About Me

hey, my name is tommy , i live in boston. i've spent the last 20 years of my life studying classical violin and cultivating an intense appreciation for the arts. i love books (primarily history) and in the last year and 1/2 of my life have developed an obsession with food and wine. i like to wander around the city and try new things or just people watch. i aspire to do more travelling in the future...and it's recently occured to me that i need to learn how to relax.

My Interests

phone conversations...anything to do with music...or the making of music...old violins...reading... old books...any books...architecture...candle light...good food...red wine...lots and lots of cuddles (my favorite)...france...flowers...waking up with a smile...kisses...new shoes...yummy seafood...text messages...foreign accents...old photos...family histories...impossible love stories...sending mail...getting mail...spending the afternoon in bed...peppermint capuccinos...vintage clothes...old maps...sail boats...sparkling water...european history...fashion...bright colors...hair cuts...thai food...pajamas...fresh air...new friends

I'd like to meet:

anyone with a passion, anyone with a heart, people who just like to have a good time, music lovers, art geeks, book dorks, open minded people who never stop caring (even when they're angry) and people who will never cease to amaze me.
