What's your favorite thing about yourself?

Holy crap! Who comes up with these questions? And riddle me this even more, Batman, how does a self-depreciating soul like myself answer that?

Let's see, looks-out. I.Q.-out. Personality -out. Hobbies -out. I suppose if I were to ask anyone what they liked best about me...after several minutes of uncomfortable silence, they might come up with "your sense of humour?" And while that might be okay for them, that doesn't really help me out, since I happen to really hate my sense of humour.

Seriously, I tend to use humour as a crutch to help me out in interpersonal relationships, rather than being the serious, thought-provoking individual I should be. And over the past few years, my attempts at humour have at times hindered rather than helped my forward a friendship or even work-place relationship.

And if I was a decent-looking, semi-intelligent guy, a meager and understated sense of humour might be okay, but you stick an ugly, moronic dork with an overblown, innappropriate sense of humour and you have the ingredients for a...well, an ugly, moronic dork with an overblown, innappropriate sense of humour.

Let me put it this way, if I was stuck in a confined space with an exact duplicate of myself and that exact duplicate decided the best way to pass the time was to make jokes about the situation and there was a blunt object anywhere within arm's reach...well, let's just say one of us wouldn't be getting out of their alive.

Oh, and to make matters worse, I have an ego the size of all outdoors. Really, it's true, I'm very vain. I think way too highly about myself.

What?

What words, for the life of you, can you never spell correctly?

Well...I'm not so sure if this is so much a case of mispelling but I can never remember the difference between its and it's. At one point I had the difference explained on a post-it note on my bulletin board but I've since lost said post-it.
