<p>I’m pretty absent-minded some of the time, and people have said they were shocked to hear that I was actually really good at school because I portrayed myself as a spacey surfer guy. I go out a lot and have made some pretty dumb comments in my time, but I still get really good grades and have a hefty scholarship to my LAC.</p>
<p>I know a teen blonde girl who is trying to shake a ‘nerd’ image (participated in lots of academic stuff in middle school) by being bubbly. she almost tries too hard. She is also naturally absent-minded. However, she is also confident (knows her abilities) as well as a bit self-conscious around others which she masks with being goofy, some of which is really just not tuning in to what is going on around her. </p>
<p>She interviews extremely well, is opinionated, and is quite smart. She’s intuitive and senses what others are thinking, is kind, etc. Just absent minded and yet can be hardworking and smart. </p>
<p>The rest of you described it well!</p>
<p>P.S. Why is it always the blondes? Not always, but a lot seem to have this.</p>
