Demetri enjoys puzzles and puzzle books more than the average person
• He also enjoys writing palindromes
• He also likes doing anything involving the rearrangement of words and letters
• He enjoys words and letters period
• Demetri Martin is a nerd (Hey, he says so himself.)
• He married his high school girlfriend
• They are no longer married
• Demetri plays many musical instruments

You should watch his Comedy Central special: Demetri Martin. Person. Rent it here.
