Telling horrible puns that cause groans. Pretending I can play guitar. Impractical sleight-of-hand. Not cleaning my room. Little kids. Going to shows. Pretending to be smarter than you are. The smell of new books, cards, CD inserts. Professional Procrastinator. Fixing things. Cameos in old television sitcoms. Recurring characters in book, movie, or tv form. Jack Bauer. Words.
People who are neat (in the nice way, not the clean way, but that's cool I guess too). People who are passionate about things, and can get through awkward silences with me. And Ravi Fernandes.
