Few paragraphs in literature come close to what you would write if ever got a chance to describe yourself. This is one of my favourite.
"Idling always has been my strong point.
I take no credit to myself in that matter - it is a gift. Few posses it.
There are plenty of lazy people around and plenty of slow coaches, but a genuine idler is a rarity. He is not a man who slouches about with his hands in his pockets. On the contrary, his most startling characteristic is that he is always intensely busy.
It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one.
Idleness like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen."
-quoted from "The idle thoughts of an idle fellow"
