i take pride in being able to do a lot of different things. for
example, i have a tiny bit of talent/skill in writing,
wood-carving, cooking, singing, playing a guitar, drawing, sewing,
etc. i grew up in a household that had to make a lot of the things
we needed, so you kind of picked up these things along the way.
well, dancing, singing loudly in the shower, rockband (i will kick
your ass), i used to do gymnastics in high school, so i'm pretty
good at being bendy, lol~! ummmm, i dunno, i guess i'll think about

passionate and don't come to thoughts on whims, but through lots of
reflecting and studying.
connecting with people from other cultures, service, resident evil
zero, cooking......playing soccer.. although i'm not so good at
this these days and being single with two picky kids doesn't allow

not answering telephones, writing poetry.
you will have to find that out for yourself.

<br />
i'm also good at an animated discussion. i am a great listener but

ways, talking a whole lot, looking in the mirror, not looking in
the mirror, thinking of things i'm really good at, being nice to
children and elders, reading stories out loud in funny voices,
dancing (although "really good" is a bit relative here; do you
think the most hilarious dance you've ever seen is "really good?"),
dressing myself (what's up dudes, pick a decent shirt for once),
being able to make a total mess without even trying, laying in a
grassy meadow and accurately describing the shapes of clouds...

about the universe
everything!!!! nah, kidding, bit of an awkward question<br />
<br />

favorite lounge chair.<br />
<br />
cooking and baking, maybe? okay, that's 100% a total and complete
lie. "really good" is a stretch at best. i have my signature dishes

learning. i just picked it up this summer. yeah, this summer, when
i needed help cracking an egg (laugh all you want). but i love it.
setting out the supplies, putting everything together, getting a

huns. (it's a mulan reference.)<br />
<br />

kind of little notes that brighten your day. if you bake your
feelings i want to bring you brown sugar. if you paint i'll find a
tube of color you don't have yet. if you love only the pink
starbust, i'll buy three packs and pick them out for you. it's what

<br />

good cook, or at least i like what i cook. i'm pretty good at
fixing things.
i'm a fabulous baker and i love to sing pop songs. i am also a very
talented violinist and an extremely good writer.
the interwebs.
remembering weird trivia. planning adventures. making a plan and
sticking to it. intuiting what kind of cake friends want for their
birthday and baking it for them.
filling out on line dating profiles. i find it completely natural
and not at all awkward to sell myself to strangers like a product
in a man-meat catalog. mind you, it's a high quality cut of
man-meat you're dealing with here.
graphics, analyzing trends, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=photography">photography</a>, dance (former

watching the wire, eating apples, throwing frisbees
business and music. i rock my job and am amazing at everything
busisness related. i have a knack for making money and treat it
like a game. it's actually a lot of fun once you get good at it
i've found. i'm also really good at making music, specifically
electronic music like house, techno, bass, etc. i've been writing
tunes for so long and it is such a passion of mine i've become an
expert in electronic production and help folks all over sf become
better producers and djs. one thing im good at is socializing. i
can walk in to a room full of people and know them all in short
order. i love people and i love chatting; few things are better
than hanging out with newfound friends, and i'm a natural talent
when it comes to good times. i'm also really good at video games
but we won't go there right now ;)
making people feel wanted and appreciate in all honesty and
directness.
hmmm.. i feel like this is a bad job interview where you have a
hard time patting yourself on the back. but here is a try.. i am
good at listening, i am good at being there when a friend needs me,
i am good at acting like an idiot when the time calls for it and i
am good at trying always to look on the bright side of things. and
sometimes i am pretty good at being a pain in the @ss.. (kidding of
course).
alot of things that i have passion for just ask me
-curiosity! i like to learn something new about myself and others
every day.<br />
-through practice and good teaching i am a competent
clinician.<br />
-i have a farming background, so fixing or building things makes me
happy. thanks dad!<br />

finding the funny at a funeral.

away. 'fessing up to my lies before i make them, or, at the latest,
within 5 seconds. speaking. eating. bowling (really...anything
lower than 200 is a disappointment; why couldn't a cooler sport
come so natural to me?). understanding motivations. knowing when

aware of it nowadays.<br />
<br />
writing papers. i've had three different professors say they like
my work, so, apparently i don't suck at it as much as i used to. i

stuff fascinates me!
any kind of dance, especially salsa dancing. creative projects like
theater, film, and other arts. traveling the world and studying
languages. some of my favorite countries being australia, malaysia,
costa rica, china, new zealand, bermuda, and many others.<br />

currently into yoga, singing, sudoku, scuba diving, and new ideas
that can transform industries. yes, i'm a little nerdy, but also a
little not.<br />
<br />
i'm career-driven and think i get to do some pretty cool things in
my job.
seeing that this is the official talk myself up section and i am a
modest person i find it hard to complete.<br />
<br />
i am above average at a lot of things.<br />
<br />

