I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Software Developer for a private company in VA. I have an obsession with languages and meeting people from all over the world.

Oh my, a Margaret Cho sighting! I haven't seen her in ages!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like people with a different view on life. The more original the outlook, the more interesting I find a person. I like dorky personalities but not those who feel they have to win every argument and be right all the time.
