Okay, here goes. I'm Joel. I'm twenty-four and fresh out of a three year partnership, just trying to test the waters. I'm an ENFP, for what that's worth. My life is mostly made up of three things - Walt Disney World, music, and food. I'd like to think I'm a gentleman - but not entirely refined.

I'm simultaneously idealistic and bitter. I can muster up wide-eyed wonder while slinging caustic jabs at friends - but all in good fun, of course. That doesn't mean I'm angry or upset, just that sharp wit was a means of survival in my family. I'm able to flow easily from glitzy to glib to erudite to existential to mellow to mile-a-minute without blinking; if you can keep up, you'll do fine. And I promise it will never be boring.

I'm an Attractions cast member at Walt Disney World - it's the perfect job for me. I grew up here in Orlando, and what that really means in my case is that I grew up in the Parks. Most of my major childhood memories take place in and around EPCOT. I'm not in school right now - mostly trying to work as much as possible while still giving myself time for creative outlets.

Playing piano and reading people. Though I've let the piano thing go a bit from the halcyon days of senior year :/

Sadly, my height. Although the last person I asked said my facial features... Apparently I look hand-drawn, or some such.

EPCOT, my mini-recording-studio, the works of Oscar Niemeyer and Eero Saarinen, the ability to catnap, my iMac, and Wikipedia.

Design choices in public spaces, Disney attraction history, the Future-With-A-Capital-F, and the way sounds feel.

Working at one of the attractions in my area. One disadvantage of being a Cast Member - Friday isn't actually Friday.

I feel every emotion more intensely than I probably should.

And I'm synesthetic.

Your higher functions are intact, and you're similar to me - and therefore wouldn't be opposed to a bit of recursive narcissism. Also if you think patterny or stripey tank-tops are wretched and reek of unbridled douchebaggery.

Following the thought process of the first statement is also pretty much a requirement.
