I got out of the Navy in September (2006) after 6 years, and had an awesome road trip from the Seattle area to Iowa. I got a job with Fisher in Marshalltown, so I am in the process of building a new life for myself in the "real" world.
I enjoy cooking for myself and others, from cookies to chicken parmesan.
My favorite characters from The Simpsons are Ralph and Dr. Nick.
I'll listen to almost any music. I prefer the indie/alternative type though, some of my favorites right now are The Decemberists, The Gorillaz, and Incubus. I try to stay away from new country, but it's almost impossible in this part of the country.
As for my personality, I fall squarely in the category of "Introvert", but I'm trying to break out of that pattern (perhaps you could help with that?). People tell me that I have a good (if a little strange) sense of humor.
Being new around here, I am looking for someone to hang out with, see movies, go bowling, drive aimlessly around, etc.
