Pros: I'm known as the reliable/trustworthy one who can reason his way out of almost any situation.
In person, I don't talk unnecessarily. (the only exception is if the evening is boring and we need some entertainment)
I'm no cheap jerk, so I don't mind splurging for the boos.
I do not mind pulling a 'wingman' for a friend.
When it's necessary, I'm a great listener.
Occasionally, I get into a mood where I want to try new things, experiences, etc. . . . It's the basis for some really funny stories.
Cons: Once in a blue moon, I'm very cynical or sarcastic; my oldest friends usually ignore this since they're very few and far inbetween, and it's usually the result of some other problem or incident.
I'll say something directly to their face whether they like it or not; at times this isn't really so good, because I tend to lose my T.(try) to A.(avoid) C.(causing) T.(trouble) when I'm doing this. I have a few things that I wish I could've taken back.

I usually apologize later, but that doesn't take back the memory, so it's kind of a lose/lose, but oh well.
I'm a very independent person(sort of a lone wolf who could really fit in anywhere); if I go somewhere w/ my buddies, I have to always catch myself and remember to stay w/ the group. (Sometimes, I'd rather just go to a place by myself.)
I guess I'm the X-factor; most of my black and hispanic friends call me an 'Oreo.'
