A few days ago, I asked my friend to described me with just three words. I had read somewhere that an interaction designer used this \”game\”–asking everyone she knew to describe her with three words–to define her identity in order to design her portfolio to fully represent herself. But with my complex personality–not always perfect and not always smart, I was slightly surprised by the responses I got.

I believe that people don\’t change. That only perspectives really do. But in some way, I have changed since I was in undergrad. I am more likely to state my emotions and opinions in the open. I learned that if I kept all of this inside, especially anger and the like, the worse it would become for me. That only talking about them openly would help me the most.

But some words were: intelligent, honest, loyal/true to yourself and what you believe in, reliable, steadfast, witty and unconventional.

Emphasis on the unconventional. On the way I deal with people, said my friend. I have always wanted to be different. A la Mike Fernando. A la 50 year old man @ 10 pm. A la meeting random guys.
