Hey, I'm Dante. I'm an English major from Vassar College looking for a new job. I graduated in May 2007, and focused in medieval literature. I also read lots of comics (and let's be honest, lots of books too) of as many genres as I can, which I suppose makes me an endearing geek. ;-) To add to my geekiness, I volunteer as an Assistant Scoutmaster at my brother's Boy Scout troop in town and I love hiking, camping and rollerblading.

-Paying off my student loans from Vassar
-Working tech support for a major cell phone company. It only kind of blows, unlike customer service, which just blows.
-Going back to school part-time for Library Science.
-Working part-time at Southern CT State University's library.
-Volunteering as Assistant Scoutmaster for BSA Troop 138-Naugatuck
-Being a ninja
-Patrolling the streets of Paragon City (bonus points if you know to what I am referring without Google-ing "Paragon City")

Wow. I suppose I'm sort of busy. Didn't really realize that til now.

Being a (comic book) geek. Cuddling. Hugging. Listening. My job. Hating my dentist. Seeing the good in people. Being awesome. Playing padiddle.

My hair. It's thick and everyone likes it.

Books: What I'm reading now: Ms. Marvel, Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series, Kim Harrison's The Hollows series (aka the Rachel Morgan series), X-Force, Green Lantern, struggling through The Chronicles of Narnia. Not struggling because it's difficult, but because it's boring as all hell. Yeah, I went there. I called The Chronicles of Narnia boring.

Something to read, the internet, my siblings, TV on DVD, something to do, my dog.

Comics, the things I've read, the economy (who isn't?), stories I want to read, life, the universe and everything.

Video games with the dudes from work.

I have a crush on Sonia Baghdady, the anchorwoman from "Good Morning Connecticut."
