I'm all of the above!

Are you...

funny? Too sharp to accomodate everyone
smart? I have an emotional smartness. It means I make lots of wrong decisions, but I grow from them.
wise? Very wise concerning other people's situations, but total nimbwit when it comes to using it on myself.
good-looking? Can't complain. Get lots of compliments, often wonder why. I don't feel good looking often.
sexy? When I feel sexy, I am.
knowledgeable (in a general sense)? I know enough to steer wide around opinion makers. Like the news.
well-liked by your colleagues? Yes. Most love me. Even when I am a bitch, cuz they feel the genius of it.
well-liked by your friends? My friends, often the butt of my chaotic nature, forgive me, for being me.
well-liked by people in general? I do not open up easily to people. First impressions often range from airhead to talks too much.
mentally strong? Often.
mature? Don't think so. I still get jealous like a six year old on many occasions.
talented? Yes, but too shy.
interesting to talk to? To certain people. Most often people with a 'history'.
brave? Yes. I am a brave little toaster.

And now I am off seeing Natisse.

I love how you say "just curious" it's so cute.

This has got to be the worst ever thread.

I left your cake out in the rain .

Oh.

I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo

Perception is a constant fascination of minez!! I could spend all day analysing human perception!!


funny? Yeah. It doesn't matter how bad the joke is just so long as I'm laughin- and i manage 2 make someone else laugh 2. Also my mannerismz give people da gigglez- i like it. It givez me a feel good high.
smart? Yeah smart I am- i'm quite competitive in this 'area'. I thought no one noticed until a uni mate pointed it out apparently i actually come across quite domineering in class- but from my perspective- i'm just tryin 2 get somethin out of it..ok and sometimez i just wanna show i can kick ass
wise? Yes, i'm very calculating and tend 2 analyse people and situationz alot, and from them draw conclusionz- based on the idea of different perceptionz!! In oppose 2 just my own. If dat makez any sense?
good-looking? Yeah, i'm happy with what i see in the glass most dayz I think.
sexy? Yeah- and dat is what I call human essence...well part of it.
knowledgeable (in a general sense)? Yeah- and sometimez i know more than I realise in the general sense too.
well-liked by your colleagues? I adore most of my work colleagues, and I feel dat is reciprocated aswell
well-liked by your friends? Absolutely, my friendz are like my second family!
well-liked by people in general? Yeah, cause i'm a people person!! But for me it'z less about being liked, but more about hopefully givin someone else a reason to smile or laugh or giggle most dayz.
mentally strong? Oh yes. I am my own rock and solace and I am aware that i can pass on that idea of keepin strong mindfully because I can pick from another'z perspective what getz to them and how 2 get them out of it I do it alot with family, friendz and colleagues- ppl usually feel better after talkin 2 me over somethin- datz cause i am mentally strong! 2 me itz about taking on board everything in life and learnin how 2 manage it without goin loco.
mature? For sure- but I let go of takin myself 2 seriouslyz- and dat 2 me is part of maturing- feelin comfortable in onez skin enough 2 b happy 2 let onez hair loose!! 2 me matureness has 2 do with takin responsibility etc but also it is about findin your groove, respecting otherz, and overcoming your own personal hurdlez. There is so much 2 maturity. And yes I have this quality.
talented? Yes, I just wish I had enough time on my plate 2 indulge in all of them. I don't mean dat in an arrogant sense ofcourse. More often than not i can forget any talent i have is a talent untill some one sayz 'heyyyy'you know ...
interesting to talk to? Yeah unless im tired or sumfin... well i love 2 jibber jabber- and i don't know anyone who runz away from a conversation with me in it-so my conclusion is- yeah im interesting 2 talk 2!
brave? I am usually chicken shit of alot of thingz- i have been since i was a kid- but my aim has alwayz been 2 kick every fear or insecurity in the ass- then people are like 'omg aren't you scared' and i'm like- well life can't be interesting for me if im gonna sit around bein scared. Ya gotta embrace shit like that and live it up!!

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

good-looking? no

I like myself just fine.

if others dont like me tough titty.

Do you think you are:

funny? - Once in a while I have my moments.
smart? - I like to think so.
wise? - eh, not really. Wisdom tends to come with age and i'm not that aged yet.
good-looking? - Nope. But I'm cute. That'll do.
sexy? - I've been told I am, but I tend not to believe it. Maybe as an aquired taste...
knowledgeable (in a general sense)? - About certain things, yes. There are plenty of things I know nothing about.
well-liked by your colleagues? - Yes.
well-liked by your friends? - Yes.
well-liked by people in general? - I think so, but I can be hard to get to know. I'm often told people thought I was a bitch when they first met me. It's just cause I can be shy and quiet.
mentally strong? - Umm... maybe. Maybe not.
mature? - Again, yes and no. About some things I am, about others I'm not so sure. My whole childhood I was told I was mature for my age and 'round about 17 I decided I didn't want to be anymore. I kind of rebelled. But it was conscious. These days I wouldn't say I'm immature, but I'd say I don't always 'act my age'.
talented? - Not really. I have the ability to do just about anything with reasonable success, but I've never found that one thing that I truly excel in.
interesting to talk to? - Depends. Sometimes I can be fascinating and I've been told I can tell quite a good story. Other times I just can't talk, period. I've no idea what to say and am not able to force anything to come out of my mouth. It's frustrating.
brave? - I don't think so. But I wouldn't say I'm cowardly, either.

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye doesn't mean forever

LleeLlee said:

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm,
I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking,
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive.

This thread in a nutshell.

I guess I should answer this myself too:

funny?
Sometimes, when I'm in the right mood, I can really make people laugh hard. If I'm not in the right mood, my jokes are pretty lame; sort of like how an old grandpa would joke.

smart?
In terms of IQ, yes.

wise?
I'm working on that one.

good-looking?
No.

sexy?
If the chemistry is right, then yes.

knowledgeable (in a general sense)?
Yes. I'm absurdly interested in pretty much everything and therefore it's been inevitable to pick up a few things along the way.

well-liked by your colleagues?
I don't even have a job right now.

well-liked by your friends?
Yes. A number of years ago I always got the feeling that they were talking behind my back, but not anymore.

well-liked by people in general?
It really depends, so I guess I'd have to say no. I'm not the most easy-going person in the world but I can be extremely accomodating too.

mentally strong?
Yes. I also have a lot of emotions, which some people mistake for weakness, but I'm actually very strong and can get up even though I've been punched on the chin by life a number of times.

mature?
In theory, yes. I can usually give very mature advice and such, but I don't always practice what I preach.

talented?
In some areas, yes, very.

interesting to talk to?
I'm a very intense talker, so if you don't like that then no.

brave?
Yes. I'm not afraid of life like a lot of people seem to be.

Such modesty... Beauty might be mostly subjective, but some people almost look objectively beautiful and you're one of them.

Good for you that there's nothing wrong with your self-confidence though.

CarrieMpls said:

To be labelled as mature at an early age can be annoying and a burden to carry. It makes you feel obligated to live up to it, even if it was you that placed the label on yourself. To rebel against it can be tricky too though. How do you one day start acting more immaturely? Even though you know it would probably be good for you, it can feel quite artificial. At least that's how I felt at a certain point.
