(4) An enthusiastic traveller and adventurer - ask about the burning bus in the Taklamakan desert. Do not take the burning bus in the Taklamakan desert.

(5) A much more frequent organizer of get-togethers with friends and neighbors.

(6) A striver, ivy-league grad, lawyer, etc.

(11) An overly-clever boychick who hopes you find this as amusing as I do right now and are writing me a blazingly passionate email.....

criminal defense/appellate law. A lot of research and writing. Currently beefing up my language skills and taking stats class to try something new...

Languages, jokes, giving directions - for some reason, I've become the guy that everyone stops and asks for directions. It seems to happen once a day now - Does this happen to everyone who's been here long enough?

The online profile of one of my college profs was "fat, bald, big nose." I'm not fat :)

For years my favorite book has been The Name of the Rose. Currently reading "Let the Great World Spin"

Fan of musicals - the classics like West Side Story, My Fair Lady. However, I've never seen Rent.

Music: listening to alot of classical online these days: Mozart, Mussourgsky. I've often liked swing. The Cure, Cafe Tacuba, They Might Be Giants, Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway. Not a big hip-hop fan, but like Tribe and a couple other 90s groups. Queen. Imperial Teen. Nina Simon

TV: The Thick of It, Portlandia, Bomb Girls

Food: spicy fish, at the moment

Exercise, sense of humor, community. And books.

legal briefs, relationships,

out with friends, catching up on BBC shows

I don't know? I cook more fish than a vegetarian should?

You're happy, capable, intelligent and interested in me.
