So, some of you may know about me going 'er, okaaaay' about the fact that people, when introing me as part of a group, tend to go, 'well, that's D, she's a writer, F, nuts about the films of Harrison Ford, G works in editorial, and this is Heather. She's just...Heather.' This happens in pretty much every social context if I'm present. My *family* does this. The only other description I ever hear is how to identify me in a crowd at a convention which is 'short, blonde, not wearing any clothing'.

Then I listened to four interviews where they have a meme where they ask the interviewee to sum up people they've worked with in one word.

So. Those of you who know me in real life. Describe me to a stranger. A phrase, a word, a sentence, whatever. It can be physical, personality, which ever works best in the way you normally describe people (some people think in terms of physical attributes, some in terms of mental impressions).

And now, off to Tescos....

Argh, that's possibly even worse, due to the robotic overtones.

(As in: 'You're a feisty little one, but you'll soon learn some respect!')

On second thoughts, can I retract 'effervescent' and just say 'fun' instead?

:cough: feisty tends to be the trigger word for resultant broken teeth if ever applied to females within the hearing of any girls I know. it's in the same territory as 'you're cute when you're angry'.

To which the obvious response is:

"...and you're at your best when you're a bleeding heap on the floor."
