I dance while waiting for food. I can't drink anything hot without burning my tongue at least once. I sometimes take ten photos, hate all of them, then accidentally take one perfect picture while trying to put my phone away. And when I'm embarrassed, I smile before I even realize I'm doing it.

We've officially reached the part where you have to participate. Tell me something unusual about yourself. Give me an unpopular opinion. Confess a ridiculous habit. Ask me something slightly unexpected. You don't need the perfect line. You just need to give me something worth answering.

I usually seem calm when you first meet me. That's mostly because I'm watching. I notice how people talk, what makes them laugh and whether they're actually listening or just waiting for their turn to speak. Give me a few minutes and a reason to feel comfortable, though, and I become much harder to predict. Apparently, being quiet and being innocent are two very different things.

I photograph things nobody asked me to photograph. Rain on glass. Interesting hands. A strange little street. The way afternoon light suddenly makes an ordinary room look beautiful. I think I'm just afraid that small moments disappear too quickly. So sometimes I keep them. Maybe that's why I also remember little things people tell me.

Being loud doesn't automatically make someone interesting. I notice confidence that doesn't need an audience. Good humor. A man who can tease me and still know where the line is. Someone who actually remembers what I told him instead of starting every conversation from zero. And curiosity. Real curiosity is incredibly attractive.
