I'm a young hippie. I'm clever but careful, capable of but not prone to fiery displays of wit. Caring and considerate, I enjoy providing for Family and friends, secure in the conviction they will help me.

I am fiercely Green & Purple!

Travelling, meeting Family and friends, and learning the skills I'll need to move through life.

Listening, talking, noticing, confusing (myself and others), and making bad jokes funny. Also, misplacing my face.

BAD JOKES ALL DAY! Seriously, I know all the bad jokes. I've got a bad joke for every occasion. I actually got a compliment the other day about this from someone I've known just over a year. He said to me, after I delivered a particularly bad joke, "Ya know, Pirate, your humor has just gotten worse, consistently, for a year. And that's really pretty impressive, as I didn't think you could do that. But the jokes, they just get worse and worse."

What did I say when they lit a forest fire on us? "Why do ducks have flat feet? For stamping out forest fires. Why do elephants have flat feet? For stamping out flaming ducks."

I even write bad jokes. Why wouldn't the sheep listen to their shepherd? Because they'd HERD it all before.

Oh yeh. That's punny.

Furthurmore, I'm pretty good at being subtle. Innuendo is my BITCH! I hate it when I'm trying to get people to notice I'm not being literally and have to wink at them something fierce to get them to realize that, when I say "book," I don't mean book. Daftness irritates the hell outta me, which I guess is sorta the mirror rule in effect, as I can be pretty daft sometimes.

I also enjoy multiple entendre. I think my current record is quadruple.

I'm also good at raising my voice in public places to sell or give stuff away. Sometimes, I think I shouldda been an 18th century crier.

My dreads, my glasses, or my big bushy beard when I haven't shaved.

Honestly, though, I'm not really sure. Those're only a guess.

6) Dreaming

My brain - I like to spend time visualizing how I store information. I like to think it improves my recall. Right now, it's a ship. This metaphor has actually been really useful in training my subconscious for various purposes, such as gathering my belongings before I leave a place. Sometimes this gives me headaches, though.

People's behavior - Though more afterwards than during. I also tend to daydream how potential situations might play out. Often, anymore, I find that the do play out in similar fashion to how I imagined them, and that my thinking on the subject allows me improved control. Maybe it's quantum?

Love - So many kinds, so many people, so many things. "We were in love with the people that we hadn't even met. . ." - John Hartford

Language - I love and despise it. Word play is a ton of fun (see above regarding entendre, puns, etc), but it is also so very inadequate (which I suppose is where a lotta the humor comes from). I mean, people are entirely capable of having thoughts that can't be expressed in words..

Hard to find. There's no one place I'll consistently be.

I don't know how to whistle.

there's something you wanna ask/tell me.

Also, if you wanna drop everything, run away, and join a hippie tribe. I'm kinda the guy for that.
