Get the Roeser mug.Contrary to the other definition, reserved is a characteristic of a person whom socializes sparingly.
It is shown not out of inability to converse or work with others, but instead permits them to be self-aware of whom, what, when, where, why and how they talk to people.

Get the Federal Reserve mug.In reference to Rod Serling, the creator and creepy narrator of the original Twilight Zone TV episodes from the '60s when an occurance or an event is so bizarre that it's similar to something that might happen in one of the episodes.
