About Me

Living in Downtown Jersey City going to Rutgers Law in Newark. I intend to make absolutely no money by going into public interest law. ACLU here I come.It's hard to explain me. For example, I am a great fan of justice and fairness in all things yet cheat every time I play Monopoly. I love subtitled movies, but I love poorly dubbed films even more. I flirt with strangers on the subway with my eyes, in the hopes that someone might write a Missed Connections to me on Craigslist. I love roller coasters and puppy dogs. My morals have largely been shaped by Superman and Batman. Civics is my religion and election days are my Christmas mornings. I'll never vote for a Republican and I don't consider that political fanaticism, but simply common sense. I hate raisins in everything but Raisin Bran cereal. I carry a man-bag and it's name is Ms. Christina Flappelgate. Seriously.Some would say that makes me annoying. I prefer idiosyncratic. My way is much more romantic.I'm a hopeless romantic.

My Interests

Comic books, reading, theatre, movies, liberalism, board games, spirited debate, fighting injustice while wearing tights, Dance Dance Revoluion.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who shares my sense of humor as well as my sense of liberal outrage. Someone who doesn't mind listening to a fiery explanation as to why I love comic books so and can give an equally impassioned argument for their own hobbies. Someone who isn't afraid of a semi-colon. Boys who love their mommies.
