So, I just finished studying for and taking the bar exam in New York. It was hellish, but it's over. Now I'm a happy camper, and I am getting ready to move to the DC area on September 4th, at which time I'll be starting a government attorney job. I'm really excited for the move, and I'm looking forward to exploring DC.

I like good conversation, smart people, and chocolate. I also really want a dog (but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get one for a while).

Some things I'm interested in: news, politics, journalism, Star Trek, cars, airplanes, airlines, travel, reading, writing, thinking, debating.

Not entirely sure yet. I want to be happy. And I want to travel a lot.

As far as my professional life goes, I'm about to start my first real job in a new city. It's about 80% exciting and 20% scary.

Writing. I think I can confidently say that I'm a good writer. And I think I'm pretty good at making people laugh. Especially people who like lame puns.

People seem to like my eyes. They're blue. For some reason, eyes are not usually something I consciously notice on other people. I mean, I notice that they're there. I'd probably be freaked out if I met someone who had no eyes. But I don't notice eye color or shape. Those sorts of things. You know.

In law school, it was hard to find time to read for fun. I know some people who did it, but I'm convinced that they are either addicted to stimulants or were bitten by some kind of spider as a child that modified their physiology so they no longer need to sleep. I'm hoping to read actual books again soon.

As far as movies, I think I have pretty varied tastes. A few of my favorites are Catch Me If You Can, The Bourne Identity, Rushmore, Airplane!, Wall-E, Donnie Darko, Get Real (one of the better gay movies), V for Vendetta, Children of Men, and Batman Begins.

Music is great, but I don't listen to enough of it. I'm always looking for new music to enjoy. Here's a representative sample: Franz Ferdinand, Vampire Weekend, The Decemberists, OK Go, Justin Timberlake, Chromeo, the B52s, and Coldplay.

Much to the chagrin of many people I know, I have very boring tastes in food, and am somewhat picky. I don't like too much flavoring or seasoning. I eat a lot of chicken, pasta, potatoes, and eggs. I also really love cookies (usually with some kind of chocolate in them). I don't like sushi (but I tend to like people who like sushi).

Cookies, friendship, Google, Wikipedia, weekend naps, the Krebs cycle.

The world, the law, justice, other people's problems, my own relatively petty problems.

Hmm. Friday nights can vary. I usually prefer quiet nights at home to raucous nights of crazy partying. I like board games, movies, and other laid-back stuff. I'm definitely not a loner, but I prefer hanging out with friends one-on-one, or in small groups.

I'm not much of a drinker, although there are a few things I like.

I also suck at dancing. I had to be coerced into dancing at my own Bar Mitzvah, and let me tell you, it was awkward.

I almost never cry...but for some reason, OnStar commercials make me come close.

You think we'd get along, don't want to just hook up, and can carry on a decent conversation.
