rainstorm

Ahh I totally know where you're coming from!
Yeah it doesn't sound egotistical, just genuinely curious, everyone must wonder what first impression they leave.

How much faith do you have in first impressions? Are they a good thing or a bad thing? What are they really, but judgements made on superficial and ultimately irrelevant things like appearance, looks, clothing style etc?
OR, are these small details capable of telling you a lot about the kind of person someone is?
I guess this also depends on an individual's perceptive abilities.
Most of the time though, I find people's first impressions of me are inaccurate.
I've heard that I seem 'put together,' 'organized' and 'efficient.'
Hahahaaa riiiiight.

PS - Jack, I think your argyle sweater would counteract any ne'erdowell type feelings...

I'm now trying to convince my parents to let me go on a trip to the Dominican to help build a school. My prospects aren't looking too good, my mum thinks I don't have enough street smarts.
Sigh.

The rain is beating itself upon the side of my house, so the obvious POA for the evening is to curl up with a book and some peppermint tea. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. 19th Century China, and foot binding. Ouch.
