Random randomocity--things you may not know about yours truly

Here are some things about me that are probably blindingly apparent to the one or two of you who bother to read this thing:

• I don't read much fiction these days. I'll read a ton of non-fiction--mostly history or biography--but don't usually read any fiction longer than the occasional novella or short story. I just lost interest in it a long time ago.
• I have no "guilty" pleasures. I love flowers. I love paintings of flowers. I like floral comforters. If I went to a concert put on by one of my favorite bands, I'd probably be the oldest person there. I'd probably also be one of the few males in attendance. If I love something, I love it, and I no longer worry about what other people may think.
• I'm really careful about whose opinions matter. I value constructive criticism from anybody--anything that makes me produce better art, or work, or live my life a little happier, is welcome, but there are only a few people in the world who can hurt me with their words if they so desire. Not that any of them would, deliberately, because they aren't like that, which is one reason they mean so much to me in the first place.
• I really have no interest in what most people do with their genitalia. Really. If you think this is a weird bullet point, look over your Facebook feed, at all the arguments against marriage equivalency. Apparently, we have a significant portion of our population who obsesses over this for some reason. No, I don't understand it, but I felt like I needed to say it.
• I'm not a big "movie" person. Really. There are an awful lot of movies out there that everyone else in the world has seen--like Pretty Woman, or Ferris Bueller's Day Off, or any of the Back to the Future movies, or just about every Tom Cruise movie--that I haven't seen. The reason is simple--I have zero interest in them. I know this may shock some people, since I write screenplays, but it's true. If I like a movie I'll obsess over it, want to know all the details, listen to the commentary tracks on the DVDs, study the script, all that. But for the most part I'm not one of those people who feels like he's going to die if he doesn't catch the latest Hollywood blockbuster or film that Everybody is Seeing.
• I'm not the most sociable person in the world.. I hope you were sitting down when you read that one. I'll take a few days off from work and not have any face-to-face interaction with another human being unless I go to the store or something until I go back to work. And I'm perfectly happy--I won't even realize it, usually, until after the fact.
• But I'm not shy. I get accused of this sometimes, but it's not true. I guess I'm an introvert. I have no problems getting up and speaking to a bunch of people--I've given presentations to a couple hundred people before, at work, and I will sing karaoke in a crowded bar and be stone, cold sober--but interacting with all those people afterwards is a big drain to me. But I don't consider myself broken--I'm happy this way.
• I love The Big Bang Theory. The TV show, that is, though I'm partial to the cosmological theory, as well.  I discovered it when TBS started showing the reruns. When I had to have my dog, Atari, put to sleep, I bought all of the available seasons on DVD and watched them over and over again. It was a big help with the chasm of grief that opened inside of me. Without that show, and the long-distance support of my best friend (who lives in California) I'm not sure I would have made it.
• I hate to travel. I know, people don't understand this one, but the idea of packing a suitcase, spending a few hundred bucks on a plane ticket, and going somewhere just so I can say I've been there, strikes me as a totally unnecessary and overly expensive pain-in-the-ass. I don't mind going somewhere for a particular reason--to visit a friend, or for work, for example--but I'm not going to Paris, say, just to say I've been there. The impulse people feel to do that is just so weird to me.

Okay, that's enough about me. Your turn.
