best compliment ever...

well, at least it's the best compliment I received today...

At lunch, Phyllis (my co-worker/friend) told me that I was the equivalent of a "sleeper" hit.

She commented that my shy/reserved/slightly prim/conservative exterior is a slightly false advertisement for what lurks beneath the surface. The "real me" involves car-stereos-turned-up-way-to-loud, "raising-the-roof", mischief-making, etc. 

 

I think I'll use this as a my new personal descriptor....it's so much better than telling people "I grow on you like a fungus"!
