What quality in your best friend are you most envious of and why?
Actually three friends come to mind who have qualities of which I'm envious:
Spontaneity/Free Spirit // Liz
It's hard to describe but she has this spark, this freedom about her. This is the girl who will jump up and drive 7 hours to just hangout for the day.
Hussle // Michelle
I actually call her the Hustler. You could drop her off any where, in any situation and she'd be running that joint within a matter of minutes.
Charisma // Natasha
This girl has the most infectious personality; people flock to her like some new drug.
What's the one thing you're most neurotic about?
These days, the better question would be, "What one thing are you least neurotic about?" Maybe I could answer that one, maybe.
Why do you think it is some people don't get along with you?
Uuh, they can't accept my greatness? Seriously, most people get along with me. The people who don't usually are the ones who can't cope with my directness. I've been called blunt a few times in my life, even though I censor.
Do you have a particular "catch phrase" for which you are known?

Apparently, I say "here's the thing," often.
How are you celebrating St. Patrick's Day?
I ate lots of peanut butter "crack" cookies and cupcakes brought into work by The Pusher. After work we went for a few drinks and food. Now I'm about to fall asleep watch a show or something (translation, fall asleep).
What is your favorite quote and why?
This isn't so much a "quote" but it's meaningful to me...from The Four Agreements:
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
What is a "charmed life"?
At this point, I'd say one free of worry over major issues.
Are you a go-getter or do you wait for good things to happen to you?
Submitted by sleepybear.
I'm more of a go-getter. I used to wait, until I woke up one day and realized I'd spent my whole life waiting (with, as you can imagine, poor results). I can't get that time back but I can use the time I have now wisely.
What's the worst thing that could happen to you today? Bonus question: How would that thing potentially benefit you?
I wouldn't dare to take a guess. Besides, I've found that the worst thing you think can happen usually isn't. There are always worse things than you can imagine. At least there's balance though. The best you can think of for yourself can also be topped.
What aspect of your personality could use a little work?
Can anyone answer this question honestly? I mean how would one know, there's always the chance that perception is off. Still, I'm going out on a limb and say perhaps I could work on my bluntness? And that's how "they" describe it. I don't think I'm blunt so much as to the point in an assertive manner. Plus, look at it this way--I'm unlikely to try and bullshit you or bother with disingenuous action. But it's improbable, not completely unfathomable.
