reading, writing, talking in a dry uneven tone. being appropriately sarcastic and blank. playing the guitar, or attempting any other stringed instrument for that matter. listening to strange devices played by even stranger creatures under no exterior chemical influence at all. a tendency to pry, always apologetic for it, but never quite meaning it. loyal to those who have earned such a rarity. i have learned to dismiss and disregard many individuals.
