Describe yourself.

How does one describe oneself in 140 characters? If you're not familiar with this, I'm talking about the description or Bio part on Twitter which basically gives an introduction of the tweeter. I've seen many kinds of intros. Some are long and standard looking. Some sums up what they are currently engaged in, and others put down even lesser than the limit by describing who they are within 1 to 5 words. So, how can you describe yourself.

Obviously you pick and choose the characteristics that you want to put in. But how honest should you be? It's Twitter. Why put something true? Nobody's gonna know right? Some Tweeters believe that less is more, so they give you less. My Bio used to read something like "A hybrid between an old supermodel and elephant genes". What does it even mean? I thought it'd be funny. See I like certain vintage stuff and well I am kind of tall, that's where the old supermodel comes from. Elephant genes, I lean towards the heavier side you see. It's not meant to be taken seriously, just trying to poke fun at myself.

Unfortunately, doing this might trigger something else altogether. Readers might not at all take you seriously and think that you're all play and no work. That you're a joke even though the introduction does in a way give out something that describes you albeit being in an exxagerated manner. So then how else do you give out something without totally being open to the public? It's like taking a picture, I think. Taking pictures means capturing the moment. Some does it to capture the essence of the scenery. When you take pictures at different angles, they give out different meanings. A description of oneself can only mean one thing, it's only a matter of perspective.

How do I describe myself? The long or standard version would be: "A 22 year old woman who's currently pursuing a degree in Law and still lives with her parents". The summing-everything-I'm-engaged-in description of myself would be: "A daughter, a friend, a cousin, a girlfriend, couch potato, avid movie buff and a lawyer in the making". But that sounds a little bit to ridiculous to me. So if you see my Twitter Bio, it reads "Somewhere in the in between" it's a tagline from the book Lovely Bones and does decribe me right now at this particular part of my life. I am neither at the start nor am I at the end. I'm floating through life, taking in whatever comes to me. Despite not being at all graceful in handling it, I still manage nevertheless and I'm not stopping until I've reached the end.
