# About me
The Halo Effect is a Psychology term which is used for an overall generalization from a perception of one outstanding personality trait to an overly favorable evaluation of the whole personality of an individual.In English:
It is an established idea that people do not see others in a gray area;
instead we seem to see each person as roughly good or roughly bad across all categories of measurement. We see an aspect of a person and our judgment of them is forever is based upon whatever we saw at that single moment.
Examples:
the iPod has had a positive effect on the perception of Apple's other products for consumers.
You see a young boy helping an old woman crossing the street. You assume this child is caring, conscious, puts others before himself.
You see a teenage girl with a bubbly smile tripping one of her friends and you think, "Aw, they're just being kids."
Five minutes later you might see a grown man with a purple mohawk and 8 piercings punching one of his friends in the arm and you think "danger, danger." Maybe you visualize him flipping someone off in traffic or maybe he cheats on his taxes.
This is called Reverse Halo Effect, which capitalizes on your fear of the unknown into making one aspect of a person into a negative generalization.
Why have I chosen to waste your time telling you all about this?
*shrugs*
Maybe I just wanted to bring this concept to your attention. I suffer from Halo Effect everyday, and maybe I just wanted to call myself that to remind myself to not judge so easily.
But then maybe you're thinking I'm a snobby know-it-all brat who always talks over other people to make her opinion most important.
Maybe you're right, and or maybe that was just the reverse Halo Effect talking.
Here's 5 freebie facts about me.
1. I have never gotten high, been drunk, or smoked a cigg. I try to be as un typical teenager as possible.
2. I have been a vegetarian for almost 3 years. And... I miss meat every day.
3. I don't have a facebook anymore, for many reasons. The site was very fun for a while, but it has single-handedly provided bitter endings to friendships that nevr should have been explored in the first place.
4. I want to do something, anything, in this world, to touch someone's life. Forever.
5. And finally... I can beat the pants off of you in Super Smash Bros, GUARANTEED.

Most Dearest Zelda,
My computer is dead, and not the kind of dead that you can just re-charge and make it all better dead, it is "oh god who just ran over that poor woman and OH GOD WHY DID THEY BACK UP OVER HER AFTERWARDS" dead. I have to bring it to a trained professional in the art of computer repair and updating, which could take some time.
Therefore, I cannot (illegally) download any music for you, nor can I send you regular funny links on DA, nor can I return the 8 GB memory stick with seemingly halarious and interesting things, because all of this is on/would have to be done on my computer, and for the time being it is regretably dead.
I have very greatly enjoyed veiwing (some) of the links on the 8 GB memory stick that you have left me. Thank you very much for them.
I eagerly await to be in your adoring precence tommorow,
Fabio <3
P.S. GAME THEE
P.S.S. Everytime I sing now, I think I sound like Herbert the Pervert. Thanks for nothing. Jeez

So this is the kind of music I listen to usually. Some of it can get kind of repetitive, which is a little annoying, and the songs are usually UNGODLY long, but I love them
This one is all nerdy like, kinda like me
