Identity, Sexuality & Personality
Gender identity: AMAB
Sexual preference: Sentient
Romantic preference: Relatively sane
"Kinsey Scale" score: 3
Myers/Briggs type: INFP
Hogwarts house: uh, Davion. Silent Strider. I guess I'll go for Gryffindor if we gotta use the unfamiliar idiom.
Routine
"Early Bird" or "Night Owl": Both. This doesn't exactly work out so well.
First thought in the morning: Usually don't remember this.
Last thought before falling asleep at night: So tired!
School/Work
Do you work or are you a student: Currently employed at soul-numbing day job!
What do you do well: I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very interesting.

Habits (Do you…?)
Drink: infrequently
Smoke: infrequently (I'm still working on the pack of cigs I got in mid-February)
Do drugs: not about to answer here.
Exercise: not really. I walk everywhere but does that really count?
Have a go-to comfort food: Stuff like Chef Boyardee, or the horrible Underwood sandwich spreads, or those horrible canned tamales.
Have a nervous habit: checking Twitter frequently in vague hopes of being reminded that there's stuff outside my job I like.
What is your favorite…?
Physical quality (in yourself): Green eyes.
In Others: Brown eyes
Mental/emotional quality (in yourself): Adaptive, I guess.

FA+

I felt I was a total moron the entire time I was there. Because they have a general sciences focus and are near waterways the laboratory has an Oceanography department, so I spent a lot of time in the Oceanography library and in the big Olympic sized swimming pool.
