Perfection Paralysis

when you can't seem to make any progress on your w.i.p. because your standards exceed your current skill level.
artist; i know this one part on this drawing doesn't look right, but nothing i try makes it look better, and i feel like i can't move on to other projects until i do.

friend; sounds like you got a bad case of perfection paralysis, my friend. you should find a different way to do it that's more familiar, or buckle down and do some studies, then come back to it. or, y'know, just accept it's not gonna be perfect and finish it anyway. maybe you can re-do it in a couple years to show how you've improved.

Amanda Perfect

A bad person that people just let walk all over them for some reason. Someone that is convinced that they are more important than everyone else around them. This person is manipulative and narcissistic. To other people an Amanda Perfect like a God. Jesus. Know it all. Teacher's Pet. An Amanda Perfect will say things about you behind your back. You'll find out. Yet, you'll remain friends. You just let Amanda Perfect say and do as she pleases. An Amanda Perfect likes recognition from authority.
If Amanda perfect were here, she would be sitting on her ass while her boss did all the work.

Perfect Little That

a phrase used by Kat Dennings in the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (which was based on a book called Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist but wasn't all that accurate).
Said phrase was used to compare the classic underrated outcast girl to the classic pretty popular bitch and can be used as an alternate name to, really, any perfect and popular girl one comes across.
