About Me

I'm 23, a leo, a liberal, and left-handed. I intern while trying to finish my degree and I constantly wonder what the future holds for me. I'm from Maryland outside of Washington, DC, but here in Boulder, CO going to school at the University of Colorado. I'm a city boy at heart and have to live downtown so you can walk out and do most anything you want. I'm not big on going out just to go out, but love to go out for lunch/dinner/drinks with the right person or group where it's about the company you keep. I enjoy getting away from the city every now and then. Either skiing, going to the beach, or traveling. I want to visit Hong Kong, St. Petersburg, Cape Town and go again to Paris, London, New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago. I love Chinese food, and miss Chinatown. Grabbing a DVD and Chinese take out is also perfect for one of my favorite activities - cuddling. It's so romantic, but so is breakfast in bed. I like a nice sidewalk cafe, coffee shop, or lounge where you can talk and get to know others. I really like independent bookstores where you can talk with knowledgeable employees who know books, and don't give corporate recommendations. And of course, I'm a big news junkie, so I read my 3-4 newspapers daily. New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune or Wall Street Journal.
