Fig in a Nutshell.

+ I'm horribly good at hiding my feelings - very few people can accurately interpret my reactions.
+ I pick up phrases or gestures from the people I'm around, both in person and online.
+ I live two lives : one online, and one in "real life".
+ I hate how "in person" is known as "real life".
+ My "online life" is much more real than my "real" life.
+ I don't like the smell of coffee and as such have never tried it. However, I love cranraspberry juice.
+ I'm very sensitive to how others think of me, and often adjust my behavior to fit what they expect.
+ I cannot cry in front of anyone outside my immediate family, and then only rarely, regardless of the fact that I'm more open with my friends.
+ Through role-playing one particular character of mine, I have gotten into the habit of not capitalizing the first word in a sentence, but still capitalizing "I" and names.
+ I detest "chatspeak" and use minimal abbreviations.
+ I am able to separate my formal writing [for school] from my informal writing style [RPGs, forums, and chatting with friends].
+ I love teaching others.. not by force, but by nudging them gently out of their comfort zones and showing them that everything's still okay.
+ It is rare that I can remember any part of a conversation exactly how it was said.
+ While I understand I'm not overweight, this does not stop me from wishing I could be 15 pounds lighter.
+ I tend to view people differently than everyone else. I look beyond superficial impressions, or try to.
+ My absolute favorite horse right now is one I've bonded with. I don't ride him much, if at all, but I love how affectionate he is when I'm just standing there brushing him.
+ Once I take on a project online, I'm very dedicated to it, no matter what it is.
+ I hate letting people down.
+ People in my life have made me feel like I'm a failure, and I'm just now starting to come back from that.
+ I don't trust easily.
+ I flinch involuntarily when anyone else touches the left side of my stomach. I don't know why, but I always have.
+ I'm very shy, and have been all my life.
+ I'm jealous of many people, though I'll never tell them that - and would probably deny it if asked.

+ I'm very sensitive to the feelings and emotions of others.
+ I absolutely adore my cat, no matter how much I may rant about him.
+ I'm smart enough to get really good grades; I'm simply not dedicated enough for it.

+ People tend to take no notice of me. I blend in with the crowd.

+ After college, I want to have my own horse.
+ Despite being American, I spell many things as if I'm British.
