I feel like I went way overboard. I put so much more work than what was required.
I need a vacation from essays.

I wasn't too sure on what I would write, so I kept erasing and putting in new sentences to make everything looked good. And by my last adjective, I was so tired. That paragraph wasn't very good IMO because it wasn't organized well. Plus, it was my most important adjective, so I'm kinda disappointed in myself.
Anyway, gotta go to bed.

Can you imagine the reason for eliminating someone this round?
"I'm sorry, you're ugly. Please leave."

I didn't use a picture from prom. I just thought it was funny I had prom around the time of the photo challenge.

Right, let's get this over with.
Weepy
I weep. A lot. I wept while watching 'When You're Gone' (poor old man ), I cried like a child while watching 'The Last Unicorn', and I am truly upset right now that Radar horse is dead. Give me a soppy ballad or a movie with a tiny animal in it or a young man struggling to understand his life and I will cry buckets for you. Repeatedly. I don't get desensitized the more times I watch something. No, I get more upset, because I remember how sad I was the last time and that winds me up further.
Awkward
When I'm not surrounded by a protective circle of friends, I'm magnificently awkward. I phrase it like this because I almost make it an art. I just spent a good twenty minutes dodging an acquaintance from college while grocery shopping. I swear, you can't even go pick up some ice cream these days without people you barely know forcing you into acknowledging them upon eye contact. It's like a damn game of Pokemon. And then as I was walking back after a semi-successful mission I bumped into another acquaintance just casually pissing on the side of the street. I don't even... He was all like, "Heyheyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Julian" while spraying down the street with his...vileness and I went "yeahhhhhhhhh whoop" and kept walking.
Ridiculous
If I don't know what to say, or how to react appropriately, or just can't be assed meeting someone with a proper greeting, I pull the face seen at the start of this entry, or some variation of it. A quick and easy way to acknowledge something and get a quick laugh before moving on.
When online, I actually greet people with song, usually the lyrics of whatever I have on iTunes typed out in caps. They make for interesting conversation starters. Well, no. But they let people know I want to talk to them.
From earlier today. It may look like the conversation ended there, but he actually went on to talk to me about how he's wanted to be a veterinarian since he was a wee child, and then came out to me.
Decisive(?)
I can't ever decide on what I want to eat. Or watch. Or say. I often struggle to decide which route I'll take to my morning classes. I usually just pick the quickest option and go with that. It's the simplest living, honestly. I've grown up wasting so much time considering all my options that I now just go with whatever comes first. It takes too much effort and causes too much stress to worry about weighing them all, so I no longer bother. I'd rather just pick something at random and find out later that it wasn't the best choice than spend hours on it and be crushed when I realize my carefully thought out decision was the wrong one.
------
I'm going to keep it at four adjectives because describing myself isn't my cup of tea. Also, +50 points for any judge who realized that my adjectives abbreviated spell out " WARD". Not as in psych ward, but Shayne Ward. Y'all thought I was the one being tested, but I flipped this **** around. Though that was actually just a happy coincidence. Perhaps Godney sent this as a sign that we were meant to be? Anyways, ty for reading and all that. Long live Bryan Adams.

Shy and fearful are definitely negative personality traits to have, but it's sometimes nice to be honest with ourselves. I'm a shy person in real life, but I'm starting to become more outgoing recently and life has been going very well for me lately. Overall however, shyness has definitely been a major part of my life. Being fearful is a negative trait to possess as well, but it's true in my life. Throughout my life I have had problems admitting things to other people and even to myself out of fear of what could happen as a consequence.
Being creative is the only positive personality trait that I believe I possess. Over the course of the life, I have been involved in many things in and outside of school that have pushed me creatively. I am someone who most people would characterize as a "deep thinker" or "an awkward quiet person". I would characterize myself as someone who is very opposed to the typical.
- - - - -
I chose a person with a paper bag over their head because it displays exactly how I want to portray myself to the world. Someone who has no personality, character, identity, or purpose. I would like to portray myself as someone who wants to just "blend in with the crowd" however, that never seems to occur in my real life.

