If I'm honest, I try to remember small details and little things about everyone I meet. You never know when these things will become important, and it gives interest and depth to your relationships. I'm the kind of person who remembers how my friends and acquaintances order food and drinks. I pay attention to the types of shoes they wear, and I soak up any details people tell me about their lives. Where was their favorite place to play growing up, what is their favorite song? Do they love or hate sea mammals? Do they like fry sauce, and if they do, do they like it with pickle bits in it?
I don't have a whole lot of preferences when it comes right down to it, but I do like to see other people happy. I like to try and give objective observations when people ask me, and advice if they want it. I'm not necessarily a chameleon, but I'm the most neutral color you've ever seen (really look at a picture of me, I'm mostly beige). I have friends from all walks of life, and I take pride in actually knowing real things about them. I may be terrible with names, but I can remember whether or not you are an AC/DC fan.
I suppose this is how I learned to fit in and cope with moving a lot. I'm fascinated by the world and people around me, and I want to be a part of it. Usually a minor background role, but part of it none the less. Ask me a minute detail of your life, if we've ever actually hung out, I can probably answer it.
