100 Of The Things I Am
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
In lieu of writing a whole lot of sentences today, I tasked myself with making a list, and I gave myself the following parameters, because nothing pushes you like arbitrary rules:
- List 100 adjectives to describe yourself.
- 67 adjectives must be positive, and 33 adjectives must be negative. Ones that are not really one or the other can be counted as positive adjectives.
- Adjectives with similar but different meanings are acceptable, as long as you are using them to describe different aspects of yourself and are not simply going through the thesaurus in order to fill up your list.
I am, in no particular order:
- creative,
- stubborn,
- intelligent,
- feisty,
- unfocused,
- loving,
- liberal,
- short-tempered,
- happy,
- sober,
- impatient,
- curious,
- thoughtful,
- frustrated,
- cute,
- outspoken,
- chubby,
- interested,
- growing,
- domineering,
- warm,

Hell no! You took all the good adjectives. The temptation to plagiarize would be impossible to withstand.
I like how "honest" directly follows "gassy". A little stream - of - consciousness there, that :)
How did you manage to make me laugh and tear up with a list of words? Damn, you're good.
I smell a meme coming...
I agree with almost all of those.
Love ya sister.
I think if you (read "me") start the list naturally with negative adjectives, find them coming easily to mind, and find that soon the number goes beyond your 33-adjective criteria, then maybe I should consider and address at the top of the list "troubled=issue-ridden=mental"....
