I am a Perfectionist and my Dad's a Realist.. I'm also a Creationist and he's an Evolutionist, but that's diferent.
It's like with creating art, I always imagine it so perfectly, that I cannot even hope to attain the level of success I dream of.
I used to be able to deal with things not being they way I wanted them to come out, but now I can't stand it when mistakes are made.