This picture was at a party where at one point a few friends picked me up and threw me in the pool. This is one of my favorite pictures of myself cause it shows how I really am.
Outgoing - I like to be in an environment where I can go all out and get crazy. At a party, life's good and there's nothing to worry about. Just let go of the stress and focus about having a good time.
Wacky - I'm a strange guy. Really quirky and odd, but in a good way. I'm not a simple person and I don't try to be. Only I can rise out of a pool with such grace and class. Just that weird.
Energetic - I'm a wild and crazy kind of person. Very out-there and all that. I think this picture shows that pretty well overall. I look lively and energetic in it. |

I chose these five adjectives to describe myself as I felt this photo encompassed all these attributes. I chose a photo of me from this past Halloween as it allowed my outgoing, fun personality to interact with my sophisticated, classy, and mature self. Halloween for me is a time where you can lower your inhibitions, and be yourself without fear of judgment. As such, dressing up as a "dark angel" allowed me to ironically shine a light on my outgoing and fun side. However, despite being in a ridiculously skin tight costume wearing jewellery and eye makeup, I was able to maintain true to myself and brought a sense of class, sophistication and maturity to the costume. As you can see in the image, I maintained my own standard for myself in the midst of a ravaging house party. I feel this image represents that when necessary, I can always bring out different aspects of myself while maintaining my primary sophisticated, classy, and mature demeanor.

