I've lived in New York for a bit more than 7 years, but I still find something to love about this City every day. I don't understand why everyone here expects me to have a southern accent just because I grew up in Richmond, Virginia, though.

I'm inspired by people who work hard and don't just sit around.

I listen to a lot of music and wish I could spend more time playing in bands.

I have an annoyingly large number of places in this world I would like to visit and I know how to pack pretty lightly as a result. However, I often undo the light packing by carrying unwieldy, large books around with me and this amuses my friends to no end.

I'm currently an attorney. I try not to be evil.

I seem better than most people at absorbing lots of information and, for some reason, I can elicit all kinds of unexpected confessions from people I barely know.

I also keep getting asked to ghostwrite wedding speeches, so I guess I'm pretty good at that, too.

I'm either getting compliments or complaints about my sense of humor.

This could take a while and all of these lists are subject to constant change...

Books: Moby Dick, Humboldt's Gift, and Pride and Prejudice

Movies: Singin' in the Rain, Royal Tenenbaums, Z, Suspiria, and City of God.

Music: David Bowie, Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Mogwai, Portishead, the Rolling Stones, and the Wu-Tang Clan. More recently, I've been on big Lykke Li, Warpaint, and M83 kicks.

Food: I'll eat anything my lactose intolerance will allow me to.

1) glasses/contacts - I like to see.
2) books
3) running shoes
4) my music collection
5) my bass guitar
6) my cell phone

I would say "family" and "friends," but it seems a bit sociopathic to call them "things."

- basslines
- New activities I can try.
- Random topics I've been meaning to Google.
- I've also recently been trying to remember why I downloaded Instagram. I never use it.

I'm usually catching up with friends over dinner and/or drinks.

I'm really terrible with names and wonder how obvious my ways of working around that problem are.

You're spunky. I like opinionated people.
