I'm a passionate, caring person by nature but sometimes the whole giving a damn about others perceptions of me and my life is exhausting. And I wish I could just not care but for some odd reason I do... I also don't play poker. Not sure I'd be so good at it considering the only guy who ever taught me how to play taught me how to lose. Of course I didn't know that at the time :) .-= Nora´s last blog ..<a href="http://walkingwithnora.com/2010/03/05/weekend-recommendation/" rel="nofollow">Weekend Recommendation</a> =-.

I have a friend who has almost too good a poker face. She's so good at it that I can never tell if she's being genuine or being fake. I wish I was better at being patient with people. In fact, I gave up being annoyed at people for lent. It's been hard. I get frustrated at people's idiosyncrasies. One of my favorite things about myself is that I really strive to be all that I can be. That sounds like I'm in the army or something, but honestly I don't participate in something unless I put my whole being into it. I like that trait in myself because then I usually do well at my job, at my hobbies, etc. .-= Gooseberried´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.gooseberried.com/starboard/2010/03/happy-weekend.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Weekend!</a> =-.

It's horrible and anyone can call me out on it. But I think it's a good thing overall, right? (Of course it is.) One of my favorite things about myself is that over the past few years, I've learned to be flexible with everything. You want to go to dinner in five minutes? Sure, let me run home and change my makeup. Stay late after work? I don't necessarily want to, but I will. And planning a wedding where there are SO MANY VARIABLES? Sign me up. Because I totally wasn't flexible a few years ago, and it's a nice change. It makes life more spontaneous. .-= E.P.´s last blog ..<a href="http://thespeckledpalate.com" rel="nofollow">That ticking sound</a> =-. I'm the SAME WAY when I lie.

However, making it a habit does more harm to us than they are with others. I guess it all goes down to our intentions, if we have to lie, then it must be for a good purpose. On your parting question, what I like about myself is my ability to learn and accept new ideas and not stubbornly clinging to what I already know. :-) Methinks that there are times when have have no choice but to lie.

Like ChelseaTalksSmack, I can also do anything, anything at all, and that is my favourite part about me. I might run for President on the Freak Party Ticket along with Mr. Chips in 2012, and if I'm bored, I just might win it. Watch out, strange rumblings all along the Pacific Coast these days, and I just watched a Lebanese woman breast feed a chimpanzee on Floyd's patio, may you live in weird times, mahalo... .-= Sal Riley´s last blog ..<a href="http://theanarchistproject.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/inspiring-toes-2/" rel="nofollow">Inspiring Toes</a> =-.

But, for a long time, I thought I was good at it. I had a few people set me straight. When I was younger, I did lie occasionally and I was more manipulative, but it always left me feeling so nervous and guilty. I gave it up at some point and life is so much easier. I haven't reached the point yet where I'm good at verbalizing the way I feel to people, but at least it's written across my face, so it's not a total mystery. I totally fail at Poker Face too.

Like seriously, never. And even I do lie and can get past the facial expressions, I always end up breaking in the end and telling the truth. It's a curse and a blessing I suppose.

Else, they lose. They are not the riverboat gamblers that "graces" our family tree. These new 'gamblers' are all fakes! Which is why I don't watch their 'fake' poker or take any part in it.
