I grew up among CIA spooks, mega-churches, lobbyists and rednecks in Arlington, Virginia. Moved, when I was twelve to Minnesota, where I lived for nine years among hippies and funny talking people. Now I reside in Manhattan.
My thick hair and deep voice make me seem like a budding news anchor. But beneath my corny exterior lies an irreverent and cynical socialist. I dislike advertising, cliches and most people in general. But I have gotten a lot better at hiding that last one.
Having an account like this is relatively new for me. Every time I message someone on here I feel like a creepy pervball...but I promise I'm not a creepy pervball...but if I was I'd probably say I wasn't...

Spending the money I've saved up as a customer service drone and attending The New School where I'm not quite sure what I'm studying. I have been known to participate in acting and writing in various capacities, but am loathe to go into much detail here.

Staying healthy. If I don't watch myself I start feeling like a fried piece of crap. I eat pretty well, but I'm not perfect. I also exercise regularly: biking, running and yes, I do go to the gym, but it's the YWCA so I'm working out with old hippies and not jock doucebags.
Also, impressions. I'm definitely NOT one of those people who won't stop doing celebrity voices until everyone around them feels alienated, but on occasion I have been known to do impersonations of Don Draper, Bill Clinton, Woody Allen and others.

My beard if I happen to have one that day; and if so how weird it is that it's red while my head hair is blonde.

What I'm going to do with my short life

Doing atypical things with atypical people.

I once got punched in the face by a guy in a wheelchair.

You don't use the internet to manifest a faux version of yourself.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of the whole concept of just "chatting" without ever meeting in real life.
