He was confused that I would call myself silly. Until last night, when I strong-armed a few of my RW friends in to doing it, no one thought I was silly, when really, I think that's a huge part of my personality.

The conversation wound around to the fact that I have two distinct sides:

outsidey-me and insidey-me

You guys get to see the introspective, unsure, deep-thinking, bitchy, whiney, insidey-me. This isn't a bad thing, as I've gotten to know many of you guys, and I feel like you've gotten to know me quite well.

At least, I thought you did.

What you don't get to see much of is the outsidey-me. The outsidey-me is happy-go-lucky, determined, funny, fiercely affectionate, and yes, SILLY. The thing is, those are the parts of my personality that I'm already comfortable with. And therefore, I share those bits with everyone...

except here. Because it seems so mundane. So....every day, that I feel like it's not worth sharing.

But it is. Just like I'm learning that the insidey-me is worth sharing with the people that know the outsidey-me. That will be a slow progression, but I think it's about time you guys got to know the outsidey-me. So, for your amusement, here are [solve for X] fun facts that I have collected via email and IM services from people that know me in real life. They are facts, in no particular order. The people I asked were my cousin [Chef], friends from work, my mom, my little sister, friends from school, friends from my crafty group, and my ex [not the most recent one], Sk8rBoi. The only editing I've done has been format wise, such as adding "She does/likes/is" or changing "you" for "she". Enjoy:
