I should be a sketchbooker

This is what I think I should be:
1. A sketchbooker
2. Thin
3. Always upto something... making something... doing something
4. A druggie or a drunk. Maybe I'll be smarter then?
5. Uncaring, aloof and hence, supercool
6. A smoker, for sure.
7. Someone with good taste- in art, music, clothes, movies...
8. Someone that can make friends in an instant and hold amazing conversation too
9. A great cook
10. A person that reads the newspaper religiously and dies if she doesn't on one day
11. Design flair that just runs through my fingertips
12. Superawesome!

I'm sure there are more on this list.
Is it fair that I've always thought I should be these things and consciously or not, I force myself to do things that'll make me this... person? It never really works. Like the thin bit? Please! Or the sketchbooker? Tried and tested- I'm not interested.
How strange is it that; I'm sure lots of us; have impressions of ourselves- or projected-selves- and we can't live up to it? Of all people, it should be US that's happy for what we are! So I have to go through my day with expectations of what I should be like from all over AND from myself? Senseless...
