-A guy once told me he thought I was just another dumb blonde until we talked. I take that as a compliment - it's fun proving people wrong.
-I go to the gym a lot and lift pretty heavy, and whereas I look "normal" in my everyday life, I guess I'm buff for a girl when I flex. People are surprised when I show them (pictures), and especially if I tell them what I weigh. I am much heavier than I look! (Thankfully it's not the other way round??)
-My face just looks serious if I don't smile, and before people get to know me, they think I'm grumpy, unapproachable and "strict". However, I never hold grudges, and I can go from looking super annoyed to laughing in one second. I know I can seem callous, but I've heard I'm actually not too bad! Interestingly, there are also some people who have only seen my happy, extroverted side. I'm actually VERY introverted and can't be around other people for too long.
-People are surprised when I tell them I'm spiritual. I guess I seem like someone who would be atheist(??)
-I travel alone around Europe/USA and I love it. The standard reaction is "OMG I would never do that. You're so brave." Um.. Thanks.
-I have a dark sense of humor that a lot of people are shocked and offended by.