listening, validating your feelings, telling you what you need to
hear and not what you want to hear, but obviously in a respectful
way :) i believe in transparency. i'm good at making people laugh,
people say i'm hilarious. i have a very eclectic sense of humor,
sometimes its corny and sometimes its dagger-like, so please, leave
your teddy bears at home with mommy :)
tetris, most video games, making anyone laugh when need be.
i'm great with kids. i love the kids at school. i know<br />
a lot about film and film history. i can cook pretty well. i can
hike for miles.
living my life, having fun, doing good work, being a good son,
brother, uncle, nephew, friend, boyfriend, kissing (at least i
think so, but that is subjective isn't it), taking care of myself,
exercising and meditating, building stuff, conceptualizing,
teaching and returning calls/texts and emails.

being empathetic, listening, singing jazz, acting, research, taking
care of people, lots of things! i wouldn't say that i'm really good
at any of those other than listening/empathy, though. wouldn't you
rather just get to know me and figure out what i'm good at?
listed above but... conspiracy theorizing (see ranting), indulging
(see eating), impersonating regional dialects, making fun of

but certainly not least, croquet. you can take the man out of
wasp-land (aka new england), but you can't take the wasp out of the
man.
i'm good at over analyzation, and jogging.
oh boy... self promotion is not my strong suit(no, i'm not
exceptionally shy or anything, i dislike feeling like i am
bragging) but humility doesn't seem to work here, so here
goes.<br />
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=science">science</a>, i have
always been good at figuring out problems and understanding how
things work. i was that kid that disassembled everything that i
could get my hands on, and usually able to get it back together in
working order.... most of the time. (sorry about that radio ojii...
hey, i was 6).<br />
*i just came back from a large bio-tech conference in san
francisco, i was the only attendee that solved a 3-d spatial
relation/causality <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=puzzle">puzzle</a> out of all that tried. i won the
puzzle as the prize.<br />
<br />
i'm patient and i am good at listening to people and relating to
them.<br />
<br />
learning new things. i'm a jack of all trades, its easy for me to
pick up new skills and learn, and get pretty decent fast.
finding the humor in any situation.<br />
<br />
also, since basic grammar knowledge gets regularly called out, this
is my <em>silly</em> attempt to prove i can do there, their,
they're, to, too and two: there are two types of people in the
world: those who don't know that using "myself" is almost always
wrong and those who know it's a reflexive pronoun. of the two, the
former are too stupid to stomach because their pretentious
ignorance makes them sound incredibly obnoxious. ultimately,
they're going to get their comeuppance. additionally, whether to
use "and me" or "and i" generally falls into this category. the
easy check? just take the "and" out of the sentence and see which
sounds better. i promise, it works.<br />
<br />
also, i'm apparently quite good at marking okc's questions as
irrelevant, as the system just hollered at me for not marking
enough questions as important. i'm not sure what that means, but it
must mean something. probably that a lot of the questions are
repetitive, unimportant and/or (a construction you're never
supposed to use, i'm an intentional non-conformist at times) silly.
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=trivia">trivia</a>- i used to
host a trivia night at an irish pub and i still dork out when i
think of an awesome question or category, despite the fact that i
quit over a year ago. i rock at watching <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=sports">sports</a>, and will play anytime, but
unfortunately i am ridiculously uncoordinated so that rarely turns
out well for anyone involved (although i can hold my own skiing or
playing beach volleyball). i am really good at singing, throwing
parties, quoting monty python, remembering song lyrics, and
crossword puzzles. i am a great friend, a kick ass aunt and animals
and kids love me.
i'm really good at getting people to relax. i work with individuals
who have suffered intense trauma. i have people open up to me about
intimate details of their life at bus stops and coffee shops. i
guess i don't believe in strangers as much as people i haven't yet
met in this life.
catch phrase, dancing, painting / drawing, swimming, wakeboarding,
holding my liquor, being type-a organized, changing things up,
cooking, making homemade sangria, planning trips, making people
laugh, being the beat boss anyone could ask for, defusing
arguments, scrabble with friends, family fued, fixing things,
pushing myself and making a a fool of myself among other things.
how do you actually answer this question. eating ice cream and
riding a bike at the same time. jumping off a big cliff skiing,
thinking, "holy cow that jump must have been 30 feet high" when
really it was only a 5 in cliff! there is so much that makes a
person. making people laugh. i feel that i am really good at
skiing, adventure, travel, loving, honesty, singing, learning,
friendship, cooking, oh man the list goes on. i like anything. but
snow skiing and loving is what i am best at!
building unique houses and foot rubs.
thinking things through logically, i like to know how things work
or how systems operate...but i don't obsess about it.<br />
<br />
i've been told that i'm good a connecting with people, and putting
them at ease. i'm a really good coach and mentor to kids.
not bad at portrait photography. i have a trick to get a natural
shot, which makes people fidgety but works. recently had a photo of
a friend published in a canadian newspaper - my 15 seconds of
fame.<br />
<br />
i'm becoming competent at cooking certain dishes - doesn't mean i
get around to it though :-)<br />
<br />
i studied bodywork for 3 years so i guess i give a reasonable
massage.

