I hate writing these things, they always come off so self-aggrandizing. I guess I'm basically just a nice guy. I have a good sense of humor, if you like sarcasm. If not, we may not get along. I try to be pretty laid back, whenever possible, and I get along with most people. I'm hopeless romantic, but also a realist. I don't have a ton of faith in the whole internet dating thing, but It's been a while for me, so I'm willing to give it a shot. I'm really just looking for someone who i can be with, both romantically and intellectually. If we can't have a decent conversation, I'm not interested.

I am funny, smart, and kind

I graduated from UConn in July of 09 with a degree in political science. Since then, I've been looking for a job in the humanitarian aid field and am considering applying to Americorps or possibly grad school. I work part time at a retail chain for now, to pay the bills.

making people laugh, listening, insomnia, knowing bits of strange, esoteric, arcane, dubious, and/or useless trivia

I have a twin brother, so i get "Do I know you from somewhere?" more often than most people

The future, books i've read, finding a job. Increasingly, I am anxious for my so called "real life" to start.

Reading a good book, playing video games, watching baseball with my dad, out with friends

I yearn for some modicum of artistic talent. I have tried my hand at music, drawing, poetry, writing, and through it all, have remained spectacularly untalented in every regard. Music especially, i long for, but instruments are just not my thing, and my singing voice is passable at best, which doesnt stop me from trying.

you're cool and want to talk
