I'm Part hermit, part social blessing. I'm a music lover who only really loves about 10 songs but can never recall or spell the names correctly. I am a little bit dysfunctional and catch myself thinking that functional people are not really people. I have big dreams but don't really work too hard at fulfilling them. I realize the importance of making your own little conclave of good living despite the rest of the world. I do yoga and eat well 5 days a month and sometimes I go to music shows.

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
(Fritz Perls, 1969)

My eyesight and hearing, maybe my legs.

Death.

Sitting at home listening to music by myself.

Is that on Friday nights I am sitting at home listening to music by myself.

If you want to.
