I read a blog by the guys who run this site and I was really intrigued, so I figured I had to check it out! I guess their blog works...

I'm originally from the Midwest but no one thinks of me that way since I grew up on the East Coast. I've been living in the city for a long time now and I really love it here, but I still find it fun to explore. Every so often I get into my head that I could live somewhere else, but then I get there, miss NYC and move back. I think that phase is over now. I've accepted that I'm in a relationship with the city.

I passionate about a lot of the things that I do and causes about which I care which you'll either like or hate, I guess. I hope you have something you care about too or else I bet this is going to be a short ride!

Oh yeah, I love animals and I'm a vegetarian. If you're a vegetarian, hey, all the better, but it's not required. My mom is a vegetarian and my dad isn't and they work it out.

I probably come across as pretty plain vanilla but I think most people find that I'm not. I guess you have to figure out if you're ok with that. I love puppies (see photos) and babies too, but I definitely want more than that.

The simple answer is I'm working towards an uncertain goal. So far, the trip is great! I hope the destination is too!

- fixing things thanks to an innate ability to break things as a child and strong sense of self-preservation!
- making people laugh - sometime at me rather than with me!

People are always looking at my dog. I swear he's more popular than I am.

I love pizza. love love love love love it.

I love Vonnegut; I think I've read all of his books. I re-read Catch 22 constantly. I like Jhumpa Lahiri a lot as well as several other Indian writers. It's nice to have someone write about your experience.

I see very few movies. I'm just not that into staring at the screen I guess.

I really like hip hop and indie rock. I'd love to meet someone who would want to go to shows!

I think I can take most anything, but there are a lot of things that I'd rather not do without.

In no order - my work, my dog, my friends, my family. I think about the value of things - what we do, who we affect, what makes everything "worth it".

hopefully out and having fun!

I'm willing to admit to being excited about the possibilities!

You're open-minded, fun and witty. If you have a strong desire to do things and experience the world rather than stay home and watch TV.

I don't quite get how people are here looking for a "short-term" relationship. Aren't those just "long-term" relationships that didn't work out so well?

And this might sound obnoxious, but message me - don´t wink! What is that supposed to mean anyway? "I might like you but I can´t be bothered to say hello" or "I don´t have the self-confidence to approach anyone"?
