Ask in comments and I'll give you five words I associate with you, for you to expound upon as you see fit. These are from darkfyre_muse.

Tea flows dark and full over the tongue, more subtle than coffee and more intricate than Coke. The ritual of Morning Tea is a sign that all is right with the world.

Leonard Cohen has a voice that goes right through you and a way with words that make you laugh and cry and twist up inside. Ring the bells that still can ring / Forget your perfect offering / There is a crack, a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in

Cosmic Encounter was, I think, the first 'real' boardgame I owned. It got an awful lot of play while I lived in Apartment Six. Sometimes I think I ought to play it more often these days.

Quotes get used because someone else has already said whatever it is I want to say, better. At least I think they have. Often that's because I don't trust how I'd say it. Which leads us into. . .

Writer is consistently the first word that comes to mind when I describe myself. One of my biggest fears is that it's not accurate. Time to do something about that.

Cosmic is an odd beast. It's too complex to be a party game, and too lightweight and chaotic to be a strategy game, and quite random, and potentially somewhat on the long side. And despite all that it manages to be a lot of fun with the right people (geeks willing to be sociable and not hyper-competitive, mostly-- still competitive, but not so much that it's the end-all be-all). It's kind of an "experience" game, where you play to be playing and to see what crazy things will happen. Sure, you're trying to win, but that's not why you play.

As for words. . . hm, tricksy with someone I don't know all that well.
