hi,

i was born in russia and came to long beach in 1992 and have been here ever since. i just started business school at long beach state and if everything goes according to plan, ill be done next winter. i have a very close group of friends who are as ridiculous as i am. i love them and would do absolutely anything for them. im a fan of sarcasm, wit, and occassional self-depricating humor. i'm a huge believer in silver linings and grains of salt. if you prick me, i bleed dodger blue. i like dancing and the zoo! im also a huge believer in chivalry not being dead. i have a somewhat dominant personality that tends to scare people off at first but they soon come to find out that im a huge sweetheart. i love movie hopping and connect four. i love to travel and have been to spain, israel, france, greece, turkey, england, belgium, italy and mexico. im not too religious but i recently came back from israel and the experience taught me the importance of me recognizing that im a jew. i can relate to most anyone and think that tolerance is a cop out--acceptance is more difficult. spelling and proper grammar are extremely important. good people, good food, and a good pint all in one spot makes me the happiest.

im pretty much looking for someone with a great sense of humor. im a big dork and want to find someone who can appreciate it and can be a dork with me. i joke a lot and so hopefully you dont have a problem taking it and then giving it right back. quick wit is appreciated. if you love board games and family guy, perfect. im not looking for anything serious right off the bat but if it turns into that, im not opposed. good family values and education are also important to me.

first dates are tricky and it depends on the person. sometimes lunch or dinner is enough, just as long as its not me who is doing the cooking as i am completely inept in that department. while other times going to a dodger game is just as good. im always down for something new or different and have no problem being outside my comfort zone. like i said, genuinely good people is usually all it takes for a good time to be had.
