Who thought writing about yourself could be so difficult?

After all, there's nothing a person knows more about than him- or herself, right? I'm writing an essay about myself, my interests and so on for an organization that I will not name, and I'm having trouble coming up with things to say. This is the most frustrating case of writer's block EVAR, because this should be so easy. When I do find things to say they're all boring and cliche and don't flow well. Perhaps I should bring in what I have of this paper to The Poem Ruiner tomorrow, I'm sure he won't have any problems with pointing out everything I could do better. Hate to say it, but I'd rather be reading Shakespearean sonnets than doing this.
