    Hey guys, you have really talked tall and revealed mountain. One fundemental issue was forgot by all of you i.e What are the way of extricating oneself from such imperfection? Can we, eh? Well I think I'll start trying......waiting

    3. I tend to be lazy too.
    4. I also tend to repeat myself. But I'm not sure whether that's a fault, it's just - I say something and while saying it, I think 'Hey, I can phrase that better, I'm afraid, they didn't really get what I wanted to say' and thus, say it again - with more detail.
    5. I am a worldclass sniveller. I can cry because of almost anything, preferably relatives making comments about my clothes, shoes, hairstyle, weight, et cetera.
    6. I tend to show what I'm feeling on my face. Really. Roll eyes at people who disturb my sense of justice with their sense of justice(Relatives again!), e.g.

    Yes, I am.

    Thank you, Kilted. My painfully humble nature was stopping me from posting an honest reply but now that you said it...

    Why, yes! Of course!

    I used to have this exact same problem...solved it by constantly repeating the following mantra in my head every time I opened my mouth:

    "Shut up Shannon." "Shut up Shannon." "Shut up Shannon."

    lol. It really forced me to get what I wanted out, and nothing more...and I saved all of the "better" ways of saying thigs for my writing...really improved my writing that way!

    edit: oh! yes, I also meant to say that I am trying to work on my little personality defects all the time, and it is so silly because I'll get them under control and then others will surface, so I think I should just wait for a set of defects to surface that I am okay with and let those stick, lol.

    You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.

    (just make sure you use your name instead of "Shannon"...unless of course your name is Shannon, or for some reason you call yourself Shannon in your head, then go right ahead and use it )

    No. I think I can remember to use my own name. Barely.
