Default faults

Let's face it, there's a lot wrong with me. You know it, I know it. I am actually the most comfortable in my skin that I've ever been and I really love who I've become, but I think it's more far more fun to talk about my flaws.

I'm annoying. I can't even imagine how many of you find me terribly annoying. I try so hard not to be, but I know I am.

I'm awkward. Again, I try hard not to be.

I'm dramatic. Only with myself, not with other people. I can't help it; I'm a writer.

I'm neurotic. The Larry David, Woody Allen kind of neurotic. There's just no other way of putting it.

I have terrible short-term memory. On the upside, I have an amazing long-term memory.

I am horribly blunt. This one's tricky because I don't actually view it as a fault, but I'm sure others do.

I'm pushy. This is the worst of the bunch because I can't stand pushy people and I've become one of them. But what I'm realizing is that there has to be someone bossy in many situations and sometimes it's going to have to be me. Sometimes my little sister calls me "Lucy". (As in Lucy van Pelt - as in Linus van Pelt's big sister, from the Peanuts gang... She's crabbier than crab grass. You know the one.)

I have lots of rules... but I don't make anyone else follow them.

This was unbelievably cathartic and I highly recommend it. Also, this list is closed so please don't add to it. :)

  5. I am further convinced that if we lived in the same city, we would be bffs. Sometimes you just need someone who is like you to accept your flaws and love them.

  7. I have to say that I don't agree with you on most of these! Just goes to show that we rarely see ourselves the way other people see us. :) I love you!