perspectives. learning languages.
running....
working<br />
singing<br />
music<br />
making people laugh<br />
smiling<br />
staying positive<br />
oral ;) hehe
art, making random comments, singing commercial jingles, saying
sweet nothings to you (telepathically that is), being distracted by
people walking their dog, reading on a moving vehicle--no motion
sickness here and creating awkward situations then laughing because
of the awkward silence thus further deepening the awkward vortex.
making people laugh. breaking awkward silences, but let it be
known<br />
i leave comfortable silences alone. video games and board
games.<br />
i'm pretty handy when it come to building bikes and stuff.
fairly<br />
savvy with computers, but not a crazy super hacker or anything.

philosophy, working with my hands / diy.

coming off as a carefully composed conundrum of cohesive
contradictions.<br />
<br />
avoiding sleep.
i'm a dancer and choregrapher. not saying im the best at it, its
just what i love.
cooking, teaching things, skiing, listening, rock climbing
fish, pushing buttons, fixing 1 in 10 things that i take apart to
repair/destroying most things i try to innocently play
with/wear/look at/walk by, i'm not going into how it may not be my
fault... drinking beer? can i put that?
...sidestepping suburban moms with their crazy strollers. getting
totally distracted with all the cute puppies and kittens. helping
lost tourists read their maps and pointing them in the right
direction. creating yumminess out of flour, sugar, butter and eggs.
i love working with kids and i'm really good at it as well. i am
also a swimmer and can play basketball although i don't do that
very much these days. i am great at keeping in touch with my
friends despite the distance. i can drink my coffee black and i am
addicted to chapstick and diet coke. i love to ski and i actually
have a pass and house in tahoe this winter (although there could be
more snow). my favorite place in the world is vail for skiing.
getting lost, talking about anything, mixed media art, text art,
cooking, coffee cupping, arguing a point for the sake of doing so,

speaking spanish, or any other language for that matter, things
that require grace and balance, being quiet, drawing/illustration,
forgetting people, keeping plants alive.<br />
<br />
also! i cannot ride a bike or drive a car in the slightest. if you
are someone who is really awesome to the point of being able to
instruct, and are local, you should teach me! same goes with
languages and sign language. i've been told that i'm cute when i'm
trying to learn something new ;)
wow- humility?<br />
<br />
i can knit a warm sweater and it looks pro ( have not made one in
about 10 years), cook a great soup and other food groups. i have a

movies, being horizontal, being myself, making you laugh, and ping
pong
i'm a pretty good boxer and my childhood dream was to be a
professional, although my life never really went that way.

sure the gardening bit will make every one swoon. :)

storyteller, so this talking and listening thing goes both ways.
laughing not only at my own jokes/observations, but at yours as
well.
not doing things, becoming completely obsessed with the most random
crap, hating on people
problem solving. if someone lays out a problem clearly, i'm usually
pretty good at helping to find a solution. although i know
sometimes people just want someone to understand what they're going
through. but i'm pretty good at that too.
i understand complicated systems really really fast. anything i put
my intention to.<br />
<br />

i think i'm more average than really good at a lot of things, but
i have attempted to be a dedicated daughter to my parents and
mother to my kids, make a home comfortable wherever i live, am
hospitable to friends and guests, and i really like encouraging
others in their dreams--as well as pursuing my own. i like to build
connections, love to explore, try hard not to be materialistic, and
to find humor in situations.
whistling through my teeth, remembering details of stories people
tell about their lives and then surprising them with my memory when
i refer to those stories later in conversation, starting but not
finishing novels but also getting into other novels so much that i

motivated and moving together in the same direction, having fun,
organizing, being lazy, being productive, having a great time,
taking risks and making people feel very special, driving my audi
tt very fast!
boxing, kick-boxing, wrestling, anatomy (well i guess i can't be

pretty darn good.<br />
<br />

not much of that is evident here, apparently).<br />
<br />
if you think you would enjoy the company of an affectionate
provocateur, who enjoys both genuine warmth, compassion - and
playful sarcastic ribbing, i grew up 30 minutes outside of
manhattan, so, that's a part of my personality, you might enjoy my
company.<br />
<br />

than cooking, i just like chopping things. i love knives.
tough one... let's have a chat!
1.making breakfast in bed.<br />
2.fixing things. i had my first gas station when i was 11. i was an
aircraft mechanic for 20 years. then i worked the dot com and fixed
dsl circuits. now i work maintenance at shell refining.
being comfortable with myself and can adapt easily with diverse
groups of people and different social situations. i consider myself
pretty open minded and fun loving. not being judgmental is
important to me.
making smoothies. i worked at a smoothie stand for my first job. my
favorite flavor was the one with all the boosters.
interpretive dance, appreciating the written word, making cherry
pie, enjoying wit.
watching tv, chillin', sightseeing, people (boy) watching.
being the human google, whether it's for directions, random facts,
or restaurant recommendations.<br />
inventing delicious meals with the dubious contents of my
fridge.<br />
grammar and punctuation, contrary to this list.<br />
kicking your ass at scrabble, set, or solitaire.<br />

snowboarding<br />
parallel parking<br />

trapeze. writing online profiles.
i'm really good at/with people. i can hold a conversation with a

