You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.
Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you with a SPORK either way.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your LJ and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.
If you find the change above I will maybe give you a cookie.
Amber looks both ways on a one-way street because she's watching out for cyclists. I look both ways on a one-way street because I'm watching out for the criminals careening the wrong way down the street on the run from the cops, tires squealing and pistols blazing. I think this represents the difference between us.

I didn't end too strongly, but I've read more of these than I thought I had...hoorah for feeling like a rebel!
So, because I am avoiding homework, naturally I click on my one listed interest, eating people, to see how many others also enjoy this activity. I am alternately disturbed and amazed to find that 147 people have also listed this interest. That is all.
Oh wait, no it's not. Go comment on my xanga. That means YOU, bitch.
I'm so amazed, I'm on my back!
