A useless list of 49 things

In an attempt to prove my selfworth (the irony being that in this creation my anaylisis is not only self deprecating but proves nothing unless anyone reads and confirms this and as all of my friends have given up, there is little reason to believe anyone will read this. So let's just pretend somebody cares enought to read what I have to say and continue.) I have made the following list of personality quirks, peculiar physical and mental traits and general oddities making me "unique." A fruitless endeavor I know but it's been on my mind for several days and who knows what will happen if it's left there to rot? Perhaps I would have concluded my hatred for soemone or found myself even more useless, but as it is I present to you the nonexistant reader:

  47. I hate myself for never being enough of these things: smart, pretty, skinny, girly, sporty, mainstream, confident, religious, perceptive, a singer, open, witty, poltical, understanding,
  48. I love myself for being: perky, an idealist, never quitting, sticking up for people, playing with the boys, giving people hope, knowing just what to say, Irish, catholic, finding just the right gift for people, never letting people get a big head, creative, impulsive
  49. My one female indulgence is cute shoes, which sit in my closet next to my hiking boots and cleats