1. learning (yay academia)<br />
2. procrastinating<br />
3. completing tasks efficiently (perhaps due to an excess of number
2)<br />
4. stalking my exs (j/k they all got restraining orders, i suck at
stalking)
due to my interest in enlightenment, and subsequent involvement in
buddhism, i've learned that, at the very least, there's another way
of looking at things. rather than looking at them as being problems
that were here already, i practice seeing the universe as a name
i've used to describe the results of my actions from my countless
previous lifetimes. that way i don't blame anybody, or anything,
for my problems. however, that isn't to say that i wouldn't ask a
person verbally abusing me to stop (to begin with).
being modest? hahah. i have a lot of hobbies. ask me about them.
my friends would say i'm a good people person. i have no trouble
meeting new people and i always find the good in someone. this is
true but i still maintain a small circle.. what do i think i'm good
at? dancing, in particular bachata y salsa. ah yes and in the
shower i think i'm good at singing.. lol
brevity.
i want to believe i'm good at expressing kindness, supportive
listening, writing, taking risks, and learning new things.<br />
<br />
i'm trying to de-emphasize some other things i'm also good at 
such as (over)analyzing, being very responsible, driving myself too
hard, and taking everything seriously. when i asked a woman friend
to give me feedback on a previous version of this profile, she
cautioned me that the foregoing sentence might suggest, to someone
who doesn't know my background and personality, that i am trying be
a slacker; let it hereby be known that i'm constitutionally
incapable of being a slacker.
solving problems, and getting people to like me. conveniently, both
of these are a big part of my daily work.<br />
<br />

<br />

expressions.

works.

i'm a natural networker though i'm not the biggest fan of small
talk.<br />
<br />
being nerdy<br />
compassion<br />
my five favorite jokes<br />
being a good friend and listener
making what you think is impossible a reality through pure
willpower. (and magic) im also good at stiching, dancing, looking
at people right in the eye... finding things that are small and
wonderful...
being a sarcastic asshole in a jovially cheeky manner. also adept
at employing scatological humor. other than that, too many things
to be really good at any of them. i enjoy writing, singing, and
writing music. i am really good at making animal noises, as well as
perfectly emulating someone's voice and demeanor. this skill may
take some time to adapt to new acquaintances, but it always is an
inexhaustible well of comedy once i perfect someone's particular
cadence.
drawing, tinkering, listening; not too bad at being a dad
traveling. i love getting my passport stamped. i've had the
pleasure of living and working in australia for 4 years. the ex-pat
thing was a challenging yet amazing experience. i still keep in
touch with some amazing friends i made over there.

listening<br />
coming up with band names or party themes<br />

i am a good listener.
taking charge and making people laugh. i can be out going, but i
love my alone and quiet time too.
-coloring books<br />
<br />
-vigilante justice<br />
<br />
-convincing you that's tottaly a real word when playing scrabble
(ive since moved on to the cuthroat, ruthless high stakes world of
bannagrams.)<br />
<br />
-commanding sea creatures to attack (besides molluscs and tube
worms, in fact even if i could talk to them i wouldnt want to
anyways becasue they're stupid. stupid and icky so there!) *due to
a recent outcry from mollusc/cephalapod fans everywhere i'm willing
to reconsider my, perhaps ill advised, hatred of the mollusk family
and yes those slimy fuckers are actually really smart which makes
them all the more terrifying. but i love the fact that people care
more about mollusks than the french. that makes my heart
smile<br />
<br />
- being open minded and accepting of new expeariences, places,
ideas and cultures. except the french, they can just fuck right
off.<br />
that only applies to the dudes though i hate to say, the women are
begrudgingly pretty damn cute and charming. but if theres one thing
this planet can finally rally behind its hatered of french dudes, a
primal gutteral instinct rightly shared by all cultures,
creeds,phylums, kingdoms and class.<br />
<br />
-commanding sea creatures to attack the french<br />
<br />
-everything else, well except spelling...
seeing thru bullshit and making jokes.
talking, i'm a very talkative person, but i like talking with
people, not to people. i'd like to think i am a very creative
person, and i think most people i know would agree. i'm not very
good at summarizing myself...

