I was thinking of how different people like to talk about different things. For instance, I have a friend who is wonderful at telling stories, especially about everyday things and people. If you were to ask her how her day was, she would recount it for you in a narrative that draws you right in to what happened. One incident involving a mutual friend could lead into a very emotional whole backstory about the said friend's relationship with her ex, for example.

My dad, on the other hand, is much more factual. He likes to tell you the current price of gas, the weather forecast, that you have a dentist appointment next week at 3pm.

Some people I know rarely elaborate on how they're feeling upon being asked "how are you?" even if they've had an eventful day. One of my friends had absolutely nothing to say about his vacation in cuba except that "good, i'll put up photos."

Some people who are generally quiet can talk a blue streak if you ask them to explain, say, the causes of the civil war, or how to cook risotto, to you.

Where do you fall in? Any other observations?
