Personality
I'm known, at first, to be a real quiet and shy individual. At first glance, it's hard to believe there is a spontaneous nature pumping in my veins. I enjoy cracking a smile on someone's face, or even inciting laughter if I can. Yet would I call myself a clown? Perhaps.. It depends on the nature of the humor sometimes. I enjoy challenges, and even making challenges for myself. A common example is testing and pushing my friend's buttons. One day I'll be a sweet little angel, and the next I'm driving you insane trying to annoy you halfway to hell. There are times when I like to sit back and enjoy my surroundings, or just admire every blade of grass or fluttering butterfly. Other than that, I will sometimes act like I have ADD and lose my train of thought, but that's a common thing for some people, right?


Strengths:
(1) I'm a social butterfly -- once you get to know me. If you ever need to just let loose and talk to someone, I'm your girl. Just don't get it in your head that it's okay to drop your problems on me so I can carry them for you. Try that on someone else.. You'll have better luck.
(2) I'm a kind and caring soul. When you feel some people wouldn't understand or push aside to dub it not important, come to me because I wouldn't do that. It's rude, it's crude, it's just wrong -- not my style one bit. I will listen to what you have to say and give as honest an opinion I can without being blunt (which I'm famous for sometimes).
(3) I can be creatively artisitc when I want to be. My artwork may not be Van Gogh or Leonardo Da Vinci, but it does aid in me seeing things a different way. Very helpful when it comes to projects and such, I think.


Weaknesses:
(1) I'm way too gullible. If you told me your father was someone famous, like Donald Trump, I wouldn't believe you -- of course. But when it comes to fooling me into thinking your a great friend when you are actually just using me for your own desires, that works wonderfully for some people.
(2) I talk too much. I am very prone to getting off topic constantly, so a conversation will turn from a 30 minute talk into a two hour talk. Feel free to just hold up your hand and stop me from continuing. I won't feel too put down.
(3) I am really sensitive. It is seriously not that hard to upset me if you get real close to me. For that reason, I'm a bit overprotective with my heart these days. Not to say I wouldn't trust newly gained friends, it would just take a little while longer to get real close to me to the point of being a best friend or whatever.
(4) I am very emotional. If you do not go into detail on some things, you will either find yourself with a throbbing jaw or swimming in a bucket of tears.
(5) I'm very self-conscious. I know it's wrong of me to say I'm fat! or I'm ugly! but that arises from a number of personal reasons I cannot list. Just slap me back into place and I'll be fine.
