I'm finding it difficult to answer your questions VagrantFarce, but here it is. This is a bunch of information about me and it might be disorderly for your taste. It seems complicated to me, but maybe you guys will find it not as complicated.
I tend to stay emotionally detached, noninvolved in certain situations when there are people who I don't really know sitting around (Friends of my closest friends). When my friends get really excited, I tend to be emotionally detached too unless I was some how involved in the process that led to the excitement.
If we're joking around, I usually get really excited, but if something is wrong with me, which happens every now and then, I find excitement distracting, since I'm trying to figure out how to fix my problem inside my head.
When there's an argument that doesn't involve me, but involves people I'm close to, I keep to myself, even if I'm quick to find the solution and quick to understand reasons that led up to the argument on both parties. I don't like giving the direct approach to help, but I'd rather correct the situation in subtle ways. It may be getting into a similar situation myself and displaying how I might deal with it, or giving some articles to read with specific information on the issue at hand.
I find it important not to give my opinion, but to provide a healthy reasonable and, if all possible, correct answer to things. This is one reason I don't get involved in arguments, cause I need time to double check myself. I don't want to deal with it incorrectly.
But otherwise, I rather have someone else deal with the problem rather than me. I'm not one to put myself out there, but I do get a sense of joy figuring it out.
I find people and social situations fascinating. When I was growing up, I always thought about being a psychologist where I can figure people out. I would go to a cafeteria and just sit and observe people, and figure out little things about them just by the way they eat.

............ You know, just by reading that little bit about myself, I actually am very sensitive to how other people feel, but I find the need to be the controlled, calm person in any situation and not to allow my emotions to overpower any of that. Internally, I might feel an overwhelming sense of emotion but I force myself to hide it, and after a few seconds I start going into a Sherlock Homes mode. If I show emotions, its selective and appropriate for the time and situation for the reasonable betterment of the situation. Otherwise, I keep it to myself. If the timing is off, I don't show it.
A lot of times, I feel like a little kid who has to act like an adult. And this may sound weird, but you see it in television, when I myself have a terrible emotional problem, sometimes in my head, I have to talk to myself in third person. Like the reasonable adult side of me has to calm down and manage the emotional scared side of me. And I notice myself going back and forth.

I feel a need to show my artistic side too. Out of impulse... lol I don't know how much it will help in figuring me out, but, who knows, it might. Here's a work I did about a year ago.

As for your joke question... I don't like much violence and because of my moral standards and upbringing, I don't watch rated R movies, so I have to go with Where The Wild Things Are. However, I wouldn't watch the movie again because it was a bit overly emotional and left it up to interpretation. I didn't quite enjoy that. I wish it made a little more sense, but I seem I understand why the makers chose to do it that way, cause the book was that way too.
