Feeling Prolific? What's Your Profile Say About You?

Do you have a social networking page or perhaps a blog? Most websites today have some form of a profile or biography page in which the user is given the task of describing him- or herself in a few brief sentences. Twitter has become one of my favorite social networking sites by forcing users to make a statement (or pose a question) in 140 characters or less. How many things can you describe with a character limit?

For decades television shows have catered to the drama of suspense and mystery. Everything from finding the culprit in a Scooby Doo episode or reliving the stories through enactment on Unsolved Mysteries or Rescue 911, there's a common trend involved-- people like filling the gaps.

I find myself always trying to flesh out entire profiles, even for the most mundane websites. Websites you may only ever visit once. It got so bad that I just took a Notepad file and copy-pasted my profile for each site. Of course, now I need change. Now I feel different and can't believe I wrote what I did about myself. Now I have to go and write some kind of a masterpiece which, hopefully, doesn't turn people off to how wonderful a person I really am. 

"Wow! He's arrogant," or "Man, he's got issues."

"Well, he sounds boring," or "Look--another wanna-be!

Can I just be me? How do I put that into words so everyone can understand?
