sarcastic, moody, vulgar, irreverant, with random bouts of ritualistic formality.
neurotic- tendency to let imagination get way out
of hand. take inordinate delight in pondering absurd
scenarios and laughing out loud while alone. i hate affectation/pretension, but prime time tv and football games are such downers!

people who-- like to laugh at absurdities, make me laugh, laugh at my jokes, will debate
the merits of a film or album with me, have downhome sensibilities and an open mind.
people who secretly like puns and will play charades. music
lovers, language lovers, book lovers. people who know
esoteric stuff and will tell me about it. people
who don't make loud saliva noises when they talk, or
really, in general. people who are depressed by the suburbs and stripmalls.
