Things I like:
reading, writing, cooking, rudimentary DIY projects (Bob Vila I ain't), saying ain't even though I'm quite apt with the English language, holding conversations that are inappropriate for my surroundings (churches, workspaces, children's birthday parties), dancing like a white boy, working out, irises, theatre, art in all its forms (except the ones I don't like), puns, leaving odd voicemail messages, unusual Halloween costumes, saying "your face" and "really, with that?"

I am honest, funny, and intelligent

wit

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I think about this question. I think about things. Things ranging from a pebble I see on the sidewalk to the nature of reality and man's relationship to reality. I think about a lot. Just not all at once :-)

either working or at the gym working out. Or working out after working.

In a world increasingly void of privacy, I'm not entirely sure I'm willing to give up my secrets just because I'm asked to for an essay.
Hmm. I have a more-than-sneaking suspicion that no matter what I do or how I look, I will never quite fit in.
...and that may be just a *bit* too private.

you have a great sense of humor, are artistic or appreciative of the arts, and you're decent.
