Maybe I should be a gamer ballerina...Nah.

17. What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

I wish I was great at a lot of things...but what I'd love more than ANYTHING to be great at would be dancing or video games. Two very different things, but those are the two things I wish I was great at.

For dancing, I'd love to excel in either ballet, ballroom or hip hop. But just imagining myself dancing hip hop is embarrassing. Dancing like no one's business when it's just me and Zac in our living room is a-okay with me, especially when we're being dinosaurs. But there's just something about Dirty Dancing that just gets to me.

Lately, Zac's been playing Diablo nonstop. I don't mind at all, I just sometimes wonder what it would be like if I was an elite gamer. Right now, the best part about a video game are the people I'm with while we're playing. We have fun. I'm not competitive. But what if I was? o.O

Hmm...food for thought.

Speaking of food--Zac and I went on a date tonight!

COTTONTAIL UP IN THIS.

15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

I just took my "Animal in You" personality quiz.

Ridiculous?

Maybe.

Regrets?

None whatsoever.

I am a

COTTONTAIL

Yeah.

That's right.

Be jealous.

:]

Here's my personality profile...if you wanted to read more about my cottontailness.

And take the test here!

I'd love to know what kind of animal personality you are.

:D

Cottontail personalities are small, gentle individuals with a tendency towards shyness and whose instinct is to run at the first sign of danger. Their extraordinarily acute senses are well-developed and always on the lookout for any impending peril.

Cottontails are astoundingly cute and rely heavily on their soft personalities and vulnerable appearance to succeed.

These beautiful and skittish creatures have the most elegant imaginations of all; spending hours creating magnificent castles in air and populating them with an endless variety of whimsically pastoral characters. These romantic dreams dramatically influence the cottontail's behavior, and although they could be described as quirky, they're also friendly, warm, and understanding.

Although they are bright, cottontails often hide their intelligence when it interferes with their primary method of survival: cuteness! Almost all mammal personalities find them to be irresistibly attractive and they rarely need to employ their personal resources to succeed in their careers or relationships.

Their quiet, solitary behavior is often mistaken for timidness, but cottontails are actually quite aggressive in their search for resources.

Because they lack the physical strength of larger animal personalities, they must rely on their social skills to compete in the workplace.

Cottontails function best in situations that don't involve confrontations, which means they are not natural salespeople, but their ability to work with others means they are well-suited for careers in customer support, diplomacy, administrative work and nursing.

I'm not sure about any of those careers, but the personality attributes fit me very well, I think.

And here are just some other pictars I took today.

If you aren't friends with me on fb, Zac ordered pizza for us online tonight. I was quite grumpy, so when he sent in the order, he asked the delivery guy to draw "something that would cheer his wife up." And this is what he drew! A fuzzy cat jumping out of a dryer and a bear riding a bicycle! hahaha!

Best night ever.

my 5 weaknesses

13. Describe 5 weaknesses you have.

Before we get to that, here's a happy pictar!

//I procrastinate...a lot\\

Procrastination and I have had an interesting relationship--one that came about my freshman year of college. I don't know why, but suddenly, the concept of hw and good grades zipped out of my mind as soon as I made friends that first semester. However, one positive I've gained from avid procrastination is a knack for completing projects and assignments with more focus than I've ever had before college. First 4.0 last semester. Whatup.

//I can be impatient\\

Impatience has always been there for me and me for it. Remember that "focus" thing I just mentioned? When I am in the zone, you better be in it, too. haha But srsly. There are days when I am the chillest penguin in existence--and other days when I want to explode because nothing is going the way I want it to. I am quite black and white in that regard--something that needs work haha.

//I focus on the details rather than the bigger picture\\

Goodness. I've lost jobs because of this. I've gotten jobs because of this. I've received horrible grades because of this. I've aced classes because of this. I don't know what it is about attention to detail that can just destroy me or build me up. When detail needs to be meticulous, call me up, man. When you need a rough sketch or a "skeleton outline"...for your own good, it'd be better for all involved if you just stayed away. Really.

//I compare myself to other people...much too often\\

I've mentioned this in my fears post, but yeah. I'd be a coward not to mention it here as a personal weakness I have. A lot of my friends get all sorts of confused when I blush or stammer after they ask me how I'm doing--when all I can think about is how much more "perfect" their lives are than mine. Sudden moments of paralyzing inadequacy grip me so tight I can't breathe and I wonder how other people can keep up with themselves.

//I let my emotions control me\\

As much as I hate to admit it, however I'm feeling in a moment can dictate my actions. On multiple occasions, other people have been hurt by my tendency follow my heart rather than my head. In other circumstances, I've been hurt because I let my emotions rule me. I get so completely frustrated sometimes. And then I realize that I'm letting my emotions get the best of me again because I'm reflecting on how emotional I can be. haha Gosh dangit. Good thing I'm a writer.
