About Me:
Hmmm what to say. I alternate between ridiculous and serious, and often have a hard time differentiating between the two. I majored in Philosophy and Rhetoric in college, but somehow managed to become neither an intellectual nor a sleazeball. I've always been introverted and tend to need a lot of time to recharge, but like hanging out for dinner and drinks or hitting a show. I'm probably happiest wrapped up in a new book or trading music ideas with other music nuts. I drink socially, but my main vices are pizza and coke slurpees.

Who I Want to Meet:
Freaky net pals. Chi-town silly people. Music geeks who aren't snobbier than I am. Folks I knew in the olden times. People that can make pizza appear from thin air.

the bestest brother ever. He taught
me how to play frisbee and, of course,
MAgic (the card game). He even took
care of me when he cracked my head
open on a brick wall. Although we no
longer share these things, Rich is
still a pretty great brother- always
good to have around at family
functions and the top supplier of
my "new" music.
getting to know Rich a bit through
IoE. Having read previous testimonials
it's hard to avoid sounding redundant
(although I don't know anything about
ninjas), but speaking from a more
personal perspective, Rich is open-
minded, thoughtful, a whole lot of
fun, and has a knack for remembering
details that you expect most people
would have forgotten. WEEEEEEEEEEE
intelligent but has copious amounts of
knowledge on the most esoteric of
subjects. Go ahead; ask him about
eastern philosophy, or anime, or some
random humor site having to do with
ninjas, he'll probably know about it.
Plus he is one of the few people that I
know who can truthfully say that they
listen to plenty of non-mainstream
music. Oh and he likes ninjas, anyone
who likes ninjas gets extra points of
course.
of ninjas, pizza, and monkey pox is a
winning success. I find it
unbelievable that any woman would be
able resist such charms.
