A is for _______________
ACTIVE – I have to admit, I have trouble sitting still for long periods of time. Perhaps that why I can get so much done each day. Even when we sit down to watch a movie I’m usually baking or doing something else as well, flitting in and out of the room. This is one of the reasons I love working from home, I can work for a few hours then get out and do something, then work for a few more hours.
ANIMAL LOVER – ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals and have had pets of all shapes and sizes. At the top of the list are cats and guinea pigs.
ABRASIVE – my personality can probably get a bit abrasive at times. I’m very opinionated and I usually spend a lot of time researching my viewpoints. As a result I’m very confident and rooted in what I believe, which sometimes can come across abrasively.
AVERAGE – I’m of average height, average weight, brown hair, hazel eyes. My personality and my viewpoints however are not average, they definitely make me different!
ALOOF – Because I’m an introvert I like to sit back and take in what’s going on. As a result I can come across as being a bit aloof in social situations.
ANIMATED – I can be quite animated when talking and explaining myself. Perhaps this comes from growing up in Colombia.
ACID LOVER – I’m not much of one for sweets, but I love pickles and other acidic things. I can eat balsamic vinegar by the spoonful and would much rather have it drizzled over strawberries than sugar.
AVID – I don’t do many things halfway, when I acquire a new hobby I become very enthusiastic and dedicated about it.
ADAPTABLE – I think my background made me very adaptable. I can easily talk about a wide variety of topics and I’m very adaptable to many different situations.

Well, I might call myself Amusing. But others might go with Arrogant. Atypical? Adventurous (only sort of)? Anti-liver? So many options.

I’ve got my list but haven’t had time to post yet (I’m at work). Some similarities: Active, Adaptable, Ambitous, Assertive.
I’ll try to get my act together and post earlier in the day… Organized may not be on my list when we get to O!

Appreciative – that’s a good one – I’m very appreciative of many things that I’ve been blessed with!

For me I would agree with the aloof and the reason for, that you listed…on the same note, most would say I am Amusing.
Fun time. Good post.

Amusing is a good one – I’m very talented at amusing myself!
to Susy's comment
Average, that was one of my words too, though I think my way at looking at the world is more average then not, at least I hope they are. I don’t think it is a bad thing. ^^
to Jaspenelle's comment
that’s an impressive list of A’s Susy.
Well I’ve posted my one A… an obvious start as ‘allotment holder’.
It’s been fun reminiscing about where it all began and the beauty of blogging is that I have a record now of how the garden has chnaged year after year. I’ve been smiling and patting myself on the back for achieving so much!. Oh look – another A!
