Hi there! Here's the 2, 000 word synopsis of me: I work as a magazine editor in Manhattan and live in Astoria, four subway stops from Manhattan.( I'm in love with being close to New York City, and the idea of the city in general, but don't want to give up the car.) Some of the stuff I like to do: watching movies of all kinds, catching live music or checking out a new restaurant -- you know, general urban exploration whether in museums, stores, or some outer-borough neighborhood I've never been to before. That's not to say I'm averse to suburbia. Other things I like: baseball (particularly going to games in the summer), the beach, Irish pubs and other divey-type bars. I consider myself a voracious reader and someone who's aware of the world around me. I like rollerblading, though I don't own a pair, and am up for dancing (I've even had a few lessons). I'd prefer an unpretentious, divey bar to a velvet-rope club, though. Anyway, if this sounds good to you, drop me a line... i'd love to hear from you.My ideal person would be someone kind, humorous, intelligent, funny, tolerant and slightly left of center [not neccesarily politically]. I'm also looking for someone who's game for serious conversations, but isn't afraid to be silly [and even finds it preferable sometimes].