stuff when it's not being communicated. listening to people.
bonding with animals. driving and using my sense of direction.
organizing outdoor adventures. i absolutely rock at cuddling.
* playing music. i play piano, mostly classical and a little jazz
(rusty now).<br />
* imagining a plan and bringing it to fruition.<br />
* connecting with people<br />
<br />
i enjoy pilates, jogging, swimming, biking. i do insight meditation
every day.
writing. creative endeavors. computers.
i'm really good at making people laugh. not because i'm funny, but
because i'm really easy to laugh at. i am also good at sprouting
off random and insignificant facts about things that don't matter,
arguing about something when i know i'm wrong, and opening my mouth
before i have the chance to think about what nonsense is about to
come out.
being present. i'm also a very good listener and i'm goos at being
on time. i'm viciously supportive of all those around me. laughing
at the world and creating community. remembering random
philosophical crap from my under grad years.
being selflessly mindful.
scrabble, naming countries in africa (or countries anywhere in the
world really), finding great vacation deals. matchmaking.
dressing to impress, making clothes, making breakfast, being
spontaneous, having adventures whatever i do
finding things to do and coming up with new ideas.
clearly procrastinating, but let's call it a healthy work-life
balance or multitasking instead. i am also good at being
optimistic.
letting my imagination run wild, laughing, listening
maintaining work-life balance. and cooking.

laugh even when you're pissed, and then demanding we get the hell
out of here, even though sometimes we're at home, and then we get
confused because there's nowhere really to go.<br />
<br />
sometimes making up stories kinda gets away from me.

