What are you competitive about?

....I can't think of anything... I'm usually aggressive when it comes to myself but when it's like "to be better than others", I'm too apathetic to give a fuck, if that makes any sense....

I'm usually competitive at red lights too. I want to be the first one to take off, so if I'm not, I get all "I NEED TO GO FASTER THAN THEM!". I also sometimes get competitive with grades, not all the time, just sometimes. And it's usually only with people who have a similar grade as I do in a class, and so I desperately feel the need to get a better grade.

I get competitive at work. When I get entrusted with things (like being in charge on Saturday nights) ahead of people who are senior to me, it makes me all proud and cocky. Likewise, I look at the people who are junior to me and make sure that in all aspects, I'm at least two steps ahead of them.

My boyfriend.

Yes, my boyfriend.

End of story, and boy do I feel stupid.

My, my, I'm actually a pretty competetive person I think. I can be competetive about grades, but only internally. I don't volunteer info about what grade I get unless someone asks. And I'm of course competetive about theater and auditions and stuff... but the very fact that one would audition for something suggests competetion, and since I do it fairly often (and get rejected fairly often) I'm pretty good at both competing and dealing with losing.

I also have a new project working that I will be very very competetive about next year. :) Doo-wah, indeed.

Guys - uh-uh. I think I was competetive over a guy once, but it was way the hell back in the day before I knew better. There are better things to spend my time on.

I'm really competative about being more intelligent than everyone else. Thankfully, most of the world is comprised of doddling idiots, so it's not very difficult. Heh. But also about winning debates (unless I really am wrong, in which case I will concede as soon as I realise it, but that doesn't happen often :P) and I am *extremely* competative about doing things that others (or at least most others) can't. From opening a jar to getting a PhD by the time I'm 21.

More than anything I'm a pompous elitist bastard. :P

Jen: Your boyfriend? Why?

I only get competitive with grades if it's a class I really, really like, which was CP US History II, my senior year. I wasn't outwardly competitive about it, but I had to have the highest grade in the class. I had to get the highest grade on every single test. I had to get the highest grade on every single quiz. Which I did. Nyah nyah nyah...

I have incredible road rage. I scream, yell, and get defensive toward other drivers. I name them by the type of car they own or their license plate (i.e. "Get the f*** out of my way, Mrs. Nissan" or today it was "Hurry the hell up, Mr. Nebraska.) There's this stoplight going out of Fort Dodge where you can supposedly go straight from both lanes, but I absolutely HATE it when people go straight out of the left lane, so I speed up and cut them off. Yes, I have road rage.
