I'm pretty quiet until I see a chance to say something hilarious. I like spending time with small groups of close friends (rather than getting lost in a crowd of acquaintances).

Here's the funniest thing I've thought of during a dream: The difference between a parapsychologist and a parasitologist is that one makes your ghosts flee and the other makes your fleas ghosts.

My favorite things are hiking, movies, math, novels, armchair philosophy, and pizza.

I admire fire trucks. Fire trucks know where they're going. Everyone wants fire trucks to succeed, and they scramble to keep out of the way. Fire trucks aren't embarrassed when their goals require them to rush around making funny noises. I'm not a fire truck, but I'd like to be.
