I'm the kind who trips on things and walks into walls. Then I forget about what I was talking about mid-sentence.

do you forget what words you're choosing while speaking to new people, or forget what you are talking about mid-sentence? not to say i'm great with words, but i am far more articulate in text, as in while typing, then while speaking in a real-life conversation, and i am easily distracted by other things going on where the conversation is taking place or other random thoughts that pop into my head, and often times i accidently vocalise them.
do you easily get lost in your own neighborhood? do you not know your own phone number?
in high school someone made me a character in their comic strip and i was deemed "easily amused girl". all my character did was watch shiny things spinning around.

Yep, that's me!
They called me "cloudnine" in school...because basically I was always out there...mentally on a cloud somewhere. I can fix things, remember strings of facts, memorize lists of numbers...just don't ask me hard things like my SS#, phone number, someone's name I've known for years, or what I ate for lunch. I get distracted very easily and forget things, usually very simple things, it comes back when I'm no longer distracted, or I'm alone...but it's so embarrassing when it happens.
Shiny spinning stuff, that or flashing lights...give me a flashlight and I'll sit and play with it...Christmas lights are a major distraction for me, love them though.

This is very much me too. Friends, family and those I work with have often described me as eccentric, ditzy, and on cloudnine many times.
I dont even realise sometimes that Ive been distracted, which I have to keep a check on in meetings incase I am asked a question!
I also switch my fairy lights on in my living room every night as well as my glitter lamp.
They are so pretty

I´ve been called a ditz, an airhead, and a flake. I´ve also been called "flower child", which I took as a compliment 
Oh yeah, also space case, space cadet, and weirdo.
Now that I´m in a position of authority though, people don´t say these things to me so much anymore...at least, not to my face.

When I first saw your photos I was like "Ooooh! An Aspie valley girl!"
but I never assumed you were dumb. Maybe people like to think that blondes are dense to coax their insecurities. Do people who see your photo and dont know you're from NZ mistake you for being from SoCal?

I'm not stupid of ditzy but some people think I am.. these are nasty people though. I've chenged a lot in the past few weeks about how I behave online too.

I think people are somewhat prejudiced against blondes. At least here on the west coast of the US. Im told blondes are the first to get hit on by men in bars, clubs, and parties and there is the prevailing stereotype of the *vapid blond bimbo*-no thanks to hollywood.Perhaps you might wanna try dying your hair sometime just to see how people react to it.

i hope im not mistaken, but if i read her post right, i think she actually is a bottle blonde.
myself, im a natrual blonde, but ive been dying my hair dark brown for years. i noticed right away after the change that people began to take me more seriously.
