Dork Meme

gummobrux shot this across my bows:

1. I'm interested in way too many things.

2. The things that interest me, interest me way too much.

3. I am fascinated by themes of war, violence, and comedy.

4. I am relentlessly creative, but in useless ways.

5. My interests colour the way I deal with people. Or is it the other way around?

Time does not permit lengthy explanations here today. Maybe more later.

I won't name five other dorks on my friends list, but if this meme interests you, please pick it up for yourself.
