Welcome to Gaia! ::

One thing that makes us all human is our shortcomings and flaws. Somethings we do well, and others we may be terrible at. Is there anything you happen to not be proficient at? At work a little while back I was throwing around the pigskin with a workmate. Despite him tossing me perfect spirals, I couldn't catch a single pass. They bounced off my head, off my shoulders and out of my hands. I never felt lamer.

..Gee, where do I start? x.X

I think my biggest fault is my laziness- when I need to do something, I put it off until the very last minute if it isn't fun and don't always give myself enough time to do it. This tends to be a big problem- despite boundless potential, it's put to waste when I don't take the initiative to use it.

Physically, I'm a little overweight, I have a slightly receding hairline, and if you add a few more hairs to me I'd be a bear. In the lattermost case, considering the current trend is a lithe, hairless body (Yes, I'm referring to emo-kids. Prove me wrong. =o), I'm shafted. Seriously, in a different culture and a different time, I'd have been sexy in a viking-barbarian sense. XD

Mentally, I have very low bullshit tolerance- this is mostly because I've put up with enough of it. I'm also extremely opinionated, which is a bit hypocritical: I firmly believe that questioning one's beliefs and accepting that one could be wrong would solve a lot of problems today via forcing others to explore the 'why' of their convictions rather then being fed what they've been told to believe, I manage to have strong, often unwavering opinions.

Granted, these opinions are often correct; but the point is, in the unlikely event that any of them were disproven, I'd be forced to do what a lot of people have to do today: question my beliefs and possibly change, or stick to my guns and ignore any evidence to the contrary.

Socially, my flaw is my lack of social hobbies that have me interact with others in my area in anything more then a limited basis. Video games, anime, Magic: the Gathering, movies, and reading aren't very social. The only thing that gets me interacting with others around me is the Internet- and even then, that isn't local. I'm very unlikely to find the people I type to on the web in real life.

The thing is, we call these things imperfections- but these are also the things that stand out the most in people. Nobody will have the motley crew of merits and flaws that I have, or Koiyuki has, or zzang has, etc.

And for the record, I can't catch a football OR speak Japanese. =p I played Defensive Lineman in high school, and Japanese isn't a language spoken locally. If these things are the only things you two have as flaws...Well, you're a hell of a lot closer to perfection then I'll ever be. =D

Hmm I suppose I'd have to admit one more...I am sorta a liar too...on the scale of massive compulsory lies.
