I'm a slightly sardonic but fun-loving social animal. There's nothing I love more than some good conversation, quick wit, and bits of dry humor. I have a big passion for music and the arts. I value those close to me and always look forward to the opportunity to meet new people, broaden my horizons, step out of my comfort zone, and maybe even learn something new.

I work in development for opera while finishing grad school

My eyes, I am told. They're this bizarre grey that mixes a bunch of different colors and tends to be accentuated by whatever color I happen to be wearing. Some also comment on my posture and "walk with a purpose." I'm really just impatient and move quickly.

I studied music in undergrad so classical music takes top rank. I've always had a soft spot for Russian orchestral music but also like to mix it up with some baroque, and post romantic/impressionist faves.

In more modern moods I gravitate towards the alternative- Vampire Weekend, Passion Pit, Phoenix, Deathcab, Florence and the Machine, Also singer/songrwriters like Sufjan Stevens, Adele, Joni Mitchell, Feist, Kate Nash, Jose Gonzalez, Regina Spektor. And I have to mix it up with some mindless pop every now and with mega guilty pleasures Lady Gaga, Robyn, and Madonna

Honestly I don't read very much. It has to be short, I tend to gravitate to short satyrical stories like David Sedaris. I don't watch movies often either but love a good nerdy documentary.

I spend way too much time thinking about food. I love to eat healthy but also love to go out. I'll try most anything once.

The future, both immediate and long-term

Up to a lot of different things, sometimes working, sometimes going out with friends to eat or drink, sometimes being cozy at home, all depends on my mood or how the week went.

I'm much too private to admit things on the internet

If you think we could have some great conversation!
