Sports - I like Olympic sports more than the big pro sports. I can’t stand the rabid sports mentality though.

Alcohol - Beer and a lot of hard liquors are revolting. There are a few mixed drinks I like, but I rarely drink.

Fixing Stuff - I’m pretty good at fixing things, especially computers. I’m getting into carpentry so I can build cool furniture.

Physical Humor - Generally not funny, although inexplicably I like American Pie.

Cars - Transportation. I want a big ass Volvo station wagon.

Supermodels - I think they made good extras in _Jason and the Argonauts_.

Special Effects - Special Effects + Good Story = Great Movie. Special Effects + Midichlorans + Jar Jar + Lucas’ Ego = Rancid, Moldy Cheese.

Hunting - I might try it if I was going to eat the animal. Trophy hunting is disgusting.

Video Games - I’m attempting to get a job making them. I like RPGs and strategy games, don’t like shooters.

So Legomancer, it looks like you aren’t a Macho Neanderthal Man Show Guest. I should hope this is not your goal.

The only person you should really be trying to impress is yourself.

I like football, hate cars, like video and computer games, hate beer (can’t drink it anyway), used to hunt but quit, play paintball, can fix things but usually ask my dad, hate fart jokes, and I do much of the housework.

I don’t care what people think of me because of my hobbies and traits.
