    I give up sometimes when I can't answer a difficult question. But let's see... when wrestling with my friends I never give up. Long live WWE! *dies from laughing*

    I'm a determined person but I'm also impatient at times. So I really hate to give up on something and try not to give up, but when my patience is starting to wear really thin, I let whatever I'm doing go and some point later when I have my patience back, I'll go try again.

    It depends. Let's say I'm working on a script that I just can't get right. I'll work on it all day because I'm having a bit of fun doing it, even though I can't get the code right.

    For most of the things that really matter, though (i.e. homework, school projects) I give up easily sometimes.

    If it is something like work at school in maths (or another subject that bores me) and I can't do something, I'll just give up and be like "I'm not doing it."

    However if its an argument or something I'm having with somebody, I never give up. Or something I'm interested in.

    Trying is the first step towards failure. But then again, it is better to look the fool than keep your silence.

    I pursue the things I can achieve and back away from the things I can't, at least until I know I can do them. That way I come out looking like some sort person who can do anything and everyone will admire me and build statues honoring me.

    Well, I am logical when it comes to 'giving up' or not...

    If I see that there is a small possibility of hope, then I will be determined and persistant, and continue until all is lost... and then some.

    But, on the other hand, if I see that something is not possible, then I will not waste effort in attempting to try.

    I am often lazy, yet if I am forced into a situation, then I will give it my best until I have succeeded, yet it's the problem of starting... ^_^

    Musically, I am quite determined, as I hate to be merely 'average', so I always have to be a few months ahead of the appropriate level ^_^

    An example of this, is when I was younger, I was determined to be the top member of the band, and so in two years, I started an instrument, and I went from grade 0-6 in 2 years, and I ended up winning a scholarship. A week later I quit the instrument, losing the scholarship xD.

    But otherwise, I'm extremely lazy in starting anything ^_^

    We need to get Del and The Captain working on the frontsite. :rolleyes2

    Whether or not I finish something completely depends on my current mood. Sometimes I'll work for hours to get something done, other times I have to force myself to finish things.

    I beat Ghosts N Goblins and Super Ghouls N Ghosts. So to answer your question...

    Hell no!

    To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.
    THIS is the ultimate team.

    If it was a passing whim? Probably will quit when I get bored.

    I'm sure you can appreciate the distinction.
    Daryl knows the score. *dances*

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    No, especially when it comes to people. I love a good argument.
    Its fun twisting words they say to make my point sound more valid.
    Logic, is on my side.

    I usually fall asleep and wait for it to be over. Well, fall asleep or close my eyes. I'm a very passive person ^____^

    I'm as stubborn as they come, so no, I don't give up easily. I love to argue and defend my opinions, I hate quitting anything (even when I should give up), and I usually get what I want out of sheer determination. To become a dancer I auditioned so many times after being told to forget it. I took every class I could get my hands on and worked my butt off, but I finally made it. It's worth it to pursue what you want, always.
