Don’t we all have secret superhero personas that nobody sees we’re like but us?
One time I foolishly mentioned my aspiration to be edgy and mysterious. Molly laughed.
What adjectives do you only wish described you?

Wow- your boy is getting big!
So Abraham, I assume that bottle is shaken, not stirred. Right?
My husband dies laughing whenever I try to sing rock songs. He says everything sounds like a hymn when I sing it. I’m not sure what the adjective would be, but alternative rock is obviously not my genre.
Strong and silent. The first is occasionally true; the second rarely.
Friendly. Nice.
Tall and thin.
Non-negligible
I aspire to be a childish cucumber with a long-suffering butler
I went through that phase once. In fact, I still have parts of me that wish to be dark and mysterious, edgy, and dangerous.
The problem comes when I open my mouth. With anybody, about anything. I can walk into a room, disguised (emotionally) like my favorite chic character, but when someone says, “Hello,” I’m done. It’s the kryptonite to my super hero complex.
Totally Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow in Alias! That girl can kick some serious butt and she doesn’t even mess up her hair or makeup or cute outfit. Seems like I just have to do the dishes and I’m a mess!
that is my exact answer too. she rocked it.
But Aber! You are edgy and mysterious! Just not to Molly.
I think if you had the tux and tie on in the photo and simply slicked your hair back like 007, we’d all buy it, even with the baby and the shaken, not stirred bottle.
“cool”
lol
Words I wish applied to me:
Mature in Christ
Unselfish
Emotionally Stable
Perceptive
Physically Fit
Funny, you have the same look on your face I usually have when my 3-week-old daughter wakes up for her 2 AM feeding! LOL

oh man, when we went to see James Bond “Casino Royale”, I thought we would be driving on 2 wheels the whole way home.
The only two movies that I have ever seen Jon morph into character has been that movie and the Jason Bourne movies.
But as for me, possibly opinionated. Within reason, I really just don’t care.
Haha, my hubby likes to be Bourne too…and sometimes the Christian Bale version of Batman.
diligent
unaware of myself
The fellow on the right is much more appreciated than the edgy, mysterious one on the left.
Actually, I think parenting can make life very edgy and mysterious, so perhaps you’re not too far off.
For me–collected and competent, rather than flustered and forgetful…
“Muscular”
“Funny”
Wealthy”
photographer
gracious
No. I’m already smug and self satisfied, thankyou.
hard-working and disciplined.
tranquil
witty and confident
spontaneous and carefree
1st… don’t look so excited *sarcasm*
2nd… dude that’s hilarious.
3rd… you’d think the bundle of Joy in the right arm of your picture would produce a brighter smile then the guy lacking such and living life for himself.
4th… I understand it’s a joke.
5th… no I don’t have kids yet…
6th… I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune when I do.
a few thoughts:
I love the colors in the kitchen behind you. I was trying to figure out where you were, because it looked like you were at some funky cafe. Well done!
You married the right lady. She should be the one who sees the guy beyond the gadgets and swift, tiger-like moves.
two adjectives i only WISH described me?
quiet
tactful
Oh right and the two adjectives…
tactful … whitty
wise and wise
(The wedding ring tells me you’ve reversed the picture)?
engaging and brainy
Aerodynamic.
Gymnastic.
Eloquent.
Married.
Patient
Stay-at-home mom
Published author
Extrovert
Mostly harmless?
My superhero persona would be the P. 31 woman…..with a happy twinkle in my eyes!
compassionate and joyful
“Musical”
“Persevering”
“Gentle”
In my pride: clever, articulate, popular
In my right mind: humble, caring
adventurous
night owl
irreplaceable
hilarious
cool
I have to agree with Kirstjen, I’d love to be like Sydney Bristow from Alias.
But maybe without all the deaths and torture.
(Kirstjen, I knew you were cool… :) )
gentle + quiet (spirit)
I sometimes wonder…. which adjectives do people ascribe to me when I’m not around? As in.. “She is so _______”.
Oh very nice Mr. Piper…Abraham Piper. :)
What adjectives do I wish describe me???
I’ll go with humble and quiet spirited. :)
I can’t stop smiling! That’s great stuff!
May I borrow your adjectives?
Edgy and mysterious…
also abounding in wisdom, goodness and love.
You look kinda like Russell Crowe, actually.
For me? Consistent.
on my bad days — “suave, refined, and sophisticated”
On my good days, I fully embrace my red-neck populist past.
Athletic, outdoorsy, Musical, streetwise, good at reading people.
skinny and pretty
Elegant & Stylish – but not a desire I have for long enough to spend on hair, clothes & makeup.
Ethereal and Flammable
gentle, disciplined, original, and unfailingly dazzling with my concise and vivid prose.
“able to fly” would also be sweet.
Dude,
You got a Hugh Grant thing going there.
Artistic and fit
Merciful
creative and knowledgable
After watching the 1st two episodes of 24 day 7… mmm… which words will I use…
Would ‘Jack’ & ‘Bauer’ count?
“selfless”
“placid”
And, ok, “olympic runner”
artsy, trendy, steady
John Piperesque
“patient” & “concise”
physically coordinated- that’s the wishing til heaven wish, but i would, as Kim said, like to be ‘unaware of self’
You asked for adjectives, but I couldn’t convert “good listener”.
patient, wise and a good artist.
Dark and handsome. Hey, I am tall…
warm, wise, and creative.
well-respected and insightful.
And able to manipulate matter with but a thought and maybe a cool signature hand gesture.
Glamorous AND sporty.
Elegant and graceful…
Wise
thankful, selfless and obedient would be nice
quirky, stylish & nice
I wish I was like Doctor Who…suave, funny, and able to take everything in stride.
Compassionate and daring
