So, for the last couple of weeks, one of my roommates has been telling me at regular intervals how hard I am to peg. Now, this roommate seems like he's generally a pretty good judge of character, so this has me a bit confused. I may not always fit into standard archetypes, but I feel like I'm not that terribly hard to get if you're willing to think outside the box for even a minute.
So, here's my question to you loyal few whenever you get around to reading this: is he right? Am I less transparent than I tend to assume?
One of the chief things that I strive towards that I don't see much in society at large is that I generally try to be pretty honest and upfront about who I am and where my motivations lie, so if I'm doing a shit job of this, I need to know how I can do better. Maybe I seem a bit inconsistent or even hypocritical in some surface behaviors, but I hope that the reasoning there, too, should be clear.
No need to reply where everyone can see if you don't want, but talk to me about this if you feel so moved. I can take it. I swear.
Also, read the post before this one (chronologically). I need some critical feedback on my real writing. I can take that, too.

I hate "pegging" people. I know some people who aren't happy until they've labeled and filed someone, but I guess I like to give each person their own special box, if that makes sense. Some people do get shoved into my mental "do not associate with" file.
So I'd say you're hard to peg because I don't "peg" people -- not because I think you're hard to "get". My guess is that the roommate in question keeps thinking he has you figured out, only to discover something else. Would he still say this later (now)? I doubt it.
Anyway, if you want to know where you fall in my mental classification tree, I'd be happy to chat with you about it.
