Creativity, Leadership, and a Pickle

I am a creative person.

I am a mild extrovert.

It's a weird combination.

   With this mixture I love creating cool things in a group, and by myself. I'm...I'm...odd. Yep. Like, when someone asks you, are you a pessimist or optimist, I'm kind of like...um? Because I'm more of a balancist, when you're pessimist, I'm positive. When you're overly optimistic, I am a bit more negative. See? 
   When I am in a group, I look to see, is anyone going to lead? If no one does, and if everybody is looking around I just kind of take charge. If I know the people, I suggest that the artsy kid does the poster, musical kid does the music-related jazz, and the smart quiet kid orchestrates the writing. I'm often left without a job, and then am further nominated to be person checker/cheerleader. And I'm an annoying checker and a pretty good chearleader, if I do say so myself.

    It makes you ask, what makes a good leader? What makes everyone look over at you, and say 'Congrats Leader'...? I think it takes humility, courage, compassion, an open eye and heart. I'm working on that.
Classic leader. Dave and the Giant Pickle, true story, true story.

 I know you guys like it when I talk about serious stuff. I'll make up for it later today.
Over and out.
Love,
Cailin
