What Kind Of Person I Am ( Creative Writing )

I'm the kind of person who will calculates a few moves in advance, even over some of the simplest decisions. I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind waiting a long time, and I mean a real long time, in a line for something that is worth it and for that I have learned that patience is, more often than not, undervalued in this day in age. I'm the kind of person who wears sunglasses to the supermarket. I'm the kind of person who doesn't wear a jacket in the rain or carry an umbrella; it's water people. I'm the kind of person who can know every face and recall what it looked like at any age. I'm the kind of person who you don't want to go against in Jeopardy. I'm the kind of person who can hold a real silver coin in my hand and be amused thinking about where it has been and who has touched it over its many years, flipping it up to myself as I ponder. I'm the kind of person who will help out a random stranger load something heavy into their car as I am walking by. I'm the kind of person who says 'Bless you to anyone and everyone, even if they are one hundred feet away in a crowded hall. I'm the kind of person who will ask a dog owner if their animal has been out in the woods before I reach down for a pet (the mere thought of the dog potentially carrying poison ivy oils is enough to deter me from touching even the nicest looking animal). I'm the kind of person who, when I damn well please, will not even leave the house some days (mostly only on Sundays, though). I'm the kind of person who plays finger guitar on the steering wheel with my opposite hand even though I feel I may be getting carpel tunnel from doing so. I'm the kind of person who you can't simply look at and know what is going on (in my brain that is) . I'm the kind of person who, when asked of something that happened in the past, will give you every known detail or; when refreshed by you on the matter hazy to me, will again give you every known detail. I'm the kind of person who says the wrong thing and always laughs at the wrong time, not on purpose, though. I'm the kind of person who's eyes seem to be locked into a type of trance that give off the type of expression a mime would consider cheerful. I'm the kind of person who, despite long odds unknown to him at the time, played and dominated high school and college baseball. I'm the kind of person who has never dated despite having played baseball in high school and in college. I'm the kind of person who lets the party flow around him instead of jumping into it.

I'm the kind of person who used to listen to the cowardly lion inside his head. I'm the kind of person who had a father who never thought I would be able to drive a car. I'm the kind of person who would stay in alone every night and watch other people have fun. I'm the kind of person who finally decided that my passion, gold-smithing, will be my career (and trust me the parents are happy about this). I'm the kind of person who is only beginning to believe in himself and now has enough courage to do so. I'm the kind of person who realized what he is meant to do. I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind sharing what he has learned (still working on my book).

I'm also the kind of person who has let life pass by him up to this point and realized I had to do something about it.
