"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends."
~ Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
so i had to take this personality test thingy... and it was creepishly accurate...
"People like you are rare. You are a unique and creative person who tends to march to the beat of your own drummer. Private, quiet, and socially cautious, only friends who know you very well may ever see your more playful and expressive side. In fact, it takes awhile for you to feel comfortable with new people so you may often be described as somewhat reserved. But inside, you are a person of great feeling and care deeply for the people and causes that are dear to your heart. Your personal values are most important to you so you always try to make choices that you feel good about. You are rarely willing to compromise on anything that is really important to you. You can sometimes become overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions, and your relationships need to be free of conflict or tension for you to remain in them.
You are also a highly imaginative person and may enjoy expressing yourself through the arts. But since you are also somewhat of a perfectionist, you may have trouble hearing constructive criticism without taking it personally. You are quick to understand the deeper meaning of things, and often have a fresh or original take on events and people. Since you prefer by nature to act spontaneously, you resist too many rules or too much structure. And you may also have trouble staying organized or making decisions. At heart, you are a non-conformist and must find the path that is really right for you, even if it means striking out alone."

SWIMMING::-its the feeling you get at the end of a hard practice when you pushed yourself to the limits-and its the way the water feels when you get back in after a few months off--its knowing that you are wanted on the team van-and that you don't have to shave and that no one else is going to be dressed up-and that you can be as loud as you want and that only you are the one who knows what you are really cheering-and its seeing everyone else cheer you on during an especially good race-its borrowing caps and sharing lotion and a collection of tshirts and ribbons-its not really being able to put into words how the meet went-its knowing that you got up and did something today and that even on an off day you were still better than 98% of the world will ever be-its part of your identity and its knowing that you'll always have something to do on a friday night-its something you love and something you hate and something you really cant explain and dont even want to understand-its the way you walk and the way you talk and a bond that no one else really understands-but thats ok-becuz every time you get up on the blocks it isnt even you really, its all the friends and coaches over the years, all the practices and silly games,all the memories, all the road trips--becuz swimming is really a team sport and its more than a sport--ITS A WAY OF LIFE-
