I am a smart-ass, sappy, geek.

[SarahB]

I wear my heart on my sleeve and sometimes I can be kind of neurotic about things at times. I can break out into random show tunes and have assorted things about me that can be perceived by some as exciting and others as just plain weird.

But I'm ok with that. :7

How about your "flaws"? Have you learned to embrace them yet? :D

[jpgray]

1. I'm impossibly vain and self-centered

But then this thread should have been about me anyway.

[arwalden]

43. Ooop...

:rofl:

[SarahB]

44. If you're inferring I am...

then you have a very wrong perception given my life and what I do for work. Just because I'm an open person means nothing of the sort, so have the nads to say what you what to say directly. Same goes for anyone.

There's nothing more wimpy than snide, passive aggressive bullshit.

[jpgray]

45. You think my post was about you?

[SarahB]

47. I apologize if I made the wrong assumption.

No big deal.

[Ellipsis]

2. I got the horse right here...

his name is Paul Revere and theres a guy who says if the weathers clear ... can do can do... this guy says the horse can do... if he says the horse can do can do can do.

Now what were you saying?

:crazy:

[enigmatic]

3. I'm so laid-back

Every so-often my wife puts a mirror under my nose to see if I'm still breathing...

[Wetzelbill]

5. you really are my brother

:)

[HEyHEY]

4. I punch anyone who uses the word, "fi" for "five"

[SarahB]

6. I like that!

:thumbsup:

[WCGreen]

7. Ah, the enchantment of youth.....

Show tunes are a big plus and the wierdness, it genuine, is a real turn on....

[SarahB]

11. I'm not young.

Just frighteningly immature.
(Actually not really as I'm a very responsible person who has had to be mature beyond my years all my life, but I have a light-hearted kind of spirit within me, in part, because I'm a mommy and I work with kids. Plus, it helps me cope when there's hard stuff in life and let's me enjoy the good stuff more. I refuse to completely grow up and give in to cynicism entirely. :))

[WCGreen]

21. It's like I have two sides

The 47 year old man who gives financial advise and then there is the dude who refuses to compromise on his believes and gets in trouble cause he is a liberal ina sea of conservatism....

Ahhhh Haaaaa... Take a deep breathe there.....

[Wetzelbill]

27. you look young

you can't be too far up there in years, you always look pretty damn good in those pic threads. :)

[Floogeldy]

8. There are worse things to be.

Feel good about yourself.

:)

[SarahB]

13. Yeah.

It took me awhile to figure that out though. :silly:

[wtmusic]

9. Those aren't flaws

you rock my world SarahBelle :)

[Wetzelbill]

10. my flaws.....

I am eccentric. I like my space. I love creative and artisitic things. When I do something I do it with passion, I am almost compusive about it. So I've learned to just let it all ride.

I embraced all that.

Most of all, I think up crazy funny things. So I just let that all fly in my creative work. I used to be afraid to write a story with cuss words or sexual or offensive content in it. Now I just go for it.

But, most of the time, when I'm not being funny. I am laid back and cool, calm and collected. I like being that way too.

[SarahB]

12. Sounds cool!

Oh, and fuck yeah- write away! ;)

[enigmatic]

15. Jesus, I could have written that

You're right; we are brothers:)

[Wetzelbill]

16. we even have the old bitter former athlete

thing in common too. :)

I'm Morris Day and you're Jerome. Get it straight!

[enigmatic]

19. Good, I HATE mirrors!

I'll hold it, you can look in it and primp:)

[Wetzelbill]

23. see that was a test

and since you were able to understand what the hell I was talking about you passed it with flying colors, lol.

Have you ever watched "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back?"

[enigmatic]

24. Yeas and no

It's been on while I've been in the room, but I haven't sat down to watch it; I take it I should?

[Wetzelbill]

25. they talk about Morris Day and Jerome in it....

Yeah, it is pretty funny. Crude as hell, which means it was right up my alley, haha. Will Ferrell is great in it.

[enigmatic]

28. Kevin Smith

has always been a guy who's been hit and miss w/ me; I loved "Clerks" and "Dogma", but that's about it. I need to watch some more of his films..

[Wetzelbill]

37. yeah he is like that

I liked Chasing Amy, Dogma. Clerks. Mallrats was shit. I'd call Jersey Girl shit, but I wouldn't want to offend all of the good pieces of shit out there by associating it with that movie.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is probably my favorite one of his films. I would say.

I like Smith but I think he's pretty overrated. He can write some brilliant stuff, but visually he's pretty standard. Although, he really improved, he used to be quite subpar. When he is off though, he really will lay an egg. At his best, he's pretty good.

[Wapsie B]

14. Somewhat.

Being reserved and intensley private, yet sometimes craving attention or wanting recognition can be very frustrating. I've yet to find a balance.

