stealing a meme

I usually just observe these in everyone else's LJ with interest, but this one I think I'll swipe myself, from various people including ACat. (I'm not going to do the 100 List, even though every one else's fascinate me, because any time I try to list things about myself I faint from an acute attack of selfconciousness. Besides, I can't think of 100 things to say about myself that are both interesting and things I'm willing to put in a public space.) This particular meme seems to be spreading quite rapidly!

In comments, please list 5 things you'd tell someone who didn't know me about me, if they asked you about me. Or alternatively, just list 5 adjectives/characteristics you think I am/have.
