I think my friend's mom was referring to my appearance when she described me that way, but it may have been my general disposition.

I'm a dad. I'm a friendly misanthropist. I cried every day for two weeks when my dog died. I don't sleep well when I use a cliché. I'm good at voices. I'm good at making people sound better, more like themselves. My default editing setting is Intense But Dispassionate. I like doing jokes but I'm afraid to try standup. I don't like wasting food.
