She usually starts by making some smartarse comment, usually on what they're doing. (This is an Australian custom though, that might not translate to other countries)
Then she asks if they're local.
If they say no she asks where they're from > how long have you been here > what brought you here? Etc
If they say yes it's did you grow up here > what area > what do you do > have you always done that etc
She asks lots of questions but it doesn't seem like an interegation, they seem happy to tell her everything.

I suspect your housemate has a very warm and inviting demeanor.

^ this is my friend, not my housemate.
She seems genuinely interested in people, I suspect she's an alien.
When we met, one of the first things she asked me was what my star sign was, then we had a discussion on whether my interests, outlooks etc. suited my star sign.

^This is the kind of people we all need in our life.

Worth their weight in gold.

My real friend is a gnome who lives under a mushroom.

My latest friend is a mouse who lives under the stairs.

^ did it have clogs on

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

^ that should be in the pointless death thread although not pointless for the 2nd mouse

Awww, that's so nice of you. And you're my latest friend too.
