if i could describe you in one word, it'd be...

EDITED: 10/3/2011 

Hold on a minute. Do I really want an answer to this question? Is it truly a good thing if my personality can be summed up in one word?

My friend and I jumped on this topic and toyed with it a bit. We came to the conclusion that if one is able to be dubbed with a single adjective, it means one of three potential options:

A) The dubbed isn't letting people see more than a single side of themselves
B) The dubber probably doesn't know very much about the person they're dubbing
C) The dubbed lack a dynamic personality, which is the saddest (and rarest) option

Neither case looks very good.

I'm crossing my fingers hoping that if someone was asked to think of a buzzword for me, they'd be short-circuiting synapses trying to come up with one. And then they'd fail. I'd want to know that I can offer many dimensions and people recognize it.

What I personally appreciate is a person who can be all things: Funny AND serious, confident AND humble, nice WITH an edge. These are the people who are highly sought after. These are the people who attract attention without even trying. They are complex and one word is simply not enough. If you're trying to come across a person like this, remember that old rhyme about "birds of a feather flocking together" - dynamic people will look for other dynamic people

Don't ever be afraid to show your layers. Be like this:
