Back In The USSR

The lovely Paris Tarts tagged me in her "Project Self", which you can read more about here but, in short, requires the tagged blogger to state 8 things they like about themselves, 3 things that they dislike and 5 things that they previously disliked but have learned to love. The tagged blogger must also state something they love about both the person tagging them as well as the individual they decide to tag, and furthermore post a picture that displays at least one of the things they love or dislike about themselves. This is in response to some of the hate and general negativity that's been rearing its ugly head in the fashion blogger community recently, and I think that it's an absolutely beautiful project that the wonderful Mademoiselle Tart has come up with!

I LOVE that Paris Tarts has wicked hot red hair, inspiring style and a really engaging way of writing.

Without further adieu, my list is as follows:
8 Things I Love About Myself
I have great taste in music (and yes, I know this is arbitrary.)
I have some extraordinary people in my life who I love and they love me too.
I have a quick wit and am quite sharp.
No matter how much I mess with it, my hair doesn't damage easily (thanks to my father's genes!)
I naturally have bright blue eyes (thanks to my mums' genes!)
I'm able to laugh at myself and have a good time no matter where I am (note today's photos)
If I care about something I care about it a lot...I am entirely devoted to my interests and don't love anything halfway.
I don't break easily.
3 Things I Dislike
That I have a propensity to self destruct for no reason other than to entertain myself.
That on certain days I absolutely cannot deal with criticism.
That I spend too much money on things which I really don't need.
5 Things I Disliked But Have Learned To Embrace
I have a boyish voice.
I'm ambitious. I've noticed that many people will try to make you feel guilty for this and sometimes even succeed in doing so, but it's nothing to be ashamed of and in fact contributes to constantly learning and improving as a human being.
I will never be one of those people who has a big group of a million and one friends, but I've come to understand that this is because the friends I do have are for real.
I'm super opinionated and don't change easily. Like being ambitious, I really don't feel like there is anything wrong with this!
I have hips and...well, so what.
Deciding who to pass the "Project Self" torch to was more difficult than I can express because I truly do love you ALL...but I have come to the conclusion that I would really like to hear what the amazing Ashleigh of Rantings of a Fashion Addict has to say, because she's a fellow Canadian and one of the nicest and most sincere individuals I've had the pleasure of encountering through this whole fashion blogging endeavour - not to mention the fact that she's rockingly clever and gorgeous!

On a seperate note entirely, the weekend is of course almost here, which means I won't be plugged into any kind of electronic device (except maybe an iPod) until Monday morning. As previously stated, I really do love each and every one of you, and I really sincerely hope you have the most amazing last-weekend-of-August of your lives!
