Actually
I tend to think it makes me a psych patient in the making with multiple personality disorder.

Hence my screen name.

Just call me god
I have a rather overactive mind, I also happen to be fairly well educated- obviously.
I read a lot can toss odd bits of pop culture into conversations. I have a strongly pragmatic side to me, I have an artistic streak to me.
I need the solitude of the trees periodically to keep my sanity. I can take cool pictures AND I have the people skills and conversational skills of the best diplomat on the planet.

Nah.
Pretty much all of those can be proven empirically- I have my college degrees, people who have met me can tell you that I toss out quotes from everything from Looney Toons to Kevin Smith movies, I work as an engineer, and I have posted photos here that I've shot- either of cool things or of things that I've made. None of that is boasting, it's just a statement of fact.

Similarly, I work with engineers and spend a lot of time outside the office interacting with fabricators (that is, the guys who make our equipment for us), and can chat with a wide variety of people- ask those who met me at the London bash, for instance. What does a middle aged American engineer really have in common with a British scientist (Rakky) or the other English people from b3ta that I've met? And yet we did sit and talk, in person. I took Clendrix on a tour around Richmond, and have done so with Big-girls-blouse as well.

I do lay claim to the ability to get along with almost anyone, but I hardly think that makes me a god or a diplomat. *shrug*

Not quite sure what you're on about
but whatever, dude.

There's a hole in the world, it's a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
It's filled with people who are filled with shit
and it goes by the name of...

I'm not trying to be nasty
It is funny when people list all the things they're good at, adding a bit of self-depreciating humor, suggesting that they're a little bit 'mad' or 'kooky'. I'm not denying that you're an engineer or anything else. Just that I found your post funny.

Ah.
No prob.

If it'll help I can list all the things I suck at. For instance, dancing is not a good thing for me to even attempt. Imagine if Janet Reno and Al Gore had had a child...

The last time I tried dancing in public people knocked me to the floor and started forcing phenobarbitol down my throat, then prying my jaws open to keep me from biting my tongue off as they dialed 911. By the time the paramedics got there and I explained to them that I am in fact not epileptic, it's hard to say who was more embarrassed.

I sense a QOTW here (if it's not been done already): What do you suck at?

I think you're right.
I could tell endless stories on how much fail has been in my life thus far...

What he's saying is...
He's a jack of all trades but master of none.


But obviously your too blind with jealousy to notice that.



Edit - Popiellajones - you need to be more careful how you phrase things. I've learned that little lesson myself.

Btw - his singing's not great either.
