wispfoxOther people have interesting descriptions of me, all of which I will be forced to paraphrase because my ability to remember things word-for-word is nonexistant.
I am a being which causes people near me to be much sillier. The number of times I have been blamed for the silliness of people around me is astounding! "I'm not this silly when _she's_ not around!" (hey, look! A good example of when it _is_ ok to be pointing and laughing at the same time!) Silliness magnification!
I have a 'talk to me about things you don't normally talk to anyone about!' vibe. The most frequent application of this tend to revolve around sex/sexuality and energy work/esp/etc type stuff. I don't mind, certainly, and I suspect the fact that I am _INSANELY CURIOUS_, especially about how people's minds work, magnifies this effect. So, apparently, does the fact that I'm fairly difficult to cause TMI reactions in (squick? Those aren't quite the same... huh! I wonder if squick needs to be on my list of words I use...) or startle (at least about things in other people's lives).
I am calming. Not entirely sure how this and the silliness magnification manage to coexist, but whatever.
I am someone who must be taken entirely on my own merits. This apparently relates to the fact that I don't use myself as a baseline for 'normal' because I tend to expect that other people will _not_ be similar to me in lots of ways.
Mmm... can't think of any more right now. But I am amused.

Becauase you don't do the non-verbal thing very much, your friends (I? :-}) quickly learn that if they want to communicate with you, they have to do so in a very verbal direct fashion. But that increases comfort about doing so in a verbal, direct fashion. If that makes any sense.

It's just that you being around adds to the fun!

(or, not. But the idea of everyone separately describing me just amuses me greatly)

When you are calm.
Kinda like me.