to the fullest

doing either 4 non blondes or montell jordan covers, a'capella.
figuring out how to knock down hurdles.<br />
cooking.<br />
throwing a good party.<br />
mimicking voices. i'm kind of a parrot.<br />
making people feel at ease.
building crap, computers, anything motorized, audio video both
mobile and home, growing stuff, and getting into car accidents
about 26 so far. ;)
entertaining friends new and old.<br />
<br />
video games, role playing, random media and comic book
trivia.<br />
<br />
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=sex">sex</a> (learning new
things and using that to please whomever i'm with.) and music
(listening to it and being a critic, not making it sadly).<br />
<br />
listening and advising.<br />
<br />
being a cooking bachelor <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=food">food</a>, and eating what others have cooked
for me.<br />
(gamer rule #2: never turn down free food!!)<br />
<br />
there is something very sexy about a good meal before good sex and
a snack after to build energy for another round.
proving darwin's theory.
listening and being a great friend
snowboarding. i was an instructor at squaw a few years back, loved
it. stoked for winter, but optimistic for summer this year... going
to start exploring more warm sports.<br />
<br />
cooking. seems like nobody knows how to cook anymore, and that's
really sad. it's alchemy, without the gold. i'm going for the hat
trick now too-- grow the food in your garden and then cook it!
eating spicy food. food always tastes better spicy, and i have yet
to meet someone who can challenge me on eating spicier food than
me.
learning and appreciate new games!
making people laugh, see your smiling already!
finding things to do and places to go. even if i just landed
somewhere.<br />
<br />
keeping conversations rolling. i believe in silence, not awkward
silence.<br />
<br />
gift giving.<br />
<br />
not paying retail price.
remembering random trivia. being nerdy, but with a hint of
machoness. sarcasm.
enjoying the moment and interacting with others. i'm also very
athletic and a strong runner.
being passionate about things. i try to perfect my hobbies and my
work, and don't half-ass things.
tinkering. i am constantly taking things apart and trying to put
them to other uses. currently, i've been spending my time focusing
on these little black computer chips and making them make homemade
speakers pop and whistle. i someday hope to make a moving
synthesizer that people can interact with.<br />
<br />
i've been told i am a good listener-- i can't remember who said it
though or in what context:)<br />
<br />
i have a biting wit. however, i am not an angry person.<br />
<br />
i can cook. i bake tasty, hot bread and can mix a mean gibson and
grill up a hell of a steak. yup, i'm not the guy for a vegan but i
do eat tons of veggies.
i strive to be really good at whatever i put my mind and hands to.
i was raised by a hardcore polish mom, so my sister and i are
expected to know everything, do everything, excel at everything and
not break a sweat doing it (if only that were possible). obviously,
those are unrealistic expectations, but worthy goals, nonetheless.
making multi-media &amp; found art<br />
sculpting trees<br />
repairing things with wire and my leatherman<br />
knapping arrowheads<br />
crocheting (but not so good at knitting)<br />
<br />
injecting subversive ideas into conservative thinking<br />
de-escalating conflicts<br />
<br />
i used to be good at climbing, but gave it up after some medical
problems. i'm ok at yoga and i'd like to pick it up again. or tai
chi. i have fair stamina on a bike - i can go up and down the hills
no problem. i can do about 7 one-handed pushups and can crush an
apple with one hand.<br />
<br />
construction, roofing, swinging a pick<br />
<br />
computers, science, math, problem solving, pattern recognition,
bioinformatics, energy system modeling, yada yada
being me :) i am also good at laughing, telling funny jokes &amp;
stories.
listening, meeting people on planes, eating food (less good at the
actual cooking part), making people laugh, getting people together,
mediating, challenging others, perusing the aisles of a grocery
store, seeing both sides of a story/playing devils advocate,
boggle, and spelling.
acting like a local; making conversation with strangers; laughing;
parallel parking; navigating (on foot, by car, by public
transportation); baking christmas cookies (one of the last vestiges
of my lapsed catholicism); assembling pizzas; making corny jokes;
using semicolons.
working...eating... putting people i care about first. i tend to be
good at things i really care about.
working the right side of my brain a lot harder than the left.
pretty much anything creative. drawing, painting, writing weird
little love songs in the back of my head. i think i've become good
at daytime naps and then staying up late. i like to be read to, i'm
good at learning and good at making light of pretty much anything.
asking a lot of questions<br />
math<br />
naming the make and model of cars on the road<br />
challenging myself
making people laugh, or asking questions. i like smiling, and
thinking.
awkwarding any situation possible. seriously. some recent
headlines?<br />
- told a customer i liked to "pound it"<br />
- said both "whip it out" and "it went down on me" in the same work
meeting<br />
- accidentally bought a male enhancement "shot" when i couldn't
find any 5 hour energy (i'm sorry but extendze could easily mean
that it would extend your energy).<br />
- wrote a 750 word essay to "team coco" to cancel some extra
tickets i received; message included phrases like "insert wood/hard
on joke here" and "freeballing" (not within the same sentence or
subject matter, mind you).<br />
- meet some random dude from montana at a costume party and
accidentally insulted him when i asked if he was wearing a costume
or always dressed like a cowboy. (the answer was neither).<br />
all of these incidents were within the last month.<br />
<br />
parking by braille.<br />
<br />
saying words wrong. i never learned phonics (long story) so unless
i've memorized how to pronounce and spell the word, i'm at a loss.
this has lead to somewhat lazy reading practices - for years i used
to read "chaos" as "chachos" (which actually sounds a lot more epic
anyway.)<br />
<br />
when i get stubborn about something, it's no longer a possibility -
it's a fact.
sex. and art. and making people laugh.
above all... listening. (more people should try and practice that
one). aside from that, i like to think of myself as a good camera
operator. i haven't worked as a carpenter for some time (wanted to
chase a dream instead), but i'm a good carpenter. i've been told
i'd make a good mediator. i'm an okay cook (yet unpredictable). i'm
good at empathizing with people which helps me to be good at caring
about people. and if you'll forgive me for a little not so dry
humor, i have a well trained tongue that loves to come out and
play:)
... ummm ... without sounding like a narcissist ... anything i put
my mind to doing! i think that's true with anyone and anything.
truly do your ultimate best and that's good enough for everything!
what a troubling question for someone who is self effacing. . i'm
really good at making chocolate fudge pudding, and a rather fine
roasted squash and chickpea salad. i'm really good at turning my
alarm off when i mean to get up and go for a run. trying to do too
much. making a campfire. directions  except that one time on
majorca when i directed us the wrong way around the island and made
us really late for dinner. otherwise i'm golden.
spending time on the details.<br />
<br />
making and awesome playlist to rock out to.<br />
<br />
i can snowboard every trail that has been put in front of me and
often times off the trail as well.
ha i have to pick one...
wouldn't you like to know?! *blush*<br />
(oh, and i play a pretty mean guitar...)
problem solving... i think, if i encounter an obstacle or a
problem, it bugs me if i don't find a solution for it... and that
pretty much goes for everything in general... work, life,
relationships, mechanical, etc. ...<br />
<br />
adapting to new environments...<br />
<br />
i love swimming, bowling, snowboarding, computer stuff, car stuff
throwing a decent meal together. whether it's planned or
spontaneous, i like cooking...being creative with small spaces. i
have always lived in small apartments but somehow i make it
work...endurance. i think that my semester or two of boxing taught
me this...talking to people. a combination of retail jobs and a
communication degree help. but, i have always been good at striking
up conversation.
editing films and dealing with tech. also i listen
<a class="ilink" href="/interests?i=eating">eating</a> anything,
partying, doing crazy shit, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=dancing">dancing</a>, video games, programming,
i really good at communicating and knowing what i like and don't
like.<br />
<br />
what i really like: learning, adventure, traveling and seeing new
places, challenges, open minds, different opinions, stimulating
conversations, listening, laughing, people watching, being with
people who challenge me, talking to old people about their life
experiences, playing with kids and getting to act like a kid, the
water, soccer, swimming, sailing, surfing, designing clothes,
making art, story slams, listening to npr and all of my podcasts
and chocolate covered strawberries with champagne.<br />
<br />
what i really don"t like: drama, playing games, hypocrites, people
who think they know everything, closed minds, judgemental people,
tassel shoes, working 9 to 5, keeping up with the jones's,
having/taking more than you need and gluttony.<br />
<br />
i really hate arguing with people.....(but i do really love to
debate)
alliteration<br />
empathizing<br />
experimenting<br />
experiencing other cultures and lifestyles<br />
expression through art drawing and design<br />
energy creation with the sun<br />
exercising and leaving it all in the ring<br />
eating at awesome sf restaurants
pumpkin pie and software. both from scratch.<br />

