sometimes negatively, sometimes with trepidation, sometimes happily! nevertheless, these are a few traits that often find their way into the center of attention.

• my hair. it's blond and hard to keep under control! it's voluminious, slightly wavy and beautiful.
• i am shy. i keep my personal details out of public eye, but am more than willing to share these things with friends. this is the reason for my disinterest in social networking sites.
• i know how to book-bind. i taught myself in high school!
• my tattoos. i have one beneath my left collarbone (hidden save in late summer months; holy heat!) and another beneath my right ear (this one gets a lot of attention.)
• i tend to keep to myself in public. this is because i'm shy or busy in my head. between 25 hour work weeks and 18 hour class weeks, i'm quite occupied! and sometimes, i'm just tired of the incessant banter.
• i hold eye contact when listening and speaking. this is not very common in contemporary society.
• i (pleasure) read a lot. this is also very uncommon, especially at university.
• i don't mind admitting that i don't have a lot of money. money is just money and doesn't define a person or life quality, but this can make people uncomfortable.
