I've got most of my life pretty well squared away -- my family and friends are great, I have a job that I love, I like where I live. My spare time is spent mostly on movies, cooking or going out to dinner, hiking, and reading. I run most days, although admittedly not very far. I like all sorts of games (to that one person who emailed me: no, I'm not talking about the playing-with-your-head kind. OR AM I??). I love motorcycles and ride mine everywhere.

I once almost drove a car into the Grand Canyon. As a young boy I was attacked by a pack of ravenous kangaroos. I have a Top Secret government security clearance. I was struck by lightning a couple of years ago. While in Hong Kong as a teenager, some stranger tried to recruit me into a child-pornography ring. One of those things isn't true. If you correctly guess which one, I'll leave a comment in your profile saying you're brilliant and beautiful.

I'm interested in someone smart and funny. I don't care that much what you do for a living or where you are politically, as long as you've thought about why you are where you are. Hopefully you like motorcycles. Update: I'm going to amend that "I don't care what you do for a living or where you are politically" bit. If your politics could be described as, say, "revolutionary socialist" or "neoconservative," you should move right along. Also, if your job is something like "drug dealer," you should probably look at my job before you email me and tell me that.

PS I was just looking at my profile, and on the right it says I'm similar to some guy whose main photo is his sixpack abs. I am not similar to that guy. Honest. For one thing, I don't have sixpack abs.

For work, I'm a criminal prosecutor, which I love. Outside of that, I'm enjoying life, traveling more, and trying out this OKCupid thing.

Avoiding direct answers to questions like this one. Although I'm pretty good at Guitar Hero. And trials.

I could fill the entire internet with this answer. I read a LOT, so it's tough to pick my favorite books. I usually read fiction (often science fiction), history, and philosophy. I read a lot of books about critical thought, skepticism, and how people's belief and memory systems work. And police reports. Loads of police reports. The last book I read was "Cryptonomicon," current reads are "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark," and "The Time-Traveler's Wife."

I'm a big movie guy, so again it would be hard to pick my favorites. The best movies of 2007 were No Country for Old Men and Zodiac. Best movies of 2006 were Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men. It would be impossible for me to settle on the best movies of all time. I loved the Lord of the Rings movies, everything by the Coen brothers, and just about anything put out by Pixar. The Princess Bride, 12 Monkeys, The Sixth Sense, Secretary, Kissing Jessica Stein, Wag the Dog, I could go on and on. I will see pretty much anything with Robert Downey Jr. in it no matter how bad it looks. If Uwe Boll filmed Robert Downey Jr. taking a dump, I would probably go see it in IMAX.

I listen to a fair amount of music but I'm not INTO music the way a lot of people are -- mostly I listen to Jack FM, KROQ, that sort of thing. I'm a huge They Might Be Giants fan.

1. I'm tempted to put stuff like "food, water, air," but I bet everyone makes that joke.

2. I'm not sure what I really could NEVER do without. I would put "my family" because they're the most important thing to me, but if they all died in a plane crash I would still go on with my life.

3. So I guess the honest answer is "nothing."

4. But if what you really want to know is what things are the most important to me, I'd say immediate family (parents & brother), my work, books, and I dunno, the internet. Am I allowed to put abstract concepts like "liberty" and "justice"? Does that make me sound like the Pledge of Allegiance?

5. I mean, do people put stuff like "coffee" or "snooze alarm" here?

6. This is a weird and broken question. That's my final answer.

Saturday is the time I like to go out to movies and dinner and whatnot. Fridays I usually unwind from the week by talking to friends, watching DVDs, playing games, maybe cooking at home. Unless when talking to my friends, they say "Let's go out." Then I go out.

Obviously anything I'm wiling to "admit" to the entire Internet is not really that private to begin with, so look elsewhere for your titillation, you prying weirdo.

You are Angelina Jolie and have finally come to your senses about that Brad Pitt character and decided to try dating a real man.

Or if you just feel like it. What's the worst that could happen?

NEW! You can now take The ULTIMATE Rywill Compatibility Test. Not sure whether we'd get along? This test will put all your fears to rest so you can sleep at night.

PS Just kidding Brad Pitt. I think you're pretty manly.
