I recently graduated from IU where I studied Journalism and Communication and Culture. I had written and/or edited for my school newspaper's entertainment magazine for the past five years. I hope to work at a newspaper or magazine (specifically as a film critic), while writing screenplays on the side. Close friends and family are especially important to me. I'm a huge fan of Purdue football and IU basketball (strange, huh?). I also dig the Cubs and the Colts. I'm a pop culture junkie.

I want to meet cool, down to earth people who are intelligent and have a good sense of humor. Sharing at least a few of the same interests as me would be a good thing. Preferably, these folks would be women, but dudes seeking friendship are welcome as well.
