Generally I would describe you as very expressive and you tend to have a larger personality than average.

It can be a double-edge sword, very fun to be around but maybe a little intimidating, to some, when you are hurt or angry.

For me, it isn't a bad thing. I've always enjoyed your company and never have felt intimidated by you even when you have had a bad day.

Hmm. I was so shy for so much of my life it's sometimes hard to imagine that I have a big personality. But all evidence points toward it.

I know that when I've had a bad day, I can be quite vociferous. It's mostly a decompression thing, where I'm just venting. But I think, in retrospect, that I may have scared the shit out of any number of people doing that...

Hmm.

Thank you.

Babe, I'm the wrong person to ask.

This was an infinitely cheering post.

Thank you very much, Bill!

There are three different responses your post has me wanting to make

This person and I are on different wavelengths and it's taking quite a while for us to tune into each other. I think we're managing it, but it's slow going. I suspect that we'd be unlikely to be friends if we weren't working together, which is an entirely different and thought-provoking topic.

I look horrible in photographs in general. I've always suspected it's because so much of whatever attractiveness I have is in my personality, not in my appearance, and since most photographs can't capture movement/energy, I just look like a no-chin cranky bitch.

Yeah, this is a thought-provoking topic for me, too. I have a great appreciation for the role of "co-worker" in my life. There are people at school I'm fond of and we get along great, but I couldn't really see myself hangin' with them outside of that environment. And there are people I don't much like at all with whom I have to find a wavelength and deal and they have to do the same to deal with me. I like to believe that the practice in resonating on different wavelengths helps keep us flexible. It's a big topic, though, definitely.

This made me laugh. Thank you, my dear. See you at the Picnic.