these are all on my resume.
i'm really good at cooking! surprising considering no one ever let
me do the cooking when i'm back home. i personally blame moving
away from home cooking and suddenly subsisting on a diet of ramen
and takeout.<br />
<br />
currently expanding the list of dishes that i know the recipe to by
heart. made some delicious curry rice the other day, its
surprisingly simpler than i thought!<br />
<br />
aside from cooking (which is slowly becoming my foremost
passion)... i have decent poem-crafting skills, honest! message me
if you'd like me to send you a sample. :)
working with my hands
designing. devising. planning. plotting. computing. concocting.
conceiving. contriving. scheming. debating. machinating.
organizing. and peeing while standing.
being me.
making people laugh.<br />
getting along with all types of people.<br />
my job.<br />
finding the silver lining.
music and random facts. ask me anything about sharks,
i make some wicked french toast.
being a mom (my teenagers actually like me!), listening and being a
friend. my cooking isn't too bad either!
listening, communicating (i have the gift of gab), making people
laugh, cooking, enjoying myself, board/trivia games, some other
stuff i shoudn't mention here ;-)
saying what everyone is thinking. public transportation. forgetting
to whisper. enjoying food. wanting to wear converse to every
occasion. listening. providing snacks. leaving funny voice mail
messages. napping. drawing weird slightly dirty stick figures for
other people. real talk. being a veritable internet movie database
of reality and some scripted television shows.
digging myself into holes in the idiomatic sense... so i'm not
quite covered with dirt all the time, just most of it.
assessing a situation<br />
avoiding death (so far)<br />
finding parking<br />
quick fixes<br />
explaining things<br />
getting into places i shouldn't be<br />
diffusing angry people with mind tricks<br />
conversation<br />
saying the wrong thing<br />
saying the right thing....way too late<br />
using a leatherman<br />
setting up a campsite<br />
cooking<br />
scootering the shit out of sf<br />
beards. i grow an epic one
making people around feel good and make them laugh
being friendly and make other people feel comfortable.
many of the arts. and i make an excellent meat sauce.
singing, cooking, word puzzles, practical jokes
being silly<br />
agreeing to disagree<br />
keeping my word<br />
pulling it all together<br />
creative problem solving
living my life the way i want it to be lived, artsy things (mainly
music), school, rock-climbing, rhetoric, philosophy, knowing about
weird stuffff regarding media history, having sex, singing, getting
parties crackin/aiding people in the pursuit of adventures and fun,
film criticism, etc.
lots of things! i'll let you find out!
couch-potatoing, obscure movie trivia, wearing dude pants. and i
guess i have above-average drawing skills.
not putting effort into my online dating profile, finding a good
home for whiskey, staying up really late, and not getting out of
bed before noon.
planning events and travels
having fun and not being bored :d i don't remember the last time i
said the words "i am bored." when people do, i think they are
trying to say "i am boring" ;)<br />
<br />
i am also very good at making awesome meals from crappy ingredients
in the refrigerator. i love making breakfast!
anything i put my mind to.
wordplay. puns that are good maybe 30% of the time and the rest are
so bad that i usually only make myself and a few close friends
laugh.<br />
making up songs on the spot.<br />
seeing things from other people's point of view.
cracking jokes, day dreaming...and i make a mean choco chip cookie.
i love computer, cooking and partying. it and cook its the same
thing for me you can create a lot of thing but you need riguor to
have good results. and i hang out all days i can.

using chop-sticks, and saying bad words.

really really bad at: scooping ice cream. seriously, get out of the
way if you see me scooping ice cream. i've injured myself, others,
gotten the police involved. but i just got my sponsor so, one day
and one step at a time.
i'm really good at keeping a posotive state of mind and keeping a
calm demenier during pressure situations and i also think i'm
really good at getting people to laugh and smile but as far as
physical talents and mental talents i'm a naturale at everything or
more like a quick learner that's what i'm really good at
making people smile;)
cooking<br />
singing while driving<br />
being way to competitive at sports (basketball, football)
i am a world traveler so i could be your privee tour guide :)<br />
i am also a gr8 kisser and love to cuddle.
being me. my friends tell me i'm the best kind of friend, so maybe
i'm good at that, too?
math, games, empathy, winning! really i enjoy being good at things
there's a certain joy that i get from mastering a new skill and a
lasting sense of satisfaction in it. whenever i come to something
new i have this tendency to obsess over it until i've reached some
level of mastery.
coming up with ideas for next film projects, video and sound
editing, cooking, baking apple pie, making fun of myself, kidding
around, making funny faces and sounds...<br />
<br />
but i used to be good at yoga, tai-chi, and skiing. i've been
telling myself that i'll get back to them. so if you want to
inspire me to do any of these things, that would be fantastic!

