About Me |

Words that describe me: fearless, devoted, cynical, political, dependable, adventurous, eloquent, irreverent, slackassed, hilarious, obscene, moody, vocabulicious, compassionate, outspoken, fiery, overworked, undersexed , intelligent, capable, witty, empathic, metrosexual, risk-taker, informed, stylish, acutely self-aware, blunt, creative, jaded. I don't believe in any of that astrological bullshit, but I'm told that I'm a textbook Capricorn. Take that for what you will.

I'd like to meet:I've been in Las Vegas for two years now and haven't made a whole lot of friends outside of work. Quality people seem to be hard to find in this town (with one notable exception). So if you're not easily offended, don't have horrible taste in music, aren't a shitty band trying to get free Myspace publicity, didn't vote for George Bush, change your underpants at least twice a week, won't brew crystal meth in my bathtub, aren't married to Britney Spears Kevin Federline, and won't look at me like I'm insane when I eat horseradish straight, no chaser, then sure, what the hell. Drop me a line. Seriously, I need to make some Vegas friends. Hit me up on instant messenger - screen name is JayFensterV1 on both Yahoo and AIM. |
