Ok, I'll bite
This is a cheap way to fill space when I can come up with nothing on my own. Because I'm working on being a "glass-half-full" person, I look at it as "using my resourcefulness to come up with an alternative solution."

So, a dreaded list. Copy this whole list into your journal.
  • Bold the things that you have in common with me.
  • Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you.
