He's a perfectly nice guy, if a little odd. And by odd, I guess I mean "normal." He doesn't do sci fi or fantasy of any kind. He's not a gamer. He had no idea what a "death star" was, when I started trying to read him the "Open Letter From the Death Star Architect Who Put the Exhaust Ports on the Death Star." He's never seen or read The Hobbit, or the Lord of the Rings movies.
He likes bluesy rock and roll, and classic rock. It's about the only thing we can connect on.
BUT OMG THE CHOMPING!!!! MURDERDEATHKILL!!!!!

Okay, that is actually not normal.

No jury of your peers would convict you. (I cut a date short once because the guy chomped with his mouth open.)
Seriously. Zero seconds it took me to be perfectly fine with murdering another human being.
Also, he keeps all his phone and computer notification sounds at SUPER LOUD MAX VOLUME! I mean, I guess I kind of get that -- he wants to make sure he doesn't miss a notification if he's in another room, but I keep everything on silent or vibrate, so his startle the crap out of me every time.
I'm with brenda. Not being a gamer or reading The Hobbit or LOTR is one thing (although in my neck of the woods those things all fit under "normal" for definitions that include "commonly shared, but not universal, traits"), but not knowing what a "death star" is?
but not knowing what a "death star" is?
Seriously, seems like that's part of the "cultural psyche" by now, like knowing who Romeo & Juliet or Adam & Eve are, despite never having read Shakespeare or the Bible.
Weird.

I dunno. Not everyone is going to know Adam & Eve is an adult products website.
t runs and hides
I remember once having to explain to someone what the Hound of the Baskervilles was ... of course, this was the same person who needed to have "opposable thumbs" explained ....
