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. ;-) I'm an Eagle Scout who's still heavily involved with Scouting 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 sort of blows, unlike customer service, which just blows.
-Going to Southern CT State University part-time for Library Science.
-Working part-time at SCSU's library.
-Volunteering as Assistant Scoutmaster and Advancement Chairman 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")
-Trying to maintain a semblance of a normal social life.

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. It's shorter now than in any of my my profile pictures (perhaps a little longer than Nathan Fillion keeps his hair), but everyone still likes my hair.

I also liked Alias before it caught "The Stupid," X-Men: Evolution, Heroes before it caught "The Death" and Castle.

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.

How about I just give you odd quirks?

---I have a man-crush on Nathan Fillion.
---I sometimes pretend that my college ring is a Green Lantern ring.
---I have a slight obsession with The Food Network's "Unwrapped" simply because it's hosted by Marc Summers. "Double Dare" and "What Would You Do?" were like the staples of my childhood.

---you don't mind geeks/geeky things
---you ARE a geek or a geeky thing
---you enjoy intelligent conversation
---you got through this novel that I call a profile
