Not so great description of Lynzi

She's not all together normal, but I guess, when you really get down to it no one is normal. But she has a knack for being more un-normal than most people. It's almost as if at times she follows whatever impulse she has without thinking through the consequences or what the people around her will think. Like for instance the other day, we were studying and Lynzi had been quiet for at least 15 minutes, which is slightly impressive for her, when suddenly her head snapped up. The sudden movement caught my eye and I looked up too wondering what so important; without a pause she made eye contact with me and asked, "Has a llama ever spit in your face?" I was too taken aback by the randomness of the question to fully process what she had asked so my only response was "Uh, what?" She repeated the question one more time and when I told her, "No. I have never had a llama spit in my face," she shrugged and went back to reading. Unsure of what to say next I asked her the same question, without seeming the least bit surprised she said, "Yes, I've had llamas spit in my face a couple of times. If you spit back they get really angry." She dropped her eyes back to her book and that was the end of that; for the rest of our study session Lynzi studied quietly as if nothing had happened but I was too distracted to concentrate, I mean, how do you get spit in the face, more than once, by llamas?
I've never met someone drinks as much caffeine as she does, and the weird part is she doesn't even need it. Without caffeine she usually has too much energy anyway, but when you allow her to have more than one cup of coffee, or a couple Diet Cokes, it's like the energizer bunny: she just keeps going, and going, and going. It's enough to drive a shy or quiet-loving person insane sometimes. But I guess if nothing else it's entertaining. We went camping earlier this fall and Lynzi had waaaay to much coffee, she ended up singing an opera to the ducks in the lake. Don't worry, I taped it in case you weren't there and you want to see it.
I guess when it comes to her crazy isn't always a bad thing. With her you're usually surprised, and if you hang around long enough she tends to catch everyone off guard at some point.
