I'm a conservative DC type who loves to travel. I'm adventurous and will try most things once.

Working as an emerging markets consultant.

Writing, communication, economic development, running, sewing, art, violin, swimming, playing soccer (right midfield/right wing)

I'm easy to talk to.

Books - Ghost Wars, The Ghost War, The Charm School, Journal of Foreign Affairs, Wuthering Heights, Wicked, anything by Philippa Gregory. Movies - Spy Game, Salt, Syriana, some historical documentaries, Point of No Return, Super Troopers, Clueless, Mean Girls, Breakfast at Tiffany's (come on, what girl doesn't?). Shows - Mystery Diagnosis, Law and Order SVU.

I really dislike reality TV; if your own life isn't exciting enough, you're doing it wrong.

Music - almost anything but do not especially love jazz. I do love going to see live music at places like the 9:30 club. Food - almost anything - not an enormous fan of French food except for Moules Frites.

iPod/music, running shoes, computer, books, water (as in ocean/pool), the one I love

The political and economic mess our country is in and our unmanageable debt.

Either out with friends or hanging out at home. If I'm hanging out with someone I'm dating at home, I like cooking and watching a movie.

Um....no.

You are either looking for purely platonic friendship or you are ultimately interested in a serious relationship. I am not looking for meaningless physical involvement/hookups, etc.
