Things I don't like: pulling out cotton in tylenol bottles - like nails on a chalk board. bathroom fans. Soap Operas. Star Trek. Slow drivers.

Neither a crusading counterculturalist nor a staid bourgeois. I'm the jock, the brain, the criminal, the princess and the kook. I like to eat raspberry yogurt with Lucky Charms in it while listening to old motown records and reading In Touch - embarrassing - yes - necessary - yes. I could read Newsweek, but Mary Kate and Ashley aren't on the cover. Kidding...kind of.

What to say.. Well I figured after having an account on here for about two years (or so) it was about time to add something to it. I'm from Western Mass but moved down to Northern Virginia July 2004 for a job. I'm currently employed with a company called Verint who does all sorts of security things such as video survalance (london underground, target, nj turnpike, etc), "this call may be monitored for quality assurance" recording systems, and my job, wiretapping.
