100 Things You Like About Yourself

[freakofnurture]

I applaud thee, Albatross! You seem to be a really kind, easy going person :) And I think you'd like a mixture of pretty and badass, because you sound exactly like that. Is that correct?

And since I will draw a picture for everyone who finishes their list, you can claim one all for yourself without hesitation :)

EDIT: Here's your picture, Albatross. The pretty pink is now a little more bluish than I intended because webcolours etc., but I think it's still pretty enough :D Pretty Pony is also badass because of her laser and the eye patch that shows that she's been through many a battle. Note the glitter on her hoofs and on the laser. The unit is controlled directly by her brain. The wires run subcutaneously to the underside of the laser unit.

What a great thread, would struggle to find 5 things at the moment lol. Will have to sit and think about this:unsure:

You nailed me, I my basic nature is kind but the badass comes out when necessary.

Pretty Pony is also badass because of her laser and the eye patch that shows that she's been through many a battle. Note the glitter on her hoofs and on the laser. The unit is controlled directly by her brain. The wires run subcutaneously to the underside of the laser unit.

The laser is very nice and I especially like the eyepatch. Thank you very much, you made me smile today.

@Serene: Congratulations :) I find your list inspiring; concerning social stuff you're the perfect opposite of me. I'll draw you a clown fish.
EDIT: There you go. It came out rather scary-cute, but I hope that's okay...


@Livergirl: My list will take a long time, too, I guess.

@Albatross: I'm glad you like it :D

The next person finishing their list will get a pretty little flower or an angry grizzly bear with a battle axe.

Well done everyone for such positive lists. I'd struggle to make one at the moment, but I'll be back.

2. My 4 octave voice and perfect tone

Awesome! I wish I had this. Do you sing in a group or choir or society? I LOVE MUSIC.

 

[The Albatross]

I've been in community choir, but haven't been able to go back yet after my last tramautic break. Me too, I sing by ear because I can't read music.

I followed Albatross here. This is a good idea. I don't know if I can do it, though. Certainly not as fast as she did!

1. I like my eyes. They're blue-grey and look green in some lights.
2. I can dance. I can even tango in heels. I've done square dancing, too. Corny.
3. I can bake bread and biscuits without a recipe. And pie, but I have to use a recipe.
4. I can usually keep plants alive. My sister envies me this one.
5. Babies trust me.
6. I don't mind scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees or getting dirty to get a job done.
7. I can remember colors when they're not with me and match fabrics without swatches.
8..... shoot. I ran out for now... Ok, wait. 8. I'm good in bed. (I know- TMI :speechless: But it is something I like about myself.)

 

[The Albatross]

To be fair, I did it on a word file and it took me a good while.

 

[KP the nut]

I admire you all. I think you could add that you are all brave, strong and compassionate people. I just can't see me starting this thread. 100 things - way to many at the moment.

Hugs to all
KP
