I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

If you're interested in adding me as a friend but have never met me, just send me a friend request but also send a message (not a comment). You can tell me a little bit about yourself if you'd like, or just a simple hello is fine too. That's all you have to do, and your request will be accepted. I understand that Myspace is a platform for informal networking, but I'm just one of those who likes to at least make the acquaintance of the people I add to my friends list. That's not too much to ask is it? ;)
I'm a brainy nerdy type.
I'm skinny (although I like to say wiry or lean).
I usually wear glasses.
I think you could describe me as intense... particularly when it comes to my work ethic (which isn't necessarily always a good thing).
I love Modern Art and Design (have a particular love for dutch mid-century modern furniture).
My favorite films and plays have a heavy emphasis on character.
