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

About Me

My "about me" section was long overdue for an update, so without further ado I present you with a concise narrative about myself. I am an extrovert to the fullest extent of the word, always happy to meet new people and have new, interesting experiences. I love to travel, but while you'll find the typical tourist checking out the architecture and national monuments, you'll find me at a dive bar chatting up the locals to find the hidden secrets of their town, like the best restaurant or the best free view of the city. I am a very organized person, constantly making todo lists and obsessively checking my email. I am an insomniac, but only so much so that I have a hard time falling asleep -- once I'm there, I'll be there for awhile. And I don't like living in "normal person" hours, so you never know when I'll be awake or asleep. Thank you, Las Vegas, for being willing to work with me on that. Lastly, I'm afraid of needles and rollercoasters, so don't offer to give me a tattoo or take me to Magic Mountain.

My Interests

computers, gambling, karaoke, Las Vegas, listening to music, meeting new people, New York, playing guitar, poker, sleeping, traveling, trying new restaurants
