Lords a-Leaping: Ten things I like about my personality

1) I am sensitive to other people's emotions and I like to think that (sometimes) I have a good judgment on what is the right way to react at a given moment, whether it's to listen, or talk or hug.

2) I am creative. I love that my brain comes up with the most outrageous stories on the fly and then just runs with them, it's an incessant source of self-amusement.

3) I have no problem with silence and solitude. Sometimes a person just needs to ponder the world for a minute without being connected to everything and everyone at once.

4) I can pick up a conversation with someone after three years or three minutes of not talking and have something interesting to talk about.

5) I enjoy little things, doesn't take a lot to make me happy.

6) I take to new environments with surprising ease, even if I'm regularly scared shitless beforehand.

7) I trust my gut. If instinct tells me to do or don't, I've found I can rely on it to be the right thing for me at the time one way or the other.

8) I feel deeply. That sometimes gets me hurt, but more often, I'm experiencing the world or a song or a story more viscerally because of it and that is more important to me.

9) I'm curious and open-minded. Doesn't mean that I don't find myself having outdated trains of thought sometimes, but I'm proud to say I feel self-reflective enough that I at least try to not put my foot in my mouth most of the time.

10) I'm a stickler for details and make a point to work to make things run smoothly (for other people) because I like it when organisation and working hand in hand together is going well.



Ok, that was not as easy as the second one, but not as hard as the first. I have no idea if what I wrote down even constitutes personality per se, but I like that I found so many things I like about myself with little effort. That goes a long way from where I've started. And now I gotta go to work. *drop*

That is a good list and these are all good qualities. #3 and #10 struck a chord -- I, too, am perfectly fine with silence and solitude (though I might enjoy it too much) and also I prize organizational skills and attention to detail. Which is probably why I will never go to a Rogue convention (at least, based on what I have heard). :D

Heee, Rogue conventions were all I could hope to get to for some time, but I found the ones they hosted in Germany (the first two, those I've been to) not too badly organized really. I know the accounts of the 'Great Chaos Years' for the Asylum UK conventions of course, but I think they've learned quite a lot since then. Incidentally, I've enjoyed all of the cons I've been to most because I went with dear friends and met new ones every time.

I may be wrong -- it may have been the Asylum conventions that got the bad reviews for disorganization. I haven't been to either Rogue or Asylum cons, so I really shouldn't criticize. :D

Well, Rogue Events is the company that puts on the Asylum conventions, just to be clear, and I know that some were in fact pretty chaotic. They were the first one's to host the boys for a European audience after all. I think the German ones were good because a) the first was rather small (Misha, Jim and MarkP were the highest profile guests) in an intimate setting with a lot of the fans making their own 'program' and b) when we got the boys to visit at the second one, it was a very appropriate venue in size and all and we like to self-regulate a lot *g*. There were still lines and snags (printer failure, oh my...), but nothing I would personally say was unbearable.
