Profile

Hi! My name's Tanya, and I live in Pittsburgh. I'm originally from Chicago, and I arrived here in the 'burgh after college in Minnesota and five years living in the San Francisco area.

I read a lot and laugh even more. Love movies, worship my Tivo, and am equally comfortable (and happy!) playing minigolf or visiting a museum. I love to watch football and hockey, and I like jewelry, pedicures, and the color pink. I hate shopping, and I consider malls a level of hell that Dante forgot to document. I'm also a total night owl.

I lean towards the liberal side, especially on social issues. I like people who are slightly geeky/nerdy, but not totally socially awkward. Wide-ranging interests are good, as are respect and appreciation for human diversity. I consider myself somewhat classy but casual, and get along well with people who appreciate the arts but feel most comfortable in jeans.

In real life, I work in the computer software industry as a technical writer.

Where you're likely to know me from: LTHS ("LTHS, our noble school of gold and blue..."), St. Olaf College ("we come from St. Olaf..."), AberMUDs (as Tanya), OKCupid.com (as wimsey70), the Pittsburgh Savoyards or Stanford Savoyards (yeah Gilbert & Sullivan!), or Fubar.com (as wimsey).
