Girl, feathers, you are too much and just the right amount all at one time! When I am reading your stories, I find myself barely breathing but simultaneously I can feel my heart pounding nearly out of my chest. I can see the disco ball, hear Keith's voice, feel the chill in the air, see the look in his eyes...But I haven't a clue what "she" looks like except for the jean jacket maybe. And that intentional obscurity is very pleasing to me... Thanks, feathers!

I also like your term "intentional obscurity" - I don't know how intentional it is tho - it just sorta happens that way. Once I start writing it would feel very clunky to me to do self-description in the first person (unless it's pertinent to the story). Part of the reason is to focus on character and personality - and on Keith ;-) - and also to allow the reader to "be there" herself.
