Hey people, what it do? I’ve been over-blogging and need to overdose on chill pills but you know how it is. I’m taking cue from the last tag that was tossed around and more or less biting to bring you another Alpha Tag but this time a little bit different. I don’t know if you guys have this problem as well but I sure as hell know I do. When asked to describe myself, I usually have no clue what to say or just babble away like a twat. So, I’m taking advantage of the alphabet to try and get closer to finding out who I/you am/are. Here’s how it works: for every letter of the alphabet, write the word (or words) that you think best describes you and then write a short note explaining your point. Simple, eh? And fun too, right? And just for kicks, throw in one or two runner-up words but no explanation is necessary, unless of course you want to. Writing the first thing that comes to mind might be accurate or the best way to go about it but feel free to think about it before filling in. I know I did on many of them. Anyhoo, after peeping mine, I’m sure you’ll get the picture if you don’t already. So without much further ado (haven’t dropped that one in a minute):

This is who I am… I think

Annoying
I believe I am improving in this regard; however, I sort of take pride in frustrating people; answering questions with questions and the like. I have been told that it is near impossible to have a simple conversation with me but I swear I am trying. Honest! Sowwee…

Runners Up: Asthmatic :), Athletic ;)

Basketball
I’m addicted – watching (Live in person, Live on TV, on PS2), playing (on the court, in my room, imaginary, on PS2), reading (nba.com, mags), writing (statistics, fiction, tributes) etc

Runners Up: Blogger, Baby (like pampering)

Caring
I am sometimes caring to a fault putting others before me on most occasions, often to the detriment of my health. I find it hard to say no.

Runners Up: Creative, Cheeky/Cheesy

Dry
I crack the driest jokes you’ll ever hear and take pride in it too. I swear I am the creator of the joke: Are you shy (Shai)? No, I’m Boyz II Men. Honest.

Runner Up: Dependable, Destructive (not as bad as I used to be and it is unintentional, a la Frank Spencer)

Energetic
Always on the move, can’t stand still nor stay in one place. Always jumping about and never really tire out.

Runners Up: Eccentric, Easy-going

Fast-thinking
I have a bit of a sharp mouth so I’m always on my toes looking to come quick with a smart alec response to certain situations.

Runners Up: Family-oriented, Funny

Gossip
Sad to admit but I’m often interested in what’s going on and do like people to get information from me. I don’t believe I am malicious and most of what I say is stuff I’ll say in front of the person but that still doesn’t excuse the bad habit.

Runners Up: Game-freak, Glutton

Happy
It’s hard to find me not smiling. As long as there’s breath in these lungs, I’ma stay happy and I always try to spread it.

Runners Up: Hip Hop, Honest

Incoherent
Many people say they have no clue what I’m talking about half the time.

Runners Up: Immature, Interesting (no I am not Insane)

Jovial
I’m just a happy kid, what can I say?

Runners up: Juvenile (behavior not the rapper), Jay-Z (No, I am not gay)

King’s College
The best 6 years of my life (10 if you count my brother’s 3 years there without me and the year after I left)

Runners Up: Kit Kat, Karaoke (in the car & shower)

Laid-back
Don’t like stress, I just love to chill.

Runners Up: Lazy, Loud

Manic-Depressive
I think I am much better now but my mood swings could be ridiculous.

Runners Up: Music, Modest

Nice
Aren’t I?

Runners Up: Nuisance, Non-conformist

Opposite
I always seem to be going in a different direction from everyone else.

Runners Up: Opinionated, Odd

Paranoid/Pessimistic
Always afraid the worst is going to happen.

Runners Up: Pleasant, Perverse

Quixotic
Challenge practicality all the time.

Runners Up: Quizzical, Queen’s College

Romantic (hopeless)
Write poetry, call a million times a day, text more, give pet names, open doors blah blah blah!

Runners Up: Rambunctious (could be), Rap

Silly
Chichi act a fool!

Runners Up: Shy, Snobby (I could be)

Talkative
I usually talk a lot but sometimes talk too much. The difference? Talking a lot is always talking regardless about nothing in particular, while talking too much is saying what you have no business saying i.e. gossiping.

Runners Up: Tactless (sometimes), Troublesome

Untidy
You should see my room…

Runners Up: Unusual, Uniform (makes dressing up easier, like Dexter)

Versatile
I can do a few things.

Runners Up: Vibrant, Video (anything to do with it)

Wasteful
Working on that. Get a lot of stuff I don’t really need.

Runners Up: Workaholic (when I like what I’m doing) Watcher (TV, Movies, People, Atmosphere etc)

Xerox
Mimicry is one of my strong suits.

Runners Up: Xenophile (but unfortunately, sometimes exhibit Xenophobic slave mentality), X-Rated

Young
Never want to grow old.

Runners Up: Yesterday (often my favorite day of the week), Yankee

Zany
The kid is a bit of a looney!

Runners Up: Zigzag (I go every-which-way but straight), Zodiacal (never forget birthdays – cheap but hey)
