Detail-oriented, proactive, organized all seem boring and ass-kissy.
I think ass-kissy as those are (for a sec I thought you were suggesting ASS KISSY!!) they're great. I mean, you ARE a Virgo! C'mon!! Break out the thesaurus.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hrm. Clever, curious, articulate, assertive, analytical, articulate and industrious?

I went with "Intelligent, efficient, curious, articulate, assertive, analytical, and funny."
When put through a thesaurus, this equals (when I went with the first word of the synonyms, unless a repeat) "able, accomplished, analytical, clear, absolute, cogent, and absurd."

Those are awesome words!!
On chatting with a friend, it occured to us another friend who that ad might be. So emailed her and asked "IS THIS YOU!?!?!" first, before replying to the actual ad.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Having another of those moments when I'm super-annoyed with someone and realizing what they're doing that's annoying me is a trait I have, too. So I'm trying to wallow in how much this makes me annoyed with them so that I realize that it's something I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO because I don't want people to find me that annoying as well. If only it only took one lesson like this to change my behavior. It takes more, but at least it's a step.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
mmmm, i had a delightful salad of fresh sliced fennel with oranges last week.
my only negative experience with licorice was accidentally buying a box of the double-salted dutch variety. The cashier gave me a very odd look while i was checking out but said nothing. I got home, opened it, popped one in my mouth, and nearly turned inside out. Then of course i had to trick everyone else in the house to try a piece. Next time i went o that sweet shop the cashier told me she was surprised i didn't return the stuff. Oh no, i had to inflict it on my friends and coworkers.
I think that perhaps lightly salted licorice would be intriguing, but that double-salted stuff made me rinse out my mouth twice with water, drink a glass of water, then brush my teeth and gargle with mouthwash before drinking another glass of water. It should have a big warning sticker on the box.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My ex-husband worked his way through Harvard by crewing on an Alaskan fishing boat. He worked on a small boat where the captain kept himself awake on long watches by eating licorice, which he hated.
