* I'm on Facebook waaaay more than I'm on here.

* ENTP, undercover tomboy, admittedly a lawyer, but still a kid at heart. I love to travel, and although I am good at many other things, I have no sense of direction (the scenic route can be fun). I love looking at pretty fishies underwater, so I spend lots of time, money, and energy trying to get underwater to see them.

* My dog and I moved to Zurich from Manhattan, refugees from the high-rise anonymity of New York corporate law, and he comes to work with me every day. I live on candy, people, and books, and I tend to devour them with great gusto and delight, literally or figuratively. I laugh at anything I can possibly laugh at, because sometimes it's easier to laugh things off than to cry over them. I missed TiVo so much that I set one up with a SlingBox at my sister's house so I can watch my TV, halfway around the world. I have a Darth Tater who sits on my desk at work.

* I believe that life should be lived with passion and conviction, or it's not worth the effort, and that there is little worse than stagnation. Question everything and do no harm, and if you can, find a better way. At work, I try to right a small part of one of the greatest wrongs ever committed. I try to travel and dive whenever I have the time and money to spare: weekend trips around Europe, longer trips around the globe. A restless life is a restful one, in my book. Anything involving plane tickets, pillows, the printed word, tail-wagging, breathing underwater, clear skies, silliness, or sugar, count me in.

Someone with opposable thumbs, a sense of humor, and a working knowledge of English grammar. PADI certification is cool, too. And if you have your own private jet and your own private island and your own private reef with your own private fish, can I be your friend?
