Doesn't trust people who don't like jazz. Longs to travel. Can touch tongue to nose. Most likely listening to music right now. Tremendously romantic, if given the outlet. Encyclopedic knowledge of far too many useless things (movies, theatre, song lyrics, etc.). Secretly will always want to be center fielder for the Minnesota Twins (well, not so secret anymore). Sees potential in every new person met. Gearing up to be Best Man at brother's wedding (5/27/07!!!). 25 going on 76. Surrounded by lovely people. Can kick your ass in Scrabble. Still sleeps with a teddy bear. Tries to go to the theatre at least once a week. Minnesotan accent slips out when tired or excited. Tall. Was once told by Megan Mullally that he was "very self-possessed" (this was taken as a compliment). Morally opposed to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and American Idol. Did his Tim Gunn impression for Laura from Project Runway Season 3 (she liked it!).
