Posture: Slouchy McSloucherson
Right / Left Handed: Right
Typical gestures: Running a hand through his hair, shrugging, twirling/fiddling with whatever is in his hands, and rubbing his eyes because always sleepy.
Typical body language: Usually very lax. Manspreads a whole lot, though not intentionally. Often sits slouched over with his elbows on his knees or jumps at any opportunity to put his feet up. His shoulders are often slouched, which is a product from hours in the lab and that self-conscious slumping that comes from hitting his growth spurt super early and feeling weird about being a head taller than everyone in his class for a few years. Doesn’t always avoid eye contact, but isn’t great at making consistent eye contact.
Typical tone: Very level. His tone doesn’t change super often unless he’s very stressed or very high, in which case his voice gets higher and a little frantic lol. There is definitely a degree of ambivalence in the sound of his words -- a sort of laziness.
Hobbies: Skateboarding, watching horror movies, RC helicopters, binging junk food, and weed 420 babey.

When the moon is in the trees
When all your castles turn
To penitentiaries”

The dance will carry on
And you'll rot down in your grave
With the souls you couldn't save”

Sit down with the Gintlemen”

Tagged by cutie-sunraye for 6 random facts about me!
1) I have to sleep on the ground if I have a headache, backache, stomach ache…pretty much if I’m in pain at all.
2) I forgot how to speak hebrew after leaving private school
3) I sit in a little alcove in the back of my mom’s closet with my music on high and it completely dark if I’m in any sort of emotional turmoil
4) I almost choked my dad out yesterday when we were wrestling and I laughed?
5) I’m allergic to celery
6) I can literally forget to breathe. Like it’s supposed to be some natural subconscious process but I’ll just randomly stop breathing.

So I wanted to know when I started laughing in haunted houses and apparently when I was like 4 my parents took me to the haunted house in Six Flags and I got bored and even tried to hug the scariest actors…
