Riddles

Things that are absolutely true about me:
-I have red hair
-I absolutely love dogs
-I really, really, really like runny yolks
-I enjoy talking about several subjects without getting tired of them: Europe, France, French music, food, socialism, pop culture
-I am lazy and enjoy procrastinating
-I tend to blame other people for things (ie if someone is insulted by my sense of humor, it's because they're too sensitive, have a bad sense of humor, or something along those lines)
-I hate mingling
-I like people, for the most part
-I stare at strangers too much and don't particularly like eye contact when I'm talking, ironically
-I generally prefer the ridiculous to the serious
