And you know, that reminds me of the incident I had where a co-worker once told me 'So-and-so is looking for you' and this particular so-and-so happened to be a very aggravating pain in the ass so the first word out of my mouth when the co-worker told me this was not a very pretty one and her eyes widened and she just *looked* at me and started laughing. And an hour later when I saw her again she was still laughing a little and told me that she just couldn't believe that I swore.
(shrug) Somehow people always have this impression that I'm a sweet innocent wholesome girl-next-door sort...and of course, I try not to destroy that image if I don't have to. It's so much easier to be evil when no one suspects it of me, after all. And I rather enjoy being 'secretly' more than I appear. ^_^
But as far as my own assessment, I would have to partially disagree with the bit about 'extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks'. About half the time, I am all-too-distractable when I set myself to a task. Though it *is* remarkably difficult to distract me from those distractions, once my focus has drifted...ehm. If that even makes any sense. ^_^; I'm easily distracted from what I'm *supposed* to be doing, and it's often next-to-impossible to get me back on track. And yet other times I will be so absorbed in what I'm doing that I barely notice the world going on around me.
There are times, even, when if I didn't have a husband nagging me requesting that I pay attention to him too, I could easily be the one falling asleep in a pile of books. Or paperwork. Or passing out on my keyboard...
