The Failure Thread!!

Talent is soooo overrated. I want to show respect for utter failure. nod

So tell Uncle Froggy: Are you a failure? eek what have you completely failed to achieve? What are you crap at?


For my part:
(1) i am totally CRAP at drawing.
(2) And i failed my grade 3 piano when i was 8 woot!
(3)I'm also crap at making pancakes - they always either burn or end up looking like scrambled egg. doh!
(4) When i was 9 i lost the 60m dash at school for the first time since i'd entered it. disbelief

Let's hear it for failure! smile

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.

I shall commence to treat you as a failure, Frog!

Remembering people's names and faces.

Any sport-like activity. Even picking a ball (They always ended up smashing my face)
Hey! Maybe that's why I don't remember names and faces hmmm

I can't make pancakes either; don't feel bad! I'm a damn good cook but for some reason pancakes, no no... shake

I'm also pretty bad at sewing, singing (but only lately, maybe I'm sick...), doing anything that requires coordination or flexibility much to my dismay, and some things that I can't mention... wink

But ya know what I'm worst at? Ironically in my many part-time cashier crap jobs, I've been the best at dealing with the customers. And I'm awesome at public speaking. But when I'm not behind a counter, or typing online or giving a speech to people who have to listen to me, I'm so bad at social situations it's not even funny. I can't look anyone in the eye, I get all unsure of myself and start to panic... I seriously think I have that Social Anxiety thing...

I am, however, really good at getting myself in bad situations. Is that a talent or a curse? hmmm

thank you love-y. I need all of the support I can get, b/c he invited himself over tonight. He said he just wants to sit in the hot-tub, but I don't beleive that. I'm ready to run already.

I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.
