I'm the "big and tall" kinda guy. No further comment.

My weight, appearance, activity and even personality type depend greatly on
my mood and mental state. I'm a raging bipolar with schizophrenic
tendencies.

I haven't worn glasses since grade school; that was for lazy-eye which was
corrected.

And my favorite language, Arabic, is VSO (usually), NA, accusative, with
Latin-like stress rules. My second favorite language, Georgian, is SOV, AN,
mixed ergative, and stress tending towards the first syllable. My third
favorite language is probably Greek, with free word order tending towards
SVO and AN and variable stress, the rules of which I don't remember too
well.
