I wouldn't say that I was shy. Just reserved at first. You know how it is; you want to make a good impression and not shamelessly insult someone within the first 5 minutes. But then you hit minute 6, and things change; anything's game - from politics to shoe design, and bus fares to ethics. Whatever happens, happens.

I'm definitely an idealist. I love to discuss ideas. I'm pretty optimistic about life, but I'll argue a negative point if I need to. I'm a pretty open person to talk to. I actually deal with a lot of foreigners where I work, so it gives me a different perspective on life :)

Don't ask me where I grew up. There is not enough time in the day for me to tell you where I grew up, lol. I'm not from Florida originally, is a good place to start.

All right, so, most people find me pretty well mannered. And laid back; I'm very 'go with the flow'. Plus I'm pretty inquisitive - three character traits that sometimes don't go well at all together. But I make it work :) Also, if you get to know me long enough, you'll discover that I'm a little bit forgetful at times, so sorry about that, lol. And I'm just darn-awful at remembering names.

Going to school full-time, and working part-time. Last year of undergrad, and hopefully there will be grad school in the future~

Being the mediator/peacemaker. If things get heated, I tend to calm people down and then try get everyone to come to a conclusion or an "agree to disagree" place. I'm not forceful about it (I'm not forceful about much, really), but it just happens. Why be bitchy (oops...can I say that here? >.> <.< >.>) when there's so much else out there to appreciate?

I laugh a lot. And a lot of people tell me I look like Tiger Woods.

Working. -social failure-

Every two weeks or so, I crave something creamy. I crave it. Yogurt, Ice Cream, Milk, those Smoothies from Sonic, anything milk based. I just find it really weird because my mom's lactose intolerant.

I relish shocking people with my "ethnic heritage". If I don't tell someone that I'm half white within the first couple of days, whenever I get around to it, they're shocked. It kind of starts to feel like telling someone you're double-jointed.

And, I sometimes have to shop in the boys department cause their clothes fit better. It's funny, because I don't look that small, so I've always just assumed that American kids have gotten huge.

You think we might have something to talk about :)
