I'm thinking, I'm thinking. Give me a while and I'll come up with SOMETHING, I'm sure.

I'm a stubborn, prideful hot head. Then again, I'm a Leo (I often liken myself to a lioness).

I tend to blow a fuse when I see people not using common sense.

I tend to be overly sensitive. I always think people are "making fun" of me, or mocking me.

I get angry about the above, especially when it involves husband or children "making fun" of me, or mocking me. And I have a really hard time letting go of it.

When family is not involved, then I tend to internalize it, which depresses me. Regardless of who is involved, it usually makes me question the value of my existence.

Hell, I have a million flaws. The above is just the very worst and the thing I would like to change about myself.

Shyness. And I missed out on a lot of good times because of it. I envy pushy, outgoing folks but cannot be like that. My loss.

I have many flaws, but my worst is probably losing my temper over the most insignificant things. Sometimes over a minor annoyance or inconvenience. I've broken mirrors, computer screens, hairbrushes, lamps, phones, kicked a hole in the wall, broken the bathtub faucet with my fist which required a professional to fix, etc. Then a half-hour later I realize that it wasn't worth it and I feel bad. And I know while I'm doing it that it's not going to be worth it, but I'm unable to stop. For 30 seconds I'm like the Incredible Hulk. Sometimes I'm able to stop myself. People know I have a temper, but these big tantrums are usually done it private. Not to get too personal, but it's worse when my hormones are out of balance. I'm a nice person.

Impatience and bluntness. I say what everybody thinks.


I do what I say, don't make empty promises, and expect the same from others. Which doesn't work too well here in California.

Character flaws? Do you have all day?

Okay, I'm totally a type A person with a steam roller personality. I can mow you over in a second and not think anything of it.

I'm horribly impatient and have zero tolerance for stupidity.

I can be your biggest nightmare and a big handful.

I'm demanding of excellence and can be very hard on people if they fall short as well as myself if I fall short.

John is the only man in my life that has ever been able to handle me. Our life together has been difficult and very dynamic. Oh but the passion.

He was getting on my nerves so I banished him from the kingdom for a week. Hey, I was nice about it. He's having a great time at the air show in Osh Kosh in a ridiculously expensive hotel room for a week instead of camping in misery. Which in my twisted mind he deserves for being a rectum.

Right now it's all about me and I'm loving it

Maybe selfish should be added to the list? Nah. At least I insisted he be comfortable and in a happy place while I run amok and wallow in my freedom. ( I spent last night drinking wine and skinny dipping with one of my besties in her pool)

Okay, you can add crazy to the long list.

I don't have any flaws. The whole concept is rooted in the "original sin" mindset of value judgments.

From one Angeleno to another, I concur and vouch for this post; I'm the same way.

I have anger issues going back to my childhood. I also get anxiety easily.
