What are your best and worst qualities?

Thanks, iggy. Unfortunately some glitch is causing a pop up that says I have already kudoed you.

Not a joke, y'all. She's really on a fact-finding mission.
What's the name of your book, CL?

"How I Took Over the World and Became God's Favorite Starting with the Heathens of AF"

(I was talking about my comment to Capn being a joke, where I said he's ugly. Obviously I am serious about taking over the world.) 

Best of luck to you...seriously!

Share the one thing you think is best about yourself, and the one thing you think is worst about yourself.

Here are mine:  

I think my best quality is compassion. I always feel with the other person and I feel really awful if I ever hurt someone's feelings or make someone feel sad, embarrassed, uncomfortable, etc. Even when someone is being a jerk I usually can't bring myself to be mean to them. Perfect example is this: I often get phone calls from scammers, pretending to work at my bank or for my internet provider, etc, when really they're crooks trying to steal all my money. Usually they call and tell me there's a problem with my _____ and start asking for personal information. Obviously I always know they are scammers, like, immediately. But I can never bring myself to stay on the phone and call them out on their BS and harass them. I always just hang up. And with animals, of course, all it takes is for me to see one and I'm immediately involved and need to help it. I can't walk away from an animal in any sort of distress. That's why I can't go into animal shelters. 

Now time to make myself vulnerable - The worst thing about me I would have to say is vanity. I'm very much into appearances of people and things. I'm a super visual person, so I love beautiful things and beautiful people. I want my house to always look really nice and I want my husband to stay in shape and dress nice. I'm critical of my own appearances and always strive to look better, and feel horrified when a bad picture of me gets put on facebook. I like to have nice clothes, nice things, and I like to present myself and mine in a way that looks good, visually.  I always admire women who are super pretty and spend a little too much time looking at pictures of them on google images and wishing I could look like them. I know this makes me seem like a really superficial person, and I won't deny that. Obviously I care about "what's on the inside" as well, very much, but I do care about appearances more than I should.   

What about yall? Best and worst thing?

I'm not very good at dealing with failure.

I have nothing good to say about myself. It's an idiotic notion, anyway.

I will say something good about you, EP. You are very sexy.

[Excited Penguin]

Presenting that sort of information about yourself in that way is nothing more than vanity on display. It doesn't inspire me to be more compassionate from what I read about you. If anything, it makes me think you're kind of shallow for even saying that. You're either good at something for its own sake or you're really not and trying to make up for it by pretending you are to the point you actually believe that you are. If you were really that compassionate about people and animals you wouldn't have the time to talk about it - nor would you wish to.

[Excited Penguin]

I know I am.

I feel sorry for you sometimes EP.

On the one hand you say you're narcissistic and on the other hand you refuse to say anything good about yourself and you have difficulty accepting compliments?

I'll say one of your good qualities: You analyse well.

[Excited Penguin]

This is pointless.

Ok, I'll play this game. Let me say some good things about you guys.

CL, you're extremely manipulative. And you know it too.

Evie, your best quality right now is sometimes agreeing with me, even though you don't admit that you do.

I am manipulative. In bed. With you.
