First off, I'm textbook Aries. People I don't even know end up telling me their most intimate secrets. This happens a lot. I feel like a walking confessional. I'm a good listener. I can mimic almost any voice. I can also do other peoples' handwriting. Clearly, I have the makings of a future identity theif/forger. I have a wild streak that tends to influence those around me. For ex., when I was 10, I convinced my friend's mom to drive away from a parked car she had just smashed into (resulting in this poor woman's fender literally dropping to the ground) because we were going to be stuck in traffic on our way to the beach. "Just go," I said. She did. I'm a writer and tend to view the people around me as characters with definable idiosyncracies, specific and unique lingo, epiphanies, side-struggles, etc. Everyone has a story; they're not just supporting characters in your movie. I'm 6'3" with brown hair, hazel/green eyes...was a hurdler in high school. Other stuff: I grew up 25 minutes from D.C. in Great Falls, VA; my parents are each, respectively, twins (no, not with each other...I'm not a product of incest!) and my dad's twin used to come over and pose as my dad in order to trick my sister and I; I'm related to Thomas Jefferson; I was almost kidnapped freshmen year of H.S.; I died once, didn't like it, came back; my mother looks like Princess Diana; my sister and I are named after my mother's favorite soap opera characters (I'm from "All My Children" ; my sis from "Another World"); I'm psychic having predicted at least one death, lotto numbers, and, once, the fact that my friend would encounter a thin, red snake on a mountainside at some point in the future (which he did one year later in Thailand); my dad's name is Grover and I was almost Grover Jr. Thank god for my mother and her soaps.
