I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a lifelong resident of Niantic. I love this little beach town... I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to be. I work at EB and just finished my Master's through the University of New Haven in Computer Science. I enjoy reading, hanging with friends, my three kitties (no, CJ, I'm not making websites for them!) I'm big into politics and current events, and while I'm not religious, I have a very strong spiritual side. I do tarot card readings (and I've been told I'm quite good at them). My big goal in life is to have a family of my own. I want to be a father and a husband someday, and the desire to do those jobs well drive me more than the desire to make a big name for myself or find an exclusive career or whatever. Not that my job isn't enjoyable! I love what I do, and the people I work with... let's just say that when the day finally comes that I can start a family, that'll be at the top of my list of priorities (and that includes the kitties.)Want to talk to me? I'm on AIM at crando47.

You Are a Retrospective Soul
The most misunderstood of all the soul signs.
Sometimes you even have difficulty seeing yourself as who you are.
You are intense and desire perfection in every facet of your life.
You're best described as extremely idealistic, hardworking, and a survivor.
Great moments of insight and sensitivity come to you easily.
But if you aren't careful, you'll ignore these moments and repeat past mistakes.
For you, it is difficult to seperate the past from the present.
You will suceed once you overcome the disappoinments in life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Traveler Soul and Prophet Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
How You Life Your Life
You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences.
You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable. How Do You Live Your Life?

My Interests

Politics, current events, history, reading, spirituality, tarot, astrology, teaching. I enjoy cooking, I love heavy rains and lots of snow. I like to write, but I don't do it as much as I would want.
You Should Be A Cancer
What's good about you: you're incredibly kind, caring, and generous

What's bad about you: you can be too moody and impossible to understand

In love: you enjoy wining and dining the object of your affection

In friendship, you're: likely to depend on other friends for emotional support

Your ideal job: historian, marine biologist, or religious figure

Your sense of fashion: you dress to match your mood

You like to pig out on: classic home cooked meals, like mac and cheese What Sign Should You Be?

I'd like to meet:

People with interests similar to mine... people to chill with, people to go out with... like I said above, right now I'm just looking to expand the social circle. And here's an odd cat video

Music:

My musical tastes are all over the place... I have a mix CD in my car of about 200 mp3s. Some at the top of the list would include Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Loreena McKennit, Cake... and along with that I enjoy classical music, musicals, rock, alternative... like I said, all over the place. If I know the lyrics, I'm even happier 'cause then I can sing along.

Movies:

Serenity... definitely Serenity. The best movie I've seen of 2005 (and yes, that includes that Star Wars thing.) Airplane and Airplane II, Monty Python, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potters... oh yes, and SNAKES ON MOTHER F*CK*NG PLANES!

Television:

Firefly.. the show that spawned Serenity. Along with the Jack Bauer Power Hour, Lost, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Bones, House, Veronica Mars, The Office, Battlestar Galactica, Scrubs, Heroes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and Angel), Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park, Star Trek (the newer stuff... never got into the 60s show)... Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls (both so good, so short-lived)

Books:

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, the Harry Potters, Harry Turtledove's alternative history... I'm working on the Da Vinci code now... I don't want to be the only one in the country who hasn't read it!

Heroes:

Malcom Reynolds (three Firefly references in a row... obsess much?) My parents and grandparents, Howard Dean (yes, that's right... even after the scream... WHICH by the way, they televised after taking out the screaming crowd... watch it in context, it makes MUCH more sense!), TROGDOR the BURNINATOR, Jon Stewart, Al Gore, and YOU. That's right, you're the wind beneath my wings.
