About Me

What can I say about little ol' me? I'm reasonably easy to get along with; kind of quiet around new people until I get to know them; sensitive; cute, a bit of a geek at times, charming, and delightful on some days; a giant mess on other days; don't take myself too seriously; quirky and acerbic sense of humor. More than anything, I have a high regard for loyalty and trust.

My Interests

Looking for new adventures, Having a good time, Spending time with friends, Illustration, Design, Pink Elephants, Music, Spending entirely too much money on clothing and adult beverages, Dining, Backrubs, Reading, Politics, Bowling, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Rollerblading, Lounging on the sofa, The Sunday N.Y. Times Crossword, Trivia contests, Karaoke for some reason, Learning, Rain, Sleeping, Cats, Scrabble, Cuddling, Complaining, Muckraking, Filthy jokes, Photoshopping the hell out of pictures of my friends, Making scary faces at babies, Making people laugh, Figuring out what I want to do when I grow up, Exacting revenge on those who have seriously wronged me during the course of my life

I'd like to meet:

Friends] Good, honest down-to-earth people, who can make me laugh, don't take themselves too seriously, and can put up with my nonsense. If you have a penchant for ribald humor, we'll probably get along great.

[More than Friends] I always have a hard time coming up with an accurate description when people ask me what "my type" is. I guess a summary of the attributes that I look for would include: being reasonably grounded, genuinely sweet, romantic, with a good sense of humor, not a drama queen, doesn't take himself too seriously, able to take (and make) a joke, and a healthy amount of fashion sense.... somebody who could be equally happy going out on the town or cuddled up on the sofa at home. Physically, I usually go for the preppy/conservative types, the "cool nerds", slightly shorter than myself, and close to my age. I hope to find someone who seeks to better himself and from whom I will better myself. :) More than anything, someone who appreciates me enough to be willing to spend quality time with me.
