honestly it's a toss up i could see it going either way. he's not overly serious but is also intense in that 80's underdog john cusack-y kind of way where he's very interested in the minute but not necessarily having the whole big picture figured out. somewhat of a stoner and rambler, but also highly interested in people and the way they are. i'm thinking that he was maybe even a counselor or something along those lines before his writing career took off and he was able to do things that were less time consuming by way of a part time gig which would be how he made the transition from counseling to working at a halloween attraction.
