[...] Illusion did a blog post a few weeks ago entitled “Who Am I?” I thought it so brave of her to attempt to decipher who she is at this moment; who she has been, [...]

Oh! And there was a spec of dirt or something on my computer screen. And where it said, “I hate hurting people” it looked like “I hate hunting people.” And I was going to say, “yes, Ari, I don't imagine many people enjoying hunting other humans… Unless you're a vampire with enjoys Starbucks”

I think you're a good person. And I also feel like that's a really good nutshell.

Awwww. I always hate that “about me” bit too. This was cool, it's always really interesting to see how people see themselves. You're a lovely person. :)

First, let me say that I enjoy how you write things as if you were talking. It makes it really easy to understand... even with your accent.
Doing an "About Me" bit is too difficult. I never know if I need to be serious or not. So I end up going too serious and it looks like a CV. Although I'd be able to sum me up in two words.
Being a teacher or a photographer are more like occupations rather than something that solely define a person. What defines is pretty much everything else you described.
I like this: "We’ll start with the facts. I’m twenty-something." Chicken. :)
I also spend too much time on the net. Sometimes because I need to for work, basically I'm on the net as long as I'm at work. Some other times I just find it to be a good past-time. But I am guilty of net-ing too much. But having said that, I have found some good people on the net. :)
I guess being a nurse or a teacher form part of dealing with many different people and providing something to the community in a direct way. It shows the kind of character you have, it's a good thing.
I'm stubborn too. I hate admitting that I'm wrong, but I love to be proven that I'm wrong, it makes me learn.
How is your addiction to Starbucks a "probably"?
Are you one of those girls that keeps on picking someone else's food? You don't share yours, but do you steal someone else's edemame, for example!? :)
Accents... who needs them. I'd like to sell mine on ebay.
Friends should be noted for their quality, not their quantity. Very important.

I reckon your post shows how different people can be. And how many facets there are to all of us. I don't think there's any misdirection in any of your thoughts or ideas. (You're just a little bit weird). :)

It's ok to have confusion, as long as it encourages thinking and helps you get somewhere.

I think you missed mentioning a couple of things. For example, your photography, much more that can be mentioned there. Your addiction to Lush and smelly stuff, that's gotta be very you. Your dedication to work and to do those things that teachers are hardly ever thanked for: the time you spend developing, organising and providing an environment that helps you actually do the teaching that you are required to do. Did you mention you're stubborn? :)

I guess I don't really know you as such, so I apologise if this is a lot of nonsense. (I'm good at that... the nonsense).
But yeh, you're pretty alright... for a girl.

Yeah I get the too content living on my own thing….although at least that makes you independent, which Is always a good thing.

Oh honey!! As I read this I just kept thinking “I do that. Oh! I do that too! I think that!” Kinda creepy! I think its a wonderful summary of yourself and its definately a good exercise!! I may try and do this soon. . .

I'd give you a hug and take you out for coffee if I could!
