Undergraduate / 'the weird little things that define me' - Tufts Supplement Question 3 [7]

So this is the question...
Consider the world within. Taste in music, food, and clothing can make a statement while politics, sports, religion, and ethnicity are often defining attributes. Are you a vegetarian? A poet? Do you prefer YouTube or test tubes, Mac or PC? Are you the drummer in an all-girl rock band? Do you tinker? Use the richness of your identity to frame your personal outlook. (200-250 words)

This is my response...
For you to truly understand who I am, you first have to understand the weird little things that define me. I'm a quirky, eccentric nerd that prays my awkward humor will be seen as "charming" instead of "crazy," which is probably more accurate. I embarrass myself on a daily basis with situations like responding to the movie clerk's "Enjoy your movie" with a "You too." If I trip while walking I pretend that I was actually starting a light jog. I am guilty of drowning my food in condiments, and I hate people with different versions of the snarky comment, "You want some french fries with that ketchup?" I'm only a feminist when it's convenient, because when it comes to shoveling snow my response will always be, "But that's a boy job!" Though, of course I'm the first person to speak out in disgust about gender stereotypes; I know I'm a hypocrite. The thing is, I start far too many sentences with the phrase "The thing is..." and its even infected my friends' vocabularies. I firmly believe in the following: People should never wear leggings as pants, if your pockets are hanging out the bottom of your shorts, the shorts are too short, girls should always get a lighter shade of concealer to avoid the "Nutella as cover-up" look, and if you have to start a sentence with "No offense, but..." you just shouldn't finish the sentence. So as uncomfortable as reading this paragraph probably was, this is how I think. And with this glimpse into my mind, I hope you can see the "charmingly original" person that I am... or the crazy person, you decide.

Feedback would be great! Am I completely off or is this a good start? Edits for grammar would be awesome too!
