1. What about you makes you unique?

Snark: my DNA.
Real answer: where I've been in my life, physically, emotionally, spiritually, decisions I've made....

2. What aspect of your physical appearance do you think makes you stick out from the crowd?

I don't stick out from the crowd. I've been asked many times if I used to live [next door to them, in Delaware, or whatever] or whether I was a student at [pick a college]. It's never anyplace I've been.
On the other hand, I like my nose. Thanks, Dad!
And I like the way my teeth look. Thanks, Dr. Engman, for the orthodontia!

3. What do you always have with you while out in public? (for example, earrings, purse, wallet, watch, etc.)

Always? My rings and my glasses. And clothes. Everything else is negotiable.

4. Is there anything about your body that you think isn't normal?

Heh. I don't have too many weird characteristics. Some scars, some missing teeth (only 24 due to the above orthodontia--not gaps), some missing organs. My hair is occasionally abnormal, but mostly only in the summer when it gets really hyper.

5. What are you complimented on (looks, smarts, anything) the most? Why do you think that's the case?

Smarts. Not to be rude, but...well, I appear smart. Being a librarian doesn't help in that area (although, y'know, there are some fucking STUPID librarians around, people--don't assume!).
Beast has his favorite geography, but I think that's more his issues than part of the real world the rest of us live in. :-)
Someone fairly recently called me "kind." I think that's a 'kind' way of saying nice, which was kind since I abhor the word "nice."
