Oh, and i found this one somewhere ... but i can't remember where. It is, however, a personal thing (i.e. your own answers, not someone elses), unlike the previous one.

1. List your 3 best qualities
2. List your 3 worst flaws
3. List your 3 best friends
4. List your 3 worst enemies
5. List your 3 favourite memories
6. List your 3 greatest fears
7. List your 3 favourite songs/pieces of music
8. List your 3 favourite books/series of books

1. List your 3 best qualities
- I listen to and observe people instead of shoving myself into a conversation or situation and expecting myself to be the centre of attention (unless I know the people really well) ... I like this because even though it makes me look and feel anti-social at times, I would just rather be the listener than the talker. This probably stems from the fact that I think my life is quite boring usually (quite deprived experience-wise - never been anywhere other than North Coast and South Coast [let alone outside Australia], never seen live music [even though my Mike has a band], that kinda thing) and that I therefore don't think I have anything to talk about. Good stemming from bad.
- I am generally well-tempered ... I think ... *insert eyebrow raising here*. I can usually get along with people and be friendly, unless they seriously piss me off and then thoughts of grr and arg enter my mind. That is, of course, the clean version.
- My imagination. So may times has my imagination kept me awake in Geography while waiting for the other students to finsih copying a single page of overheads, which usually takes half a lesson (roughly half an hour/25 minutes). That and giving me daymares and Visions, of course, which frequent my daily life. I think it also helps that I am not too bad with a pen or pencil which allows me to record my imagination as long as there is paper or enough skin at the ready.
2. List your 3 worst character flaws
- OVER-THINKING - this is an unfortunate repurcussion of the Imagination. My mind often decides to figure out the worst ways something can happen and then convince me it will happen that way. Many scenes of death and destruction have befallen upon my mind due to this curse. Oh well. So what if I can't turn my brain off?
- UP-TIGHT PRETENTIOUS PRICKness - this is a direct result of over-thinking and over-analysing every situation, sentence and structure of mind that treads my path, often causing minor skirmishes withing my friend-group. This has recently earnt me the nick-name Dr. Faber - thanks d_vinci. No, really.
- I often don't think carefully enough about what I say before I say it. Often, I am left 'um'ing and 'aah'ing because I loose my train of thought, usually because I go off on a tangent and start talking about something completely un-related and unprepared. Tangents can be fun, don't get me wrong, and excellent if you are trying to change the topic, but not if you are trying to have a serious conversation.
3. List your 3 best friends
Note: this is in no particular order.
- hydeist_
- ashtray_girl633
- d_vinci and dawn_of_buffy ... these two are on equal footing so I thought I should list them as one.
4. List your 3 worst enemies
- a guy who left in year 10 that followed me to Lewo from our old school - his favourite nickname for me was ... never mind, but he did have an entire "hate [name]" page devoted to none other than myself.
- um, to be honest other than him, I cannot think of anyone
- so I wil leave this one blank too
5. List your 3 favourite memories
- Cyber Potassium ... now that was good ... even if most of you will think "WTF?", just take my word for it
- singing ... wherever, whenever and whyever (? ... eyebrows again) my memory tells me, I loved them all I think.
- Drury inviting me to sing at the first Latin High Mass in 50 years in Australia ... actually being able to sing at it would have been better (I love Latin and Gregorian chants are the best) but being offered it was phenomenal ... just fantasising ... I know, 'sad', but I don't care... there are probably better memories in there, but I am currently having difficulty dredging them up out of the dark, dank, cold and lifeless depths of my insanity-ridden mind.
6. List your 3 greatest fears
- FAILURE
- I'm not really afraid of this, but I certainly don't feel comfortable in wide open areas, expanses of space, and seas of people if there are walls surrounding them and I am not moving... hmm, how to explain... sitting down in the Rain/Tear Drop Foodcourt at Roselands to eat dinner was once offered to me one night ages ago, but I turned it down because I didn't like how open, yet confined, that the area was. I dunno, just nod and back away slowly.
- I don't have any other irrational fears like a fear of thunder or certain colours, nor fears of insects like wasps and bees, nor of Serial Killers stalking me and killing me in my sleep. I do hate and despise and loath the foul spawns of Satan - the cherry and the mushroom. I hope that counts.
7. List your 3 favourite songs/pieces of music/musical artists
- Kissing You - Des Res (I think thats how you spell her name, but I cbb getting the sheet music now) and Tim Attack (I think)
- Show Me - Midnight Swim
- Get Gotten - Ben Lee
8. List your 3 favourite books/series of books
- Abhorsen series (of which Lirael was the best)
- Wind Singer series
- Obernewtyn Chronicles ... a series which I don't believe has been finished seeing as the quest only just began even though the books stopped being released. grr.

Hope you enjoyed that. :>
