What I've Learned About Myself...

... in the two weeks that lead up to "THE IDES OF MARCH!!!"

O.k. so the exclamations were used for dramatic effect. And though I am no soothsayer, I feel as though anyone who says "Ides of March" should do it with gusto.

Anyway... in this post, I would like to discuss a few words that apparently describe myself.

"Chatterbox"

This word was provided by friends. They said the one word that came to mind when they thought of me was: chatterbox. I am not wholly sure how this came about, seeing as I find myself to be a very quiet and shy person. Obviously, my interpretation is incorrect, because when I began to defend myself I realized, a whole slew of words were escaping my tongue, and said friends could not get a word in edge wise.

"Worrywart"

This is the one word I feel best describes me.

I am not a patient person (I don't like waiting, I like acting), and I see in no way how patience is a virtue (it seems like procrastination to me). Without patience though, a person can constantly find themselves worrying about things (i.e. money, career, relationships, family: you get the idea). It's a control issue. And patience (I must sadly say), I am doomed to learn over and over again.  But while I work on patience, I was told my mom is working on her "humility." Maybe one day there will be a story written on when Patience and Humility get together (I'm still waiting for that narrative :)).

"Gryffindork"

This incorporates both "chatterbox," "worrywart," and my nerdy-ness.

May I just say, "There is nothing anyone can do about this!" I seem doomed to talk about Harry Potter for the rest of my life. And to those people who are so kind to deal with me on a daily-basis, may I request, please be patient with me (for I know you all carry patience unlike myself). I promise to bake you cookies every now and then. You can even request a cake when I go on for hours, but please don't abandon this "chatterbox" of a "worrywart" just because I'm a "Gryffindork." (And please, oh please, don't end me like Julius Caesar).

Beware the Ides of March!
