i think i may be a child stuck in an adult's body. i love silly capers, am generaly amused by playing the funny-face game with 3 year olds and am known to break out into song on occasion (though not known for my voice). this is more a reflection of my beliefs than being an intrinsicly frivolous person (let's hope)-- life is about joy, wonder and love so no need to let certain particularlties of adulthood take that wonder from us. that said, we all have our curmudgeonly serious side. i am a deeply ambitious person in both my career and personal life, have strongly held principles and have an uncanny ability focus at times. life's a paradox huh? and most importantly, hoagies are my favorite food. oh yeah and i almost forgot,i like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners ;)

i'd like to meet interesting people who don't take themselves too seriously-- can you simultanously enjoy 50 cent and goethe? I love people with a deep sense of wonder who can see the magic of the world but simultanously ground themselves in the ordinary.
