OK, I’m
copping out. Like hardcore. I’m doing a stupid ole’ blog challenge thingy. Why?
Because I honestly think that it’ll help me actually write here consistently if
I have pre-determined topics to talk about. So let’s get this going. For anyone
who’s interested the link to said challenge is here. So let’s
get into it.
Basic
things about me.

… I
could go on like this for quite some time, but seriously everyone that reads
this knows me already. So let’s to something a little less basic. Just in case
any of you dorks forgot though…
I’m a competitive
person, I think everyone knows that. Even in a game as silly and not serious at
all as Mario Kart. I’m there to win. That’s one of the big things that makes
things fun for me. Having something to measure myself up against to see where I
am. Winning is also fun. In case you were wondering, it’s a lot of fun.
Stubbornness
is another word I’d use to describe myself. A stubborn competitor can be one of
the worst kinds of people to have around when you’re playing games of any sort.
If they (me) start off poorly and are losing, you’re going to see something
called tilt. This is where I get really frustrated with a game but refuse to
simply quit, I keep playing until I win. The longer that takes, the more
agonizing it is for everyone around me. I am working on that though, accepting
losses is an important part of life. I mean, even Pro-gamers rarely boast a win
rate of 60% and up, so they have to accept loss as well.
I speak
three languages, one quite well and two pretty terribly. I speak Sarcasm extraordinarily
well, but English and Fijian are pretty tough for me. Still I feel pretty comfortable
saying that I have a larger vocabulary than 70% of the people I interact with. Right
now it doesn't show so much because I've been stumbling over my words an
absolute tonne lately. It’s mildly frustrating, but I just laugh at myself, because
if you don’t know how to make fun of/laugh at silly things you do, you are
going to be one sad panda.
Looks
wise I've always considered myself average to slightly above average looking,
and I’m going to keep thinking that of myself until I’m like really old, so
like 26 or something. Seriously though, thinking this about myself is super
smart, it gives me enough confidence to be like, “Well I’m not BAD looking.” But
keeps me from ever feeling overconfident about myself. Balance, perfect
balance.
So
far we have a competitive, stubborn, sarcastic and completely 100% average
looking person. That all describes me pretty decently I suppose, but the one
word I really think sums up my personality is reactive. I react to situations,
I rarely initiate things, and unless I’m around a crowd I feel very very comfortable
with. Generally though I find that reacting to things is the best way for me to
go about stuff, I’ve always felt more comfortable with wingin things rather than
taking time to carefully prepare a set plan for things. I just think I think well
when I’m reacting. Take this blog challenge thing for instance, it gives me a
topic, I react and write about it, EZ PZ.
That
about does it for me. Pretty good for Day 1.
