Current stims. Fiddling with a un sharpen #2 pencil. Pacing back and forth. And talking with my hands (know this is stereotyping but think of how Italians talk and express themselves with their hands)

My routines are lack of them. Trying to get back into some kind but a 2yo and 4yo makes them impossible for me.

My meltdowns are mostly internal. But the initial is screaming at what is causing it. Which I'm trying not not due.

Little of both.

Not food really anymore. But im very picky when I eat out. But when I or my wife cooks pretty much anything goes. Drinking is sweet tea, dr pepper, water, cranberry grape juice. And alcohol. Though I try and limit that.

Rain, storms, and waves. Have a ocean storm Playlist when I really need it.

I'm a chameleon. I can fit in anywhere now. I prefer to be left alone with a book and some whiskey. But for the longest time I didn't understand social norms and was an introvert.

Main special interest is tabletop rpgs. Mainly D&D. From that i have done extensive study of human culture and history. Technology and religion. Myths and legends. From all corner of the earth. Which also helped my 2nd long lasting interests of cooking/baking. I also have had life long passion of reading (thanks to dyslexia that took and still takes allot of mental stamina to do) and martial arts. Though you can say different aspects of history are minor special interests and ive done more studies on them then others.

I only like a very select few to touch me. Otherwise no. Dont touch me. Family mostly get handshakes. And I wear long sleeve shirts even when its 110+ in texas.

I created multiple worlds in several rpg settings. Multiple black belts in a variety of martial arts. And was scouted to represent the USA in Taekwondo but didn't have the money needed for the training and travel. And couldn't find sponsors. (And found out that some sports in the Olympics are not well funded).
