Hey, I'm Daniel. How can I summarize myself in this little box? I'm an attorney, a philosopher, an aspiring novelist, and a generally nice guy so long as you catch me after I've eaten.

I just finished taking the Maryland Bar Exam and while I wait for the results, I'm buckling down and finally publishing my novel. Excitement!

I'm extremely good at telling awful puns, and good enough at everything else my friends don't disown me because of the jokes.

Probably my height, and the fanfare of trumpets that accompanies me every time I enter the room.

Books: Language, Truth and Logic (AJ Ayer), The Silmarillion (JRR Tolkien), Song of Ice and Fire (Martin)

Music: Rammstein, Eisbrecher, VNV Nation, and much, much more.

Food: Most anything that does not contain fruit or seafood.

Webcomics: XKCD, DrMcNinja, Subnormality and Penny Arcade!

Lively debate, red velvet cake, kittens, internet access, music, and an escape plan.

I spend too much time worrying about doing things efficiently, to the point of being inefficient. It's a curse. I also spend a lot of time thinking about Big And Unanswerable Questions, politics, my work, and how much I love Indian food.

Either writing, being social and hanging out with friends, or meeting an amazing girl who messaged me on this website. She could be YOU! Act now.

Gravy on mashed potatoes is a great dish not because gravy makes mashed potatoes taste better (although it does), but because the presence of mashed potatoes makes people less likely to stare at you when eating gravy. Mmm...gravy...

...you're an intelligent girl with a sense of adventure.

Or if you weren't going to message me, but in the name of Science (TM) want to tell me why, so that I can acquire data and improve the efficacy of this profile.
