...appearance*

clothing style i like button-downs and shirts with collars to hide my problem from the public...anything that disguises my hunch
distinctive traits i don't really know how to act in front of people. i get really nervous in front of people, and i'm worried people may notice me in a bad way. i'm all too aware that my ears are lopsided, are ridiculously large, and they stick out. ironically, i can't hear well because i'm partially deaf.

"Are you single or attached?"single....I don't know many ladies outside of work and my landord.
"Where do you work?"I've worked at the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art) for three years now.
"Do you like what you do?"You see, I like it there because you're supposed to be quiet in the museum and not many people try talking to me. I can just be comfortable surrounded by the artwork and exhibits.
family
i'm an only child and was home-schooled most of my life by my dad. my mom died when i was really young. my dad never talks about her...
pets
my dad didn't let us keep pets. but i have three fish: victor, hugo, laverne. they aren't good conversationalists, but i like taking care of them.
likes i never got out much growing up. i started painting, drawing, and sculpting as a kid because i was always stuck inside. no one has ever seen my art so i guess that doesn't make me good or bad at it.
i really like rock-climbing and weight-lifting too.
dislikes AT LEAST FIVE

book title Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
backstoryQuasimodo is the bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and a barely verbal hunchback. Ringing the church bells has made him deaf. Abandoned as a baby, he was adopted by Claude Frollo. Quasimodo's life within the confines of the cathedral and his only two outlets—ringing the bells and his love and devotion for Frollo—are described. He ventures outside the Cathedral rarely, since people despise and shun him for his appearance. The notable occasions when he does leave are his taking part in the Festival of Fools—during which he is elected the Pope of Fools due to his perfect hideousness—and his subsequent attempt to kidnap Esmeralda, his rescue of Esmeralda from the gallows, his attempt to bring Phoebus to Esmeralda, and his final abandonment of the cathedral at the end of the novel.
-- Wikipedia
"It was a marvelous grimace, in effect, which shown at that moment through the rose window. After all the pentagonal , hexagonal and heteroclitic figures which succeeded each other at the window without realizing this ideal of grotesque which was constructed in the imaginations exalted by the orgy, it needed nothing less, to gain the votes, than the sublime grimace which just amazed the assembly. Master Coppenole himself applauded; and Clopin Trouillefou, who had competed, and God knows what intensity of ugliness his visage could attain, admitted himself defeated. We will do the same. We will not try to give to the reader an idea of that tetrahedonish neck, of that iron horse's mouth, of the small left eye obstructed by a hairy red eyebrow, while the right eye disappeared entirely under an enormous wart, of the disordered teeth, with gaps here and there, like the crannies of a fortress, of that callous lip, on which one of the teeth projected like the defense of an elephant, of that forked chin, and especially of all the physionomy pervading on top of all this, of that mixture of malice, amazement, and sadness. That one imagines, if one can, that ensemble.
"Or rather all of his person was a grimace. A large head covered with red hair; between two shoulders an enormous hump, of which in the front, there was a similar prominence; a system of legs and thighs so uniquely crooked that they could only touch by the knees, and, viewed in front, resembled two reaping hooks which are joined by the handle; of large feet, of monstrous hands; and, with all this deformity, there was a redoutable allure of vigor, of agility and courage; strange exception to the eternal rule which makes strength, like beauty, the result of harmony. Such was the pope that the fools chose to rule."
