Stand-up comedy. That's the basis of my primary disorder. I'm also really into books, comics, video games and movies. I used to be a real music nut, but I woke up one day and screamed "Enough!" Now, music and I have this odd kind of relationship where we'll bump into each other in public, share an awkward look, mutter a quick "Hello" and then quickly go about our business.
I'd like to meet:
Help me Ben Browder, you're my only hope.
