I want all the instrumental values except clean. Those things don't cancel each other out. I am everything there except neat and tidy. I WISH I were neat and tidy though, Does that count?

I am going to star the ones that are most important to me here- because I think these you DO have to prioritize. While you can be all the instrumentals (well I'm not neat- but theoretically I could be), you can't (it seems to me) have all the terminals:
