I’m an introvert, yet always a big hit at social events. I never want to go. I don’t want to talk to anyone, I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to be left alone and be at my house! My wife jokes with me about it because 80% of our social events are with her family or friends. Anytime there’s an event, all she hears is “Is Lowdown coming? Is Lowdown going to be there?” Then during events it’s all “I’m so glad Lowdown came! Lowdown is so fun!” She thinks it’s hilarious that everyone loves the shit out of me in the situations that are generally the last thing on Earth I want to be doing. ---

I’m a New Zealander and I don’t like rugby. I’m an ex-pat New Zealander living in Australia and yet I don’t live at Bondi Beach. I’ve been there a couple of times but I didn’t like it much. Can’t think of much else. I’m fairly stereotypical in most ways, sad to admit. ---

I’m a cyclist who obeys the rules of the road, including stopping at red lights, riding on the right side, and signalling turns. ---

I’m American-Israeli and I’m neither right-wing nor am I particularly religious; not to mention the fact that I can barely even stand \*visiting \*Jerusalem or the West Bank, let alone live there. ---
