Given some of Ty's more "distinctive features", shall we call them, I think it's hardly surprising that someone was able to actually seek him in Waterstones

I know a guy that keeps talking about how House and Philosophy is his favorite book.

Coincidentally he is a smelly fat gamer guy that wears sweatpants and has no respect for personal space.

God also thought i was this guy so i wouldnt trust in his impression that much ;)

also i dont keep any facial hair at all really. i guess i'm tall. i can see why i might seem insular. i find looking like Ty a compliment but i dont think i do look like him. im not sure on the bounce thing. i think my nervousness is more felt than displayed nowadays.
