About Me

I'm probably hittin the books at law school right now... Wishing that I were sipping cheap beer on an obscure beach in a country with a State Department Travel Warning and good spicy food.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who hang out at the Raven or Dr. Dreamos, good cooks, musicians, social justice activists, runners, bikers, DCites who hate networking, the person who stole my bike.
