Best: I’d like to think I’m a nice, intelligent, friendly sort of person. Don’t know if I am, but that’s how I’d like to be seen. Worst: I’m a perfectionist. If it can’t be done perfectly, I hate it. – Sylence * * * You need Degas to make De Van Gogh. ---

Just one worst attribute, eh? 🙂 Best: An intelligence that lends itself to humor and openmindedness. Worst: Personal inertia on a scale usually only posited theoretically by smart-ass atheists (“Can God create a man so emotionally paralyzed that even He can’t cheerlead him off the couch?”). * * * “Are you frightened of snakes?” “Only when they dress like werewolves.” -Preacher ---

Best: An irrepressible, unquenchable thirst for knowledge, for minutia, for trivia, for scouting down an obscure item, for reading everything and anything. Worst: I think the vast majority of humans are damn fools. Maybe I should have taken that job working in a back room at the library. ---

Hmmmmm. My best and worst. Made me think about it, this did. Best: Generous, often to a fault. I’d give the shirt off my back if I felt someone needed it more \ Worst: My lack of self-esteem, my self-deprecation. I am working on that, but I still have a long way to go.

**Best:** I’m a good listener, and mostly level-headed in a crisis. I’m almost always horrendously polite and tactful. I’m sensitive. I expect the best of people, and have trouble believing the worst. **Worst:** I’ve often got a mixed-up sense of priorities, and I procrastinate like crazy. And I’m fiercely independent about some things, which leads to being in over my head rather often. And I’ve got a way of convienently forgetting what I’ve got to do. And I have no memory. And I’m rather immature in some ways. And I don’t want to grow up sometimes. And I can be a ditz. And I can’t keep these sneakers tied. * * * ## My classes are optional. So is graduating.
