How would you describe yourself - personality wise?

Tom Dunne

I've been too afraid to post lurking for the past while observing the various personalities on the Ladies Lounge. But it can be quite difficult to determine personalities from this side of a laptop screen.

Not looks, not size, not hair colour - personality. How would you describe yours?

I would describe myself as a cross between Chandler Bing:

and Niles Crane (Frasier):


I have a great sense of humour, like to laugh a lot, but can be a touch neurotic some times (remind me to tell you about the Niles Crane incident at the truck stop in Luxembourg).

So - how would you describe your personality?

Jules

I think like most women i have a bit of each of these ladies personalities in me.....



Sorry for stealing the idea Lady J but i was looking for a good female to get across how neurotic i can be...

Tom Dunne

AND you make banoffi?

Wow.

Ginny

Well I've been told

For being so logical and science-y

For the ditziness

For being slightly neutotic and anal(hur hur)

For the feistyness.

I think I'm just me...:D oh and Brother Tom this has been noted:D

LadyJ

This guy pretty much sums up the way I look at the world. He says most of the things that I think.

Oh and this woman sums up the side of my that would do anything for liberty, justice and equality.



Rosa Parks, in case no one recognises her.


So in other words I'm a disgruntled, straight talking, bleeding heart liberal......who makes the most inapropriate jokes whenever she gets the chance!

Oh yes. I have a large degree of Bernard as well. Especially in work. My office is usually an absolute mess. I saw a millipede crawling up my wall recently. Given it a bit of a clean since then. (The office, not the millipede, although a clean millipede is a happy millipede as my Uncle Bingo used to always say) I also have to run an internet café as part of my job... and I absolutely hate people coming in and using it. I really can't understand why they don't just go off to some better internet café.



I'd also have a lot of Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactia. I tend to be pretty good at manipulating and weaseling out of situations and landing on my feet.

I'd go with Ben from Lost for the same reason.



And of course a large helping of Larry David, as I always seem to get embroiled in stupid situations that just seem to continually escalate to ridiculous proportions.



Hmmm... can I stick in Mojo Jojo too? For the occasions when I get mad.

pow wow

I'm unique....:D

I was more referring to Dylan Moran's stand-up but I guess Bernard factors into that anyway!

I should have stuck LD in too. I do have a glimmer of him in me.
Also,



just to cover my neurotic side.

Oryx

Just as ditzy.

Cant play guitar, though when you think about it, neither could she.

No, it's fine, once it is done in moderation.

And as long as a Brother doesn't get involved in the "girly" threads.

I still don't know what a menstrual cup is and I don't think I want to.

Ginny

You really don't, I'm sorry I even do.

Ah yes... the good old menstrual cup thread. A classic example of a thread that men don't want anything to do with.

SarahSassy

Well I have been told by many, many strangers on planes, trains and in automobiles (no thats a lie), in pubs that I look like Toni Colette (hopefully they dont mean in 'About a boy' ) ...

From interviews I have seen of her I like to think we have some of the following traits in common:

1. Independent
2. Friendly
3. Open
4. Reasonably smart
5. Adventerous
6. An interest in people in general
7. Ability to see the BS all around and not get caught up in it.
8. Straight talking
9. Giggly and enjoy humour and good company

Obviously, I dont know her and she could be a total cow but Im willing to hazard a guess about her

Well in fairness I am well capable of spouting a bit of BS myself when it suits me

Ruu_Old

Shy in real life (tm), often terrified of small situations and takes me a while to get warmed up social areas then I sometimes have to stop myself from going too far. Unpredictable at times. Try to please other people more often that I should, working on that. Probably a mix between..

I like this thread - it's really interesting seeing what everyone's apparently like in real life. I wonder how many people will just put forward the good sides of themselves though, or maybe how they would like to be seen, rather than how they actually are?

Looks like most people have put across their bad sides too!

Yeah, I was surprised at the number of people who described themselves as ditzy!

metaoblivia

It took me a while to think of someone I'm like, but then it hit me. I'm a lot like the title character from Veronica Mars



Sassy, analytical, intense, resourceful, not incredibly social, but not shy either, not afraid to be disliked or take the unpopular stance. I'm also difficult to get to know - I put up a lot of walls. But I'm loyal to the few close friends I have. I have a temper, and I have been known to exact revenge on occasion. Oh and I love solving a good mystery

Creamy Goodness

i can't think of big syllable words or famous people to describe me so i'll just use sentences...

i take a good while to get to know people which tends to lead to some awkard silences which tends to lead to people thinking i'm rude or just too far up my own ass.

i can be really sarcastic when it suits me

i can't lie, when i do you can tell i'm lying because i'll have a smile on my face.

i also tend to over analyse things and think about things that don't have any significance eg. i could be on a bus and see and see someone walking/driving and i then think about where could they be going/what's it look like or see a street sign and wonder how it was made and where and who made it.

P.S seeing that picture of veronica mars, made me shiver.

Crumble Froo

complete dreamer, sensitive, stubborn, quirky, rambly, excitable, moody, shy, open but very people-wary, worrier, escapist, easily amused, huggy, obsessive, passionate, affectionate.

edit: just reading the first page, and can i add everything ruu said to my personality please? that is kinda me to a T.

It is a "describe yourself" thingy. I just so happen to describe myself using two sitcom stars.

Describe yourself whatever way you want.

Baudelaire

I'm intelligent, funny, a bit quirky at times, overly affectionate, I love doing silly things just for the sake of it and to have a laugh, I never take anything seriously, I can be stubborn at times, I'm a bit to selfless and for someone I cared about I'd do anything to make them happy, I'm really social but I talk way to much and it can be hard to shut me up

I can't think of anyone famous I'd compare myself, sorry

Nightwish

I like to think I'm a bit neurotic, shy, withdrawn, over affectionate with a pinch of intelligence thrown in. I dont know who that describes though - Garth Marenghi?

...author, dreamweaver, visionary plus actor....

:eek: Ok, apart from the selfless bit, it's scary how similar to me you sound. :eek:

No wonder you are fitting into BGRH so well.

That is me! Narco, Get your own personality!!

I can also be a complete headwrecker at times and have absolutely no will power when it comes to certain people in my life!

Crumble Froo

good thing i posted first, or people would think i was just copying you.

copycat.

Nevyn

What lies you are all just copying me :P

neuro-praxis

What a load of vain nonsense!

I notice none of you are selfish or boring.

I don't consider myself boring. Other people may. I don't particularly care.

And I admit I am selfish sometimes. But everyone is so it goes without saying doesn't it?

I don't care what any of you are like in real life.
As I'm sure you would be bored to tears with a list of my attributes.

This thread makes me want to scream.

Baudelaire

I'm selfish, manipulative, biggoted, over-bearing, needy, possive, jealous, aggressive, pull the wings off flies and staple mice's ears to their feet. but I'm not boring.

I won't list a bunch of personality traits, but two things that give away what I'm like are that I'm an atheistic animal rights freak... Oh, and I love Bill Bailey

Maybe not boring or selfish but I did compare myself to Dylan Moran. He's angry and obnoxious.
