1 - Procrastination - I definetely do put off tomorrow thngs that I can do today!! In terms of my writng, I usually have some free time to do this but often find myself looking for something better to do!! I dont like this characterisitic as if I had this attitude with everything in life, nothing would get done!
2 - Being self -centred! - now as a Mum, this is really not a good thing to admit, but yes, I can be self centred, thinking the whole world revolves around me! Not so much as a parent, as my son comes first, but when I want something, Ill do anything to get it and wont let anyone stand in my way!! Ooh, not a nice characteristic but then thats the whole point of this list!! (Starting to dislike myself even more...!)
3- Learning to keep my mouth shut!! - I can be a bit too honest when I dont realise it, but sometimes its necessary! I like to stick up for myself where others wouldnt, but then not everyone likes to hear the truth and this is where my downfall lies! Still, I wont be changing this any time soon as we are in a generation of foul mouthed people, mostly unnecessary, yet I only open my gob when and where it is needed, not because I love the sound of my own voice!! My mum always said my mouth would get me into trouble one day!
4 - Mood Swings - as my fiance kindly pointed out to me just now, my mood swings seem to be a bit of an issue!! Not sure if I would class this as a characteristic, rather something us women are born with! But yes, I admit through gritted teeth, that my moods can change from hyperactive hysterical girl, to quiet, irritable woman!! And worst of all, I let it out on my nearest and dearest, mostly my fiance. If I could change this, I would, but my darling Dean, I am a woman and this is not gonna happen any time soon!!
5: Learn to think of more characteristics I dont like in me!! - Yes, cheating a little, but I found this list hard and like I said,not because I think im perfect but because the negative things about me are probably what other people see in me, and not what I see. Far from it, Im sure during the week I will pick up on things that I should put in this list, so maybe ill come back and add to it!! *walks away from laptop sulking...!*
A great list. I too have mood swings on a daily basis and this I need to change but not enough room on the list! I could have found 10 things which is a bit worrying! x
ReplyDeleteI don't mind procrastination as a trait, er, well, yes, actually I do, it irritate the hell out of me. Mind you, on the other hand, it's better than just leaping in. No, it's not, what if someone was drowning? Yes, but they might be just waving and enjoying themselves. Ooh, I don't know :)

ReplyDeleteLove that you had trouble thinking of 5 - that's a very good sign!
ReplyDeletelol, thanks kate!! yes i love a challenge from time to time! xx
ReplyDeleteAnother list with things that apply to me, but that aren't on my list. Though your 'procastination' is similar to my 'easily sidetracked' I suppose.
