Well, I love to be crazy around people I don't know-- as to give them a lasting impression of myself. Once you've known me for more than 3 days, however, I become pretty boring.

Well, at least, that's how it worked out for me.

This, of course, excludes those who like to have actual, stimulating conversations; personally, i find it surprisingly difficult to have a great conversation with myself. Maybe it has something to do with this ISFP thing?

::UPDATE:: Someone lied to me. THIS makes way more sense!

Biding my time. And enjoying every second of it.

Smiling, running around in a circle, sprinting in an effort to catch flying objects, being insane, faking sanity, analyzing unnecessary things, appreciating irony, cropping my photos for their maximum enigma-potential (or so I'm told), composing photographs, using concise diction, proofreading, keeping my infinitives intact, imbibing overly-stimulating beverages, taking naps with other people, commentating life unconventionally, being impulsive, creating parallel sentence structures...

I talk about being naked quite a bit.. probably too much. I guess it scares away all of the "bad" people though. Fie on clothes!

It's probably slightly more logical, rather, to believe that they're really just noticing my hair first. Or maybe my teeth. Or my unusually muscular build.

It really just depends on what's important to the observer in question.

I like to say I'm pretty diverse musically (i.e. "I listen to everything"), but so many people say that that it's become a totally meaningless phrase.

Endorphins, eye contact, randomly executed travel plans, witty rhetoric complete with extensive vocabulary, everything listed under the previous question, and sunlight.

Who came up with circumcision, seriously?

But more importantly-- why?

Note: By the way, this is a RHETORICAL question. Otherwise I would just bite the bullet and look it up rather than spend so much time THINKING about it (ref. above question.).

Looking for somewhere to belong. And a means by which I may acquire a full tank of gas and a destination.

I am somehow able to derive silly amounts of pleasure from flossing.

You like to go on random road trips and not sleep at night (not necessarily at the same time, but possibly). Also! If you're into making up new words, I'm sure we'll have some interesting conversations--well, at least potentially interesting conversations.
