I have just recently been transferred from NYC to CT for work. The good news is that I was promoted, the sad news is that I am no longer in NYC (but I still have my apartment there). I had a great thing going there, as many of my friends from Chicago and Boston were in NYC, but now I am in CT and looking to meet new people.

I work to travel, I love exotic locales, and my idea of a great vacation involves part relaxation and part exploration. I want to move back to Europe at some point. I plan on getting a Tuscan Villa once I get my career on track.

I love food of all sorts, and am blessed with a great metabolism. Because my eating habits are definitely similar to those of a fat kid, but I also go to the gym often. It is pretty much the only place I know how to get to (other than work) in good ole CT. Hopefully someone on here will be able to show me around. I would love to get to know some new people, for friendship and possibly more.

I manage the sales department of a medium sized business. I have learned a lot about sales and retail, and I hope to start my own business within the next five years. I have some more things to learn, but if you aren't growing professionally it would probably get pretty boring.

For fun I am figuring out how to get to South Africa for the world cup. And then take over Anthony Bourdain's show "No Reservation" Seriously, all he does is drink and eat with people from all over the world. Is there a much better job?

Quoting movies. Changing people's minds. Making bad situations fun/funny. Learning new things. philosophical theory. cannon balls.

I'm also good at those cliche, but important things, you know... listening, conversation. I'm acceptable to introduce to your friends and family. I'm also fairly nerdy *pushes glasses up*, introspective and nice... I have had a lot of edumacation (go U.Chicago and Obama!)

That I'm laughing.

I'm fit.

I am a snazzy dresser.

a) Well, come on I like the classics... Goodnight Moon, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Dune, 100 Years of Solitude, Dr. Seuss Books (all of them), The Odyssey, The Iliad, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, anything Magical Realism. So many more... I just finished Ender's Game and I picked up Dante's "Inferno" yeah U.Chicago...

b) Princess Mononoke, GHOSTBUSTERS, The Godfather, Anchorman, Kung Pow, Shrek, The Baxter, March of the Penguins, Star Wars (original trilogy), Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Wedding Crashers! and so soooo many more. The best movie ever is The Shawshank Redemption. If you haven't seen it and we become friends I will make you watch it. I also really like Dan in Real Life and Definitely Maybe.

I really love cartoons, their laws of physics are preferable to ours.

c) On a whole I listen to Billy Joel, Huey Lewis and the News, Phil Collins(yeah American Pyscho!), Cake, Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tracy Chapman, Frank Sinatra, Etta James, Five For Fighting, Foo Fighters (how can I just be discovering them?)... want more just ask. Oh yeah, and the Decemberists. My goal is to go to a Dave Matthews Concert this year. I don't often go to concerts, but I really like DMB. So sue me, everyone has guilty pleasures right?

d) I LOVE FOOD!! Because it is delectable. I mean think about what people can do with food. I love to bake, but most importantly I like going to good Japanese food (Sushi is luscious), Italian (Cacio e Pepe on the Lower East Side), and...

Pizza (especially New York Style, that's the good stuff). I do have a place in my heart for Giordano's though (4 years in Chicago will do that to a man).

I enjoy good cheese (cheesecake too) and fresh fruit. I also like Steak Houses, and am always up for something new. A little Korean-BBQ anyone? And of course wine....mmmmmmm

Travel, family, warm drinks, a good night's sleep, adventure, learning something new.

Food.

Travelling (yes I randomly buy tickets to places and then ask for the days off, just because sometimes you need to be whimsical)

Inspiration

What the world would be like without Captain Hook.

The Office/30Rock and what it would take to write for a great comedy.

What there is to do in CT other than moo at the cows and wave to the horses.

There is no typical anymore.

I love buying new socks so I can skate around on hardwood floors.

you enjoy having fun, eating great food, and if you want clever conversation.

You should be able to make me laugh. I like it when my stomach hurts because I laughed too hard. Everyone loves that, don't they?
