<p>Haha maybe it’s just me, but the 25 word limit on the quick takes made me start answering in quasi-proverbs.</p>
<p>Since everyone’s apps are in, I don’t feel bad about posting my answers.</p>
<p>Example, for the “What two qualities”:</p>
<p>“I admire people who are honest enough to tell me about my problems, but compassionate to help me fix them.”</p>
<p>Cheesy much? lol</p>
<p>Yeah, mine were a bit like that! They were honest, though.</p>
<p>haha mine were too! It was just like I was trying to make it witty in a very small space…</p>
<p>The “thing that I was most proud of” was my huge head of curly hair :D</p>
<p>^ LOL! Nice…</p>
<p>^^ Now I’m having visions of carrot-top. :P</p>
<p>My 2 qualities were integrity and a sense of humor. The others weren’t as bad, though.
Hookem- my “most proud of” was my ability to answer jeopardy! questions none of the contestants could…</p>
<p>I chose Humility and Thoughtfulness</p>
<p>Not THAT big hahaha. Haven’t you seen my facebook picture, Butternut? In the SAT LIT group?</p>
<p>It’s sort of like an Andy Samberg length, lmao</p>
<p>and that jeopardy response is awesome! I love when that happens to me haha. I’m like screaming at the TV: “WHO IS F. SCOTT FITZGERALD? WHO IS F. SCOTT FITZGERALD!!! AHHHH!!!”</p>
<p>lol :D</p>
<p>I love Andy Samberg (and his hair)!</p>
<p>lol, people tell me that I look like him ALL THE TIME. It gets obnoxious, especially since he’s sort of a goober :p</p>
<p>Oh, if anyone knows The Mars Volta, my hair looks a lot like their guitarist’s. :)</p>
<p>I liked the short answers because I didn’t feel I needed to take them as seriously as the rest of the app. So I didn’t.</p>
<p>My “most proud of” was a song I wrote about Henry V to the tune of Sleigh Ride. :D</p>
<p>I agree. For the “What do you do to relax?” question, I wrote about belting out and singing along to Broadway musicals in my room. ;)</p>
<p>I wrote about driving in Pearl Harbor at night with the windows down lol.</p>
<p>All my short takes were so cheesy. Only one of them was remotely funny.</p>
<p>For the what two qualities do u most admire q, I said “I admire the “blood, toil, tears, and sweat” (a reference to Winston Churchill) that people produce when faced w/ the most arduous obstacles, and the humility that they show afterwards”
the 1st quality really wasn’t a quality but w/e…that could be y i could deferred lol. ;)</p>
<p>I wrote for what I am proud of : “people remember me not by the intellect I emanate from every orifice of my body, but by my good-natured humor.”</p>
<p>At the moment I thought it was cute. Now I think that it makes me sound like a t00l. Does it? Damn.</p>
<p>I intentionally tried to avoid the isms and be as specific as I could. The only generalities I used were in the what do you admire about others question.</p>
<p>512985, considering you can’t “emanate intellect” (you can emanate intelligence, but intellect is an incorrect word choice), I find that ironically funny, for unintended reasons ;)</p>
<p>Oh damn. Haha I definitely did not notice that. Oh damn. Intellect… isn’t that a noun as well? Intelligence… intellect. Crap.</p>
<p>So… it’s funny…?</p>
<p>Or will Yale just think I’m a noob.</p>
<p>521985: I actually thought it was funny. And after hookem168’s post, I find it even funnier.</p>
<p>Maybe they’ll see it as a multifaceted joke and admit you instantly :D</p>
<p>Idk about mine. A few of them made me go “oh snap that’s witty!” but I can see an adcom going “too cute by half” or just banging his or her head on the wall.</p>
