elaine's strange little world

so i've posted a couple of times, and i've talked to some people about the fact that no matter where i go, i seem to present the same image to people. on the one hand, that's annoying, since there's no possibility for change (or so it seems). on the other hand, it's a little comforting to know that there's something stable about myself that stays there, regardless of where i am or who i'm with.
