How do you view yourself?

Metacognition - Thinking about your thinking.


"What type of personality do you have?"


"Um....Let me get back to you on that..."


 Looking at yourself from a subjective viewpoint is an interesting thing to do, it makes you really see who you are. Summarise these things into a few phrases that describe you. Then, next time someone asks you to define your personality, you will have a clearer idea and a quicker reply. Different people will have different views of others through their own subjective viewpoint, but one's own belief of who they are is most likely to be the most accurate description, depending on their view of themselves. For instance, if somebody is pessimistic, they are more likely going to see themmselves as a failure or see themselves in a bad way; whereas an optimist is more likely to see themself as a good person who tries their best too make the world a better place. Please note that the only source of this article is my own thoughts, so it is in no way credible and  this may not make any sense whatsoever to anyone else, and may be very untrue to some people. But in my mind, it certainly is interesting.

For example, I see myself as a marginally insecure, sometimes lonely, overquestioning perfectionist.
I try and be optimistic, and I am most of the time, but my tendency to overthink things and look too deeply into things can sometimes make me see things, such as myself, or others, or events, in a different way that is not always good. This is how I get myself down, and begin to feel insecure. I try and avoid overthinking most things when it is unneccessary to do so, as it will only make me feel sad or disappointed. Anyway, I just thought this was an interesting topic to share with you this evening. If you are comfortable, I would be most interested to see a summary of how you define yourself, so leave a comment if you like. No pressure though :)

Good evening.

P.S.-Metacognition may not be the right word to use-I haven't yet done my research on this topic. Forgive me for any false imformation that is presented.
This cow is thinking about himself. :D

Cheekbones ♥

Dedicated to Shining Sunlight, this is a post all about cheekbones.

Okay, so I have a thing about men with cheekbones. They are just amazing.

♥ Johnny Depp ♥
♥ Colin Morgan ♥
♥ Matt Smith ♥
♥ Benedict Cumberbatch ♥

Marvel in the pure beauty of their cheekbones.

Johnny Depp (how is he so sexy at age 49??) (this is for Ruby too)



Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock


Colin Morgan as Jethro in Doctor Who


Matt Smith as The Doctor



Gosh these guys are handsome.

Theme Change!

Okay, so my old background was annoying me. I don't know why, maybe it's just been the same too long. So I searched seamless images, and found this pretty blue flowers one :) Which also means that I have to change all the other green things to blue. Oh well, it looks refreshing and new with the  blue. Opinions?

Relief!

Okay, I have been very lazy and not blogged at all since I started my blog. Also because I forget that I have a blog, I am busy with other things, and I just can't think of anything to say. Ha, I told myself upon the beginning of this blog that I would only post interesting things that somebody who doesn't know me will read, and think, "Well, that was interesting. I now know something new." Well, seeing as I haven't managed that, who cares. With my new resolve, I know just what to talk about: The sweet, sweet feeling of relief that has come with the end of this week because it means....
*dramatic pause*
THAT ALL OF MY ASSESSMENT IS DONE!!!!!! No more annoying assignments and things to worry about and things to do and a sense of guilt whilst procrastinating or not doing anything. Sigh.

List of assignments/exams, all due in the past week or two:

English - Epilogue (re-drafting)
Maths - Exam (piles of revision)
SOSE - ed Studio (research)
Science - Presentation (research)
ICT - Cert I Submission (finishing stuff I forgot about at the last minute)
Music - Composition/Arrangement, Performance and Jazz Analysis Essay. (creating, practising and more research -.-)

But now, they are all over! Complete! Done! Finished! And I can relax! And I did today, I slept in until 1. And did NOTHING all day. And that felt great. :)

That's all for now, because I am getting a headache from staring at the computer for hours. Hope you enjoyed my extremely uninteresting post about my boring and more or less average life.

Feel free to add a comment, and I will be most glad to have a discussion with you about the painful thing called school, and have an educated debate about who is better at procrastination >:D Anyways, until next time, Adios Amigos! :D :D :D :D
