how they feel about the weather
whether they dog ear pages or highlight in books
fingernails
and hands in general
their preferred creative outlet
how much they dread/enjoy talking on the phone
whether or not they drink coffee
if they ever forget to eat
how honest they are with themselves (and others)
if they correct your grammar
and whether or not they get nervous before haircuts.

1. I try my best to be friendly to waiters and waitresses, but I am also very cautious and reserved, as I am with anyone I don't know. I often get nervous about interactions with strangers, although I have been trying to work on that!
2. I absolutely love rain. I was just talking to my mom yesterday about this, and I told her that rain often makes me happier than sun. Rain brings with it a sort of contentment for me that sunny days lack. Sunny days are ripe with possibility and when I have no purpose to accompany it, that possibility seems daunting and overwhelming. Rainy days are soothing, and give me a reason to breathe in deeply for a moment.
3. I absolutely hate writing in books. I keep my books in the most pristine condition, and when they get messed up it bothers me to no end. I think that books bring out my touch of OCD, and I cannot stand it when books are written in or highlighted - it distracts me and I feel like it takes away from the original book.
4. My fingernails are always very short, since I play guitar. I paint them colors occasionally, but usually they are bare or coated with a clear or light pink polish.
5. My hands are very strange. Many people have told me I have pretty hands, but once you look closely, you can see the little imperfections. Firstly, I have callouses on the tips of my fingers on my left hand from guitar. Secondly, my middle fingers curve outward so much that they actually look deformed. I'm not sure why that is but my friend told me never to flip anyone off. Ever.
6. My preferred creative outlet is music. When I feel stressed or overly emotional, I play my guitar and it instantly calms me down. I used to write songs all the time, but I haven't done that in a while. I also enjoy drawing, but I usually don't think to do that when I'm upset or in need of something cathartic.
7. I have mixed feelings about talking on the phone. It definitely depends on who it is, and sometimes I don't enjoy it. But I often like telephone calls - they are so much more personal and intimate than texts, but still not as intimate as speaking in person. I cannot stand it when people start fights over text, and even over the phone.
8. I don't drink coffee on a regular basis. I will occasionally drink it for the caffeine, but I much prefer tea. I do like coffee drinks sometimes, like lattes (especially pumpkin spice) or cappuccinos. And I love coffee ice cream!
9. I do sometimes forget to eat. This usually happens in the summer, when I have less of a routine, and I will just be out doing things or I'll be busy at home and I'll forget to eat lunch or dinner.
10. Honesty is so hard sometimes. I always try to be real about things though, especially with myself. I don't think I ever lie to myself. I almost never lie to other people, either, especially not about big things. Honesty is so important in relationships, and I always do my best to be honest with everyone.
11. I frequently correct grammar in my head. I usually don't say it out loud, unless it's necessary. But I don't want to be remembered as the grammar nazi!
12. Before reading this list, I thought that I was the only one who got nervous for haircuts. Now I realize that maybe other people get nervous about the actual hair getting cut, but I dread talking to the hairstylist. I am the worst at small talk (when I was 10, my dad actually bought me a book on how to make small talk) and so speaking to anyone I don't really know is physically painful. So yes, I get very nervous about haircuts.
