Things I have learned about myself recently:

1. I am incredibly, incredibly impulsive.

2. I can be extremely rational, pragmatic, and effective when given ten minutes to react. Otherwise, I am still the same emotional ball of goo I was when I decided that my entire happiness revolved around acquiring a pumpkin. Oh wait, that was last fall. Well then.

3. I tend to view "being wrong," whatever that means, as failing.

4. I have the utmost respect for experience as a condition for seniority, but only when coupled with the ability to not be a haughty ass.

5. I judge people based on their usage of "its" and "it's." This is by far the most commendable quality on this list.
