When I was younger I used to have a lot of people thinking I was really scary or standoffish, but I was actually just shy and autistic. I didn’t have many friends at uni and on the last department party I was drunk with people on my course and they were telling me how they thought I was too cool and edgy for them and I was like “I didn’t really have many friends and I mostly sat alone” and they were like we all thought you had cool friends outside of uni and were really sorry. But that is what I get for wearing corsets to lectures and having half my head shaved and then purple hair! more recently and throughout my life people have often seen me as very serious or miserable because they only see my work, and are surprised to know I’m actually a silly goose whose pretty funny on occasion.

I am short and generally bubbly, so people always assume that I am younger than my actual age (which is wild to me). One time a few years ago, someone came to my door and asked me if my parents were home…my tattoos were highly visible… I said no and wasn’t lying 🤷♀️
When my son was first born, I had to bring something to my husband’s work, and the dad of a client asked who the teenage mother was (It was me, I was 31 lol).
Personality things, I don’t know. I’ll have to ask some people and get back to you!

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
