Myself?: hopeful.
And, am I the “Liz” in your list?
Of COURSE you are the Liz on my list!
And I am not ornery enough to be characterized by it, am I?
You don’t understand that you are visionary??? You are, you know, you are inspirational and whenever I see you, I go home with a headful of ideas – thus, visionary!
