Last night some friends that I was dining with hit me with a very intriguing and time consuming conundrum.

What three words would you use to describe yourself?

Obviously, the first three that popped into my head almost immediately were fantastic, sexy and wonderful.

But then I thought I should think about it a little more.

And I think I have finally decided on my three.

1. Self-aware. I think I know myself pretty well and consider self-awareness to be just about the most important quality in a person. If you don't truly know yourself, you can never really be comfortable with yourself and all your vices and virtues.

2. Uncomplicated. My life is simple and it's going to stay that way. People or things that complicate my life usually don't last very long in it. I also think I rarely complicate the lives of others around me (ha, although there are a few people in my past who would probably strongly disagree with that...).

3. Intense. I am a little surprised with myself for choosing this one. Intense, to me, has a slightly negative connotation - it sometimes implies that someone is a little too much to handle. I still think it applies to me though, in the sense that if I have an opinion on something, it is generally a very intense one. I use superlatives a lot, and frequently deal in absolutes, declaring things to be 'the best/worst thing ever'. I also think I form intense friendships too - people can sometimes be surprised by how much I am willing to sacrifice for them after a short space of time, and how much I am willing to go out of my way to help them. So in this way it also encompasses loyalty, which is also very important to me. And even though it is very rare, when I love someone, it runs very deeply indeed.

So there's my three. I would be very interested in hearing yours. :)
