What do you think symbolizes me?

[MadCatTLX]

 I have to write an essay for school about what symbolizes me and I can't write essays for crap and need help finding inspiration to get me started so I'm asking you all. In what little you've seen of me on these boards what do you think symbolizes me? I would really appreciate you guys(and gals) opinions since my mind is a blank on this. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
 
I know this is probably a weird question and I'm sure someone will get mad and say I should think of it myself and quit being lazy (despite me having spent a few days thinking and having not a damn thing come to me and now I'm desperate since it's due tomorrow). To be absolutely clear and avoid any confusion: I am not asking you to write the essay, just what you think symbolizes me.

You seem level-headed and chipper the majority of the time. Could you use a character that best represents you? Or are you more looking for an object/idea? With the former, maybe someone from MLP?

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Shit.  I haven't read enough of your posts to really know your personality.  Anything I have read by you I don't remember well enough to use in ascribing a symbol to you.  I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help you much.  I wish I could.  I sure hope you figure something out soon.

Ugh, I hate those types of essays. -_-

I'm trying to think of something but I'm drawing a blank too.  I do like Sleepy's suggestion though.

I would rather not use an MLP character as my symbol on a high-school essay. It's not that I wouldn't want to but that it would be asking for trouble in my school, getting called gay (I'm not, nor am I homophobic) and such. I'm looking more for an object/idea, if you or anyone else have any idea I would love to hear it. Thanks for trying though. I was considering putting something about no MLP in the OP but decided against it.

Hmm...it's hard to say without knowing you well, but first thing that comes to mind is various (sharp) tools to symbolize your wit and other qualities. Are you introverted? Perhaps use a box, because while you can't discern much just looking at the outside, you can open them up and find all sorts of fascinating, awesome things on the inside. Maybe use a bookshelf to represent your knowledge or the capacity for it.

I hate those types of essays too, in school I always did a half assed job on them.

You should make a list of the things that you like, and why you like them. That's a good way to find out more about yourself.

Couldn't you take a symbol or object or whatever from MLP and spin it in a way that's not related to MLP?

Whenever one of those essays came up in high school, I would pick a random object in my bedroom, cough up a few bullshit metaphors ("The vine, ever growing out into the world, yet always retaining its roots, blah blah blah"), and wind up with a great mark. Most English teachers lap that kind of thing right up. Or mine did, anyway.

The problem is that I've never been able to describe myself, especially in positive way. Usually when someone asks what my good qualitys are I say "I'm intelligent and... um... we'll..." and that's about all I can think of. Even of I can think of something that symbolizes me I still have to write five fucking paragraphs about it, and I've never been able to make up atleast 25 sentences of bullshit. It doesn't help that I take medication that makes me Incredibly tired and I can rarely stay awake through my entire first hour English class, and it's midnight here and I haven't got a single word written. Oh, and did I mention it's due first thing tomorrow?

Bullshit it. That's what I did when I could think of nothing else at the last minute. The teacher doesn't know better.

Same.

But try to make it actually believable...

You are a beautiful flower with special qualities, and though you will start as a tiny seed you will eventually blossom into a beautiful rose.

It physically hurt to write that, man. Good luck.
