"An I'm-Good-At-Something" Meme

Another great idea from [livejournal.com profile] megyal:

"An I'm-Good-At-Something" Meme


Comment with something you're good at. No, I don't want any depressed shit: "I'm good at being depressed!" "I'm good at not being a watchful mother!" You have enough time to beat down on yourself on your own journal, you're not going to do it here. Even if it is something you think is small [I can make people laugh, I read and comment like a fiend, I make an awesome chicken soup, When I cut the lawn it is a fucking masterpiece], put it.

Comment, share it around, let's have a little self-hug today. Go on, brush your shoulders off.

***

Seriously, how much time do you spend telling yourself life is hard and that you suck? I know I personally do that way too often, so today I'm telling myself life is fun and I rock. I'm a decent writer, a good listener, a good coach, a great wife, and a pretty damn good person overall. You are too - tell me how!

I double dog dare every single one of you who reads this to leave me a comment. :)

That's right - double dog dare. So you have to.

Or else. ;)

I am good at learning languages. I am very good at analysing literary texts, and I even enjoy that a lot. I am rather good at cooking. I am good at lighting a fire. I know that I am good at teaching because I so much enjoy what I do and I usually convey that quite well.

I'm not very good at playing my piano, but I think I was very good at starting lessons at 40. I'm also good at never missing my lessons.

How's that for positive thinking? And that is something else I'm good at!

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent things - especially that last one. Positive thinking is *everything*. :)

In conclusion: I am awesome.

I bake great muffins and cakes and I make awesome pancakes but my waffles are even awesomer, eh more awesome.

Which brings me to the next thing I'm good at: English :) And not just in writing - I can pronounce the th correctly and I don't think I have an accent.

I'm a good listener and I'm very empathetic. I can make people laugh. And it makes me happy when I do.

I can clean, do laundry, iron, cook, bake and bitch - I'll make the right man an awesome wife someday. ;)

I am pretty darn good at my job (or so they keep telling me as they try to lure me back to the last place I worked). I'm a decent, if traditional, writer. I'm a very good listener, and an excellent talker. *eg* And, most important, in the eyes of my kids, I am a great mom.

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Such wonderful skills, and yay for great moms!

I am an excellent drywall taper. It was a fun career while my joints lasted.

I make really good bread. No machines involved, just my hands, baby. And soup. I am famous for my red pepper soup, and cauliflower and cheese chowder, and I make a mean potato soup too.

I am good at getting needles. I do not even flinch.

I am good at writing really really smutty porn. Also, I'm good at academic essays, letters to the government begging to be forgiven interest/extend deadlines/go past time limits etc, fundraising letters (but I hate them), and parodies of songs (filk). And other kinds of writing too.

I am good at getting YOU horny. It's a gift, what can I say...

I'm real good at making spaghetti sauce and New Englad Clam Chowder. I'm real good at drinking the daily allowance of water. I'm real good at emptying a bag of Rolo's in record time. I'm real good at avoiding Wal-Mart. I'm real good with my flower garden. I'm real good at wearing jeans, flannel shirts and going bare foot. I'm very good at taking care of hubby, who is disabled.

Overall, I'm a damn nice person.

I am good at baking sugar cookies in cute shapes with pretty icing. I am good at school - I do a mean standardized test and can write an essay in a flash. I am good at knowing what my loved ones need. I am good at singing to my son and cuddling my dog. I'm good at several naughty things that make my husband very happy. I am good at staying on top of important details.

Hurrah for being good at things.

I'm good at putting on my make-up. Going out I may be seriously displeased with my hair and clothes and whatever, but the make-up? Nu uh. Always happy with it.

I'm good at taking random ingredients and making something delicious.

I'm good at caring for my kids, my family, and my animals.

I'm good at organizing things. Checkbook, household, linens, clothing, you name it!

I am a good cuddler. In fact, I am an amazing cuddeler. My cuddles are the stuff of legend.

I am also very perceptive of other people's emotions. I can almost always see the big picture.

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Someday I'm going to collect on some of that legendary cuddling. ;)

Awesome skills - they'll serve you well, whatever you do in life. *smooch*

I'm a darn good organizer if I do say so myself. Everything has a place and I make sure to put it there. The files on my computer are so organized I can find anything I need in almost no time at all. Even if I need folders within folders within folders, I organize everything to the very last. I even went on an organizational tirade last year. Managed to get all the Christmas and photo boxes completely sorted out. Also was able to save space in the mean time. I was kind of impressed with myself for that.

[identity profile] salixbabylon.livejournal.com 2008-03-07 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay for organizational skills - the world needs mroe of that. :) You're awesome!

I give great hugs. Ask any of my 4 year-olds.

I'm creative and very hands-on.

I'd make an awesome wife because I'd want sex constantly. :P (TMI?)

Also - I'm good at dubbing commercials with new!improved!humor.
