Singing - I pity the fool that has to hear me sing! Procastination - You think the fact that almost all of us have this problem has anything to do with this damn site?! I'm sure cluthcity alone has contributed to a decrease in the country's productivity. I sometimes go on a 'streak' where my procastination actually subsides, but that usually doesn't last too long. Like others, I know what I have to do and when to do it, but I tend to push it to another time. When it comes to school, lets just say I have a flair for the dramatic.

Music. I can't carry a tune or keep a beat to save my life. I think the problem lies in the fact that I am an extremely left brain person. Math, science, or anything to do with numbers is a breeze for me, but artistic expression is a complete mystery to me. This problem used to affect my relationship with my wife. She's a very emotional person, and I never could understand why. When conflict arose between us, she would get upset and emotional while I turned cold and calculated. This made for some interesting arguments. Procrastination used to be a problem for me, but I've gotten better. Now I find I enjoy getting things done quickly and enjoying the free time afterward. Remembering names is a problem as well. This I fear will never go away. ------------------ I always thought "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered".

You should add arrogance to that list as well; you turn a thread about things your really bad at and yet somehow make your list into a list of qualities (in a way). The nerve!

1. Arguing for the sake of arguing, you know when you start out a disgreement and quickly realise you are wrong and should have shut your trap, bugger that just forge on and keep arguing no matter how desperate the situation. 2. Settling for the 3, especially after nailing a few in a row and against a zone. 3. Parallel parking in anything other than my car.

All of the Above, excluding Achebe's problems. I get nervous at interviews also. I got to learn to control that.
The whole arguing thing is really bad with me. I will unilaterally /NEVER/ agree with anyone, despite what I really believe. Someone says one thing, I ALWAYS say the opposite, and then argue about it for as long as possible. I don't admit I'm wrong because I'm not wrong. About 98% of the time I can argue any point to victory, but the other two percent of the time I'll just talk until the other person gets tired of it and admits defeat. Sometimes I'll take an unwinnable position just to see how far I can take it. ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"

Sorry for the triple post, but they keep coming I have NO tact. I always say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and I offend EVERYONE. ALL THE TIME. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It's not intentional, I just have a habit of making jokes that are "inappropriate" or saying something that isn't generally accepted. It gets me in a lot of trouble. I also don't mean any of the stupid things either. It's just trying to get a rise out of people, or a laugh or something. ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down" [This message has been edited by Vengeance (edited May 14, 2001).]

Confrontation: Shanna, a friend, and myself went to play golf on Friday. As we're waiting at the first tee box for the people in front of us to finish, a cart with two guys goes pasts us, they get out, and tee up. I don't say a thing.

I am not assertive at all. I have a hard time enforcing my will on others because I absolutely abhor confrontation. I also have a seemingly uncanny ability to see both sides of any argument. The result is my inability to make a decision. ------------------ "I have no regrets except that I wasn't up to keep Randy from getting on that plane." --Ozzy Osbourne on guitarist Randy Rhodes
My list: 1. I'm a completely lazy person. This includes: sloppiness, procrastination, lack of effort. My room's a mess, I never study as much as I should, and I always do things at the last minute. Even worse, I've become so entrenched in my ways that I have trouble pacing myself... I tend to need last moment "inspiration." 2. Bad temper and taking things too personally... Like Kagy, I get angry over little things, although I will note that I'm very quick to forgive. I can't hold a grudge (which can also be bad, since it lets people take advantage of me multiple times). I take everything too personally - politics, in particular, but also literature and music. 3. I won't admit I'm wrong. I barely ever do until after an argument. I don't think I'm too close-minded, sometimes I'll even see that I'm wrong, and change my opinion afterward, I just won't concede the point at the time. It really confuses people when I argue with them forever, then suddenly agree with them next time they bring it up . I think being too arrogant and condescending also falls under this category. 4. I'm paranoid. Not like in Catch-22, or anything... I just work myself into a frenzy over certain things sometimes. Heh... that list is too long . ------------------ I would believe only in a God who could dance. - Friedrich Nietzsche Boston College - NCAA Hockey National Champions 2001
