Dottiness and silliness definitely. Probably some of the others as well, at least at times, but I would say those two are the big ones.

Not sure I get it...... * wry smile * Folly is not a word I ever use....I'm sorry if it was a word that was assigned to you... None of these things apply to me.

Idiocy (from myself and others), Impracticality (my boss), Recklessness (my friends), Silliness (me), Triviality (my neighbor), and Vice (virtually every one I know).

Absurdity, triviality, and vice. Sounds like a good night out.
