You still have those odd, quirky even loveable (to you) habits which seem to annoy other people. Other people, of course, are sorely afflicted with some dreadful flaws which they could so easily correct, if only they would make just a little bit of effort. Or put another way, I get cross with myself because I forget to do things or do some actions more than I should and no matter how I try to make what seem to be quite monumental changes I never quite seem to get to grips with Death at the concepts. I constantly fail and then I get cross with myself for failing. Lack of willpower is another burden to add to the list.}} {|class-"wikitable" cellpadding="15" =='''7 JANUARY 2020'''=={{Frontpage|author=Leigh Bardugo, Louise Simonson and Kit Seaton|title=Wonder Woman: Warbringer: The Graphic NovelDress Rehearsal|rating=3|genre=Teens|summary=Diana, being unique on her island, is the victim of a lot of taunts, and claims of nepotism.
