I love making lists, so here's one about me:

*I read at least one book per week. Talk to me about your favorite novels and I'll like you already...just don't be pretentious and bonus points if you read Young Adult lit.
*I bake when life stresses me out.
*Commuting to work on the T is my daily therapy.
*Reality tv is like crack to me...I don't care if it's semi-respectable or complete trash, if it's on I'll watch it.
*My goal in life is to write a fictional novel and a memoir. I keep thinking of things to write about in my head but have yet to start.
*I was a math major turned English major. While most bookish folk hate math, I secretly love it....but not so secretly anymore.
*I prefer the bar scene to the club scene but I'm just as happy, if not happier, drinking at home with my close friends
*Christmastime is still my favorite time of year. I'm a 5 year old boy sometimes.
*I'm a romantic. Dinner and a movie really would be the ideal date.
*I also love beer...if you don't, we are going to have to work through our differences.

I work in education. Right now I'm the director for a tutoring company. In the process of applying to grad school. The goal for the not-so-distant future is to teaching back in the classroom.

Teaching...or at least I like to think so. Listening...but also talking. Cooking (Italian!) and drinking (Irish!). Making people laugh with my wit, or general sarcasm, or just stupid comments.

My sour expressions. For some reason, I look like I'm always unhappy but I swear that's just my face...

Books: Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, The Confessions of Max Tivoli, The Story of a Marriage, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, The Hunger Games Trilogy, Hero, The Shadow of the Wind, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Running with Scissors, Harry Potter, East of Eden, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Snuff, or really anything by Brett Easton Ellis, Andrew Sean Greer, and David Sedaris. I also have a huge affinity for young adult literature. I strongly believe it can be just as good if not better than "adult" fiction and hope to one day write some.

Movies: Too many! #1 Guilty pleasure: Miss Congeniality. Otherwise some of my favorites are: Rules of Attraction, Empire Records, Closer, X-Men 1 and 2 (but not 3), Y Tu Mama Tambien, Brokeback Mountain, A Single Man...the list is much much longer. I spend lots of my free time reading or watching movies so I have a hefty collection of both.

Music: various. Lots of top 40 crap. Some of my other favorites are Guster, Mika, Lady Gaga, Postal Service, and more...

Food: Indian, Italian, Japanese....I like everything. I will try anything once and am the least pickiest eater ever.

What life would be like without student loans.

Depends on the night. I'm either out grabbing a few drinks with friends, or in watching a movie and having a relaxing night with my roommate.

I would love to date someone exactly like me...not because I'm full of myself....I just prefer people with similar interests.

You are looking to meet someone new with the potential for dating if we click.

Ask me out for a drink and I'll probably say yes.
