I PASSED THE BAR EXAM!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

I seek worthwhile people. I'm a scientist at heart, though it's not my day job. I'm a nerd, both at heart, and in general. I'm a positivist, a technocrat, and an atheist. I am sapiosexual.

I think people tend to judge me by my cover. Little do they know!

I find myself disillusioned lately--maybe I'm just being hypercritical, but I'm having trouble seeing the outstanding through all the mediocrity and stereotypes. Does anyone else feel this way? I'd like to hear what you have to say.

I am a RECENT LAW SCHOOL GRADUATE! YES!! The time has flown--it is really hard to believe. I worked in a clinic this past year for homeowner advocacy--basically representing homeowners who have been defrauded by their banks/mortgage holders. It was a pretty awesome experience.

What else? Um, I've become somewhat of a runner, I was awarded an externship at the Maricopa County Superior Court which I completed over last summer, and I got to observe a couple days of the Baseline Killer trial, watched my judge mediate a settlement conference on a multi-million dollar malpractice suit, and got to write a couple bench memos (where I give the judge my legal opinion, and both of which he followed!). I want a regular chess opponent and bridge partner. I'm a soccer referee.

I just signed up to apply for a position as a Mars colonist. I'm also considering applying for a judicial clerkship in Micronesia. Random? Yes. Life's for living!

A friend recently told me I have a phone sex operator voice. I thought that was pretty cool. So, I'm really good at . . . talking? I'm also excellent at typing. 120wpm on a good day. Helps with the law exams, that is for sure.

Random trivia. I remember the most useless things. Unfortunately, I don't think that ability helped me enough to get on Jeopardy (they had online tryouts recently).

I'm almost always taller than anyone else in the room.

Books: Cosmos, To Kill a Mockingbird, Slaughterhouse Five, The Alchemist, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, any books about cosmology, evolution, or science generally.

Okay for fun, for the movies I'll quote a line and you can try to figure out which movie it is:

- "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."
- "You boys like MEXICO?!"
- "I have been--and always shall be--your friend."
- "I am serious . . . And don't call me Shirley."
- "You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?"

TV: House, Game of Thrones, Through the Wormhole, Connections

Music: Alice in Chains, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, STP, Queensrÿche, Gin Blossoms, Stabbing Westward, Live, Steely Dan, Van Halen, Group X

Food: Indian, Thai, little Mexican shack places

You know, I'm pretty lucky just having what I've got.

What a strange mix of coincidence and happenstance life really is.

The law.

Carl Sagan.

Why people actually say they "love to have fun!" on their profiles. Don't we all?

Either hanging out with friends at a local dive, spending time with my family (including my two nieces!), or enjoying a quiet night in . . . reading or browsing or playing a video game, or maybe catching a game on TV.

I get annoyed when people misread this question and demonstrate this to all of us with their answer.

Even more annoying is when people use "women" as a singular noun (i.e. "I'm a smart women"--uh huh).

I quietly one-star people who put "Only after the wedding" as their answer to the "how many dates will it take to have sex" question.

You're a kid at heart.

You want to do something with your life and are working toward it.

You enjoy the art of thought.

You would like to be my friend.

You dare.
