I'm originally from Chicago: home of Oprah, skyscrapers and high cholesterol. There's very little I don't enjoy. I love sports (Chicago teams minus The Cubs... what The Cubs do can't really be considered a sport). I like theatre (yes, even musicals). Art, literature, trivia nights, concerts, hiking, sketch comedy, traveling... bring it on. Few respect the Renaissance Man now, but trust me... if this was 15th century Europe, I'd be considered very cool.

I'm always juggling at least two books. I could write poetry about the perfect hot dog. I fall asleep listening to The Adam Carolla Show, The BS Report, The Ricky Gervais Show, or NPR (This American Life, Fresh Air, and other great, pretentious shows).

Want to know more? Just ask.

I do marketing for a digital media company. It's all very exciting.

Many people have said that I'm narcissistic, but I don’t think it’s true. If I were to say which Greek figure I take after, it wouldn't be Narcissus. It'd be Zeus.

How come Ross, Joey, and Chandler spent a whole night watching Die Hard yet didn't think it was weird that Bruce Willis looked a lot like the guy Rachel dated one season earlier?

I love Dawson's Creek. Judge all you want, but there's something about angsty kids set amongst Fall foliage that I find soothing.

If you enjoy killing time in bookstores, walking through museums, and wearing sundresses. If you're girly but could secretly kick my ass. If you know what you want and don't play games (I hate games unless it's Monopoly, Backgammon, or Scene It).

Also, I get a bunch of messages just saying, "Hi there." You're already breaking the gender barrier by messaging the guy first. How about a little effort?
