WHen I was much younger I had the typical conservative Christian hatred of homosexuals. One day during a speel a friend of mine revealed he was gay (imagine my face). One of my greatest regrets in my life is that I never grew the balls to apologize to him till it was too late.

I'm normally a calm and collected dude. But I get terrible road rage, so I guess that counts as a fail?

I fail to understand the obsession with Minecraft.
I'm pretty lazy at home.
My mind wanders quite a lot. If someone in authority is telling me something, I tend to hear this "Blah Blah Blah, blah blah blah blah, Morphine, blah blah humm humm, OK?"
I am truly terrible with money. If it's in my bank, it's spent.

Obtaining gratification in spite of success.

Procrastination.

Apart from that i'm perfect...

I had a professor in college that argued that procrastination isn't a failure, it's just how some people work. We (procrastinators) work better under pressure, and so we create pointless and unnecessary pressure to get the work done.

Completely accurate. My brain works this way.

As I get older I find that my ability to suffer fools has diminished greatly.

Then you should leave Dakka OT.

My other big failing is that I can NOT leave Dakka OT.

Girls.

Also procrastination. It would be alright if it didn't make my sleep schedule terrible.

My main failings are addictions: Pot, alcohol, party drugs, smoking , thankfully I am recovered on most of them atm but weirdly I am not attracted to gambling in the slightest, I tried it for a few months and then thought, how fething boring.

and my new vice unfortunately is finishing peoples sentences, I hate it and am trying to train myself out of it.

I have a temper. Sometimes I get into a mode where I'm picking a fight, and I can see I'm picking a fight and being a dick for no real rational reason, and I go on anyway. Sometimes I can stop myself but oftentimes it just kind of has a mind of it's own, which is a fancy way of saying I sometimes lack self control.


I also tend to assume the worst about people and sometimes leap to conclusions that were unwarranted. This has led to embarrassment more than once.

I can't play football to save my life.

I think if you can walk, you should be able to successfully put a foot on a ball and play

I was never very good at American Football... turns out, after almost a decade after my last school football game, that Rugby may be my "better" sport.

That'd be because Rugby IS a better sport and Rugby League is an even better sport.

Not painting it all before I buy more stuff. I really need to focus on my collection and... OOH! Ferrus Manus!

If I listed them all then we'd be here for days.

Silly Kiwi.... Union is obviously the much better sport




Yes, I know you are actually an Aussie, just having a bit of fun though mate, you really don't need to send an assault platypus my way to correct my error

Walking in a straight line.

Confusing a person for a parking space.

Rugby IS union.
If he was talking about the other 'special' kind of football they play here, he'd call it "league". Both pale into insignificance next to the glory that is Hurley, though.


No, NOT 'hurling'. Hurley was like hockey, except no "sticks" rule and more overhead shots.

I'm dirty. My definition of clean is nothing spilled on the floor and a healthy coat of laundry over everything. This might be a violent reaction to having to field day every monday night.

I have no hobbies or mentionable interests, just things I pick up and drop. I played for almost three years, and I can't even remember what units in my codex were called.

I really don't like people at all, but I'm very, very good at talking to people and being agreeable. My billet requires me to talk to people in a very engaging way, regardless of rank, and I enjoy it, but it stops when I go home for the day. I don't know, perhaps this is normal. I think it's a failure, because it feels almost like I'm lying to people.

I'm not a procrastinator, but I outright ignore things I don't want to do. It's not a matter of when I'm going to do something, it's if I'm going to do it at all.

I cannot climb skyscrapers while holding attractive women to my chest, nor can I beat helicopters out of the air. I feel like a failure.

I have no failures. I am awesomeness incarnate.

Have you ever slept with a girl and her mother at the same time? If not, you have failed at sleeping with a girl and her mother at the same time.

Motivating myself to do something I don't enjoy or find interesting.

I have only seen one game, or match or whatever youd call it of Hurley... And all I can say is that I would need to be off of some serious anti-psychotic medications to play that one

Procrastination... Laziness... Anger at people who don't leave me alone when I'm frustrated... Bad at losing (mostly) all the stuff that makes me a TFG in wargaming