[SarahB]

17. Let it out!

Sometimes a certain element of introversion is a part of one's self, but then I think about the times where I was more withdrawn in life and it was when I was transitioning or going through something and I needed to retreat on some level to process things. I don't know if that's you, but I know you well enough to know you need not worry about letting your light shine a little at times too. :pals:

[Wapsie B]

20. Yes. I need to force myself to just go for it

in more ways than one in my life. The times I threw caution to the wind are the times I felt I really lived. Heck I might even start a few more threads around here. :)

Weird. I just had a Deja Vu moment about this very conversation.


:pals:

[bettyellen]

18. i am incredibly shy meeting and getting to know people

but i fight it really hard because i'm trying not to be like my mom, she really was too worried about what people think all the time and inward and it sucked for her.
and i hate groups with a passion, so it weirds me out that i'm here and i like you. i really like you.

[enigmatic]

22. I find that hard to believe

You're a beautiful woman, and you alwayts sound like you've got it all together.

I understand the hating of group thing though; I'm the same way..

[bettyellen]

29. two things made me stop behaving in such a shy manner...

even though i am still the geek of the century in my heart: a friend told me i was being perceived as rude and aloof when i was really just totally geeking and nervous, and then i read some buddhist thing about being self concious, and how it was self involved and boring. and i decide i couldn't act that way anymore. and i mostly stopped. and it wasn't so bad.
but yeah shoot me if i ever go on a tour, even for a few hours. most groups bite it.
so, i fooled ya, huh?
:D

[SarahB]

30. "i was being perceived as rude and aloof when i was really just totally...

geeking and nervous"

That's often me too! Frequently! :hi:

[WCGreen]

35. Oh god... i found that out at my tenth HS reunion.....

the people thought I was stuck up when most of the time I was too stoned to worry about anyone....

i had to expend all my energy on School....

[enigmatic]

31. LOL!

I've been a musician or in a job which requires me to be "on stage" just about all my life, so I've always felt like I was playing a role to a certain degree. I can do that w/o a problem, but when I'm "me" is where the shyness comes in, so I really have to work at it. I've gotten much better at it as well, but I'm still that way at heart..

[WCGreen]

26. I forced myself out into the world

And it is wonderful to be out there...

I gave up on what people think a long time ago....

Cause in the end, it just doesn't matter....

i have found that as long as you treat people they way you would want to be treated, nine time out of ten, things go okay....

[ahem]

32. If there's something in the room to bump into, I'll bump into it.

I'm not coordinated. At all. Needless to say I can't dance. And yet, I do anyway.

[SarahB]

34. I do that too!

I can dance though if it's choreographed and I practice. I can roller skate too.
Just don't ask me to walk across a room without tripping over my own feet. :silly:

[AVulgarianHue]

33. My "flaws" are charming

and I am much too self-effacing to draw attention to them.;)

[WCGreen]

36. Welcome to the Lounge......

Where the men are hot...

The woman on fire

And you get to be who ever you want to be....

Cause it's cyber space baby

Although the picture threads tend to ground us.....

[AVulgarianHue]

40. Mr. Green, you do have a way..

I'm tellin' ya.

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Welcome to DU!!!

:bounce: Good to know you....

[NMMNG]

38. Yep

I'm dorky, neurotic, fairly weird, rather boring and I complain too much. Even if I didn't prefer to spend lots of time alone I'd be doing so.

[WCGreen]

41. I like being alone...

But it is nice to have someone out there you can count on.....

Just sayin'

[NMMNG]

42. I've got people I can count on

I'm fortunate enough that my jobs allow me plenty of solitude so I can recharge. Then I have my friends for socializing and reciprocal helping.

[Guaranteed]

39. Just play it off legit.

No need to beat on yourself for anything.

[Old_Fart]

46. "you're in love"

You have a right to be a "dork" and do quirky things. Some people are jealous of that. Everyone has "flaws" and that is what makes us human beings. Being able to admit our mistakes shows that we are grown up.

Best of luck to both of you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. I am perfect.

If you love over protective, constantly worried, slightly (ahem..or more) procrastinating type kind of folks. :hi:

[Wapsie B]

50. I always thought you were.

sigh

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. Awwww, stop.

I think you're pretty perfect too! :hi:

[ulysses]

51. oh, I have my flaws

and let them hang out here all too often, but to know me is to love me, right? ;-)

[datasuspect]

52. i have leprosy and half my face looks like a bag

of sloughed off skin.

random people in public hide their children from me or audibly gasp in horror.

some people call me the elephant man.

but i've learned to embrace my diversity and my disfigurement.

[Pale Blue Dot]

54. My flaws?

Very similar to yours, actually, except for the show tunes.

Oh, and I have one other: I fall hopelessly in love with "smart-ass sappy geeks". What could possibly save me now? :loveya:

One other flaw: I post on DU when I really should be cleaning...