I've come up with four different adjectives that most strongly represent who I am and my daily actions. I hope you enjoy
M O D E L E S Q U E: When people take pictures, they have the inclination of putting a smile or frown on their face, depending on their mood. Whether I'm taking a picture, or just being seen anywhere, I always make sure I look like a model. With these traits of mine, I'm certain you'll be screaming 'MODEL' in your head:
1. Variety Of Style - I can go all out in jock, punk, country/southern, hood, or a nerdy look, and still have spunk. To me, it's a top priority to have a different style each day of the week. Most of all, I love understanding the point of views of different people and their everyday feelings/actions.
2. Signature Walk - With one leg over the other, hips swerving, and hands in each pocket, I have the perfect signature walk. I use this walk whenever I'm in a positive, pro-life (loving every day of my life) attitude, not paying attention to any negative criticism people give me.
3. Dark Hazel Eyes - A knockout for sure. This is the trait I've gotten the most compliments on. When I take pictures of myself on a sunny, pleasant day, I make sure my eyes are focused on the sunlight. The reflection manages to brighten them to brighten with a collection of elegant colors exposed. I don't know how it happens, but next thing you know, girls are coming up begging to have eyes like mine.
4. Mocha Frappé Skin - I've been told my skin is just the right color; not too much vanilla, not too much chocolate. It's like I get the best of both worlds. My skin color is so flawless in my opinion that I'd always cover it up at the beach, just so the UV light won't slightly darken it. In pictures, I am always seen running my fingers down my face. Not only is it the color, but it's texture is as soft as a teddy bear.
I N T E L L I G E N T: Based on how I always act like a party animal on this website, y'all probably expect me to be a complete dunce. But you'll be surprised to see my intelligence.
Well, I was born and raised by an 'A+' family. My parents, uncles, aunts, etc. have all gotten at least their Master's Degree. As a child, I didn't have many friends in my neighborhood, since I was almost always locked up in the house. My family did not play when it came to schoolwork, and always encouraged/helped me to succeed on every quiz and assignment given. They've constantly reminded me about people living on the street because of their poor overall grades in school, which terrifies me to this day. So, I put my 100% effort into every school-related classwork, and especially make sure to turn in my homework before the deadline.
My dream job is to be an insurance agent, like my father does. Even though my parents knew I was doing great in school, they still criticized me, saying that the job is "too high of a goal for me". You might think that's the worst thing a parent can say, but I disagree. I'm not the person that would run and cry in a corner if someone were to tease or laugh at me. It would only motivate me to become the best that I can be.
Now, I am on top of the world with my grades. I'm #7 in my class ranking out of 740 other freshmen, have a GPA of 4.3, and slay the lessors with straight A's in every single one of my classes. I wanna thank my parents for being so strict and encouraging. I would'nt even think of becoming an insurance agent if it weren't for them.
G U L L I B L E: I've mentioned in this thread that everyone labels me "gullible". Usually, what people say about me is false, but this is a certified fact. I'll give you a few examples of how I believe anything someone says:
1. Person: I went to Niagra Falls.
Me: Cool! What did you do?
Person: Jumped from the top part of the falls to the bottom
Me: Wow! You must be brave! I would never do such a thing.
Person:
2. Person: I just came back from shopping with Janet and Rihanna.
Me: Really? Awesome! Did you take a pic with them?
Person: *shows easily Photoshopped picture of her, Janet, and Rih*
Me: Omg that's amazing! You are the luckiest person on earth. First, you're dad invented the iPhone, then Jay-Z came to your house, now this!
Person: Um..
I remember this next story like it happened just yesterday...
As a child, I would take everything as a simple joke. Whenever my mom told me that getting carrots were good for your eyes, I would reply with "surrrrrreee ". If she told me that there were dirty things in our pool I'd reply with "yeah, right " and jump in the pool anyway. One day, I assume she just couldn't take the disobeying anymore. She gave me the whoopin of a lifetime. She spanked me with that leatha belt like her life depended on it. I whimpered and produced a small puddle of tears from the unbearable pain. She then exclaimed "Don't take me seriously, and you'll see what happens next" or something like that. I kept my big mouth shut and from that day on, I take everyone seriously no matter how rediculous their imaginary stories sound.
F U N: This adjective solidifies that I am the complete package. Y'all always see that I'm up in this thread posting all these YouTube clips and spittin the lyrics in an illiterate manner. The thing is I always find something to do in this snoorfest dungeon I call home. I'll cook brownies, blast my radio to the maximum and rap, watch 90's chick flicks that give me memories, bootyshake, and log onto ATRL to have a nice convo with the friendly members.
I am known as the "party starter" in my group of friends at school. Frequently, the conversations get awkward and nobody talks. Sometimes, I'll pull out my iPhone and blast out 'Bon-Qui-Qui at King Burger', and we'll scream out our favorite lines. Or other times, I'II pull out my iPod and blast out a nice and slow R&B jam (usually "Dance For You"), which gets my friends CRAZY. We all get up and do our choreography in the dead center of the cafeteria (who gon check us anyway?). Occasionally, I give my friends some choreography and vocal lessons (two precious gifts from God), since the majority of them would kill to be an artist about 6 years from now.
I enjoy music very much as well. On Friday's, I sit my lazy bum on the computer for about three to four hours just lippin the music. This is where my personality shines the most. In my avatar, I am shown rapping "Beez In The Trap", and you can infer that I'm really into the song. Whenenver a jam shows up on my playlist, I find myself making the weirdest faces. Nicki's alter ego has inspired me tremendously in the past few years. My mom sometimes busts in the door to check on me. When she first spotted my alien-like expressions and overheard my demon-like manner of rapping, she took me to the doctor's office to see if I was developing autism.
I believe my personality is an easy standout and sets me apart from the rest of the competitors. Whether I'm model-like, ready for success, great to be around with, or just plain clueless to people's sarcasm, I am definitely capable of winning this competition. My motto is to just live life each day to the fullest and not care what other envious people have to say.

Hold up. Some of y'all wrote novels for a challenge about submitting a photo and adjectives that describe you.
In the past cycle entries that Matty linked us to, everyone said what they had to say with concision and creativity.
The entries were quick and interesting, not long for the sake of being long.
Why can almost no one in our cycle do this?