disclosure)<br />
- debating<br />
- investigating / analyzing<br />
- defending people with a good argument<br />
- solving problems diplomatically<br />
- making tea
* i've been told i possess a scary memory. i'm a repository of
useless information.<br />
* i know what looks good on other people (though i only help with
that if asked).<br />
* if most people fear public speaking nearly as much as death, then
i guess i have a leg up.<br />
* giving the impression i pulled off something effortlessly when in
reality i worked my ass off...i hope.<br />
* being horribly inefficient.<br />
* cracking timely jokes, i'm not saying that they're good.<br />
*people watching, it's an art, unless you follow them home, then
it's a crime.
i'm really good at almost anything i put my mind to do. executive
business administration is my strong career background, however my
greatest joy is being the best that i can be. i'm really good at so
many things because i dedicate myself to whatever i enjoy doing; i
am a master of living and my friends come to me for advice on just
about anything they want to know. i am best at being a great
friend. i am great at giving sound advice. i am proud to say that i
am well-rounded and hope you are as well!
creating adventures and fun<br />
and also sitting still, focusing intently, and listening to you
being a great friend, i got your back! i'm good at being true and
honest, so you can ask me any thing!!! i'm good at getting people
to open up to me, i think its ability i hardy use.<br />
drawing in my sketchbook, thumb wrestling, being silly and having
fun! talking to people, making faces, kissing ;) making people
smile. peanut butter sandwiches...<br />
<br />
i'm good at relaxing, i'm a great motivational speaker!

listening.<br />
getting to the point.<br />
smiling and laughing.<br />
being positive and believing that things will work out.<br />
making plans and following through.<br />
being direct.<br />
making friends and keeping them.<br />
i'm insightful.<br />
i'm really good at "getting it"...i hope you get it, too. wait,
that sounded naughty - lol! i didn't mean it that way...but now
that's kinda funny. i meant it the other way. but take it whatever
way you want ;-).<br />
good at spelling...does that count for anything anymore?
breakfast. i love having brunch at my place... pancakes, waffles,
omelets, bacon, mimosas. add some great company and it sounds like
a perfect weekend morning.
being a good friend and companion
seeing right through you. helping those in need. not taking in any
bullshit.
actually i'm really bad at filling out forms and paperwork so this
is hard to answer.<br />
<br />
i'm best at managing my time effectively, avoiding procrastination,
and the old nes game dr. mario.
listening, designing, thinking
-baking desserts. full stop. the more complicated the recipe is,
the more fun. it's rare when it doesn't turn out spectacular,
because it needs an eye for detail. want to make a banana bread
pudding from a thomas keller recipe sometime soon.<br />
<br />
-being optimistic. looking at things differently than others. this
is as a result of growing up in a place that was recently(ish)
voted the second happiest city in the country, despite
manufacturing companies leaving left and right and the hometown
economy stuttering to a halt years ahead of the rest of the
country. think if it started in 2001 instead of 2008.<br />
<br />
-empathizing. reading people and situations. people tend to find a
comfortable ear to rest on, and when coming for advice, both
medical (the patients i see at work), and personal (current friends
and lovers), they know that it comes from a place of wanting only
to help them; that it doesn't have an ulterior motive and that it
isn't just talking out of one's ass.
i'm good at smiling, relaxing with people, engaging in witty
conversation, learning (3 degrees so far), riding fast motorcycles,
athletics, stamina, great kisser, sex, experimenting, pleasing
others. i love to learn and can quickly figure out how to do most
things. am even a half-decent cook and make a mean chili.<br />
<br />
i'm even good with modesty but hey this is an advertisement, isn't
it? (i have an mba in marketing, too). i'll be modest once you get
to know me, really, i'm not one to brag or toot my own horn, except
in a venue such as this. :-)<br />
<br />
and i'm definitely not perfect...and don't profess to be...there's
lots of things i wish i could do better...like not getting
frustrated in traffic, being more patient, organizing my finances
or the stack of papers that never seem to find homes other than in
a pile on my desk...
being active! helping others, even those who aren't my
friend.<br />
<br />
writing stories and making music.<br />
<br />
looking for you.<br />
<br />
fixing pretty much anything.<br />
<br />
having a kick ass time doing random shit and finding stuff to do!
i'm good at videogames too so try me.
i like wordplay - not the documentary about the crossword puzzler
(though i liked that too) - but i like crossing words and drawing
things that have words in them. sometimes these things hang on the
wall and sometimes they are mailed to friends.
i'm extremely good at helping people feel good! thankfully it's
what i enjoy doing as well...in that way i am fulfilled. i can
freestyle at an adept level and i cook a mean soup, among other
culinary delights. i have a natural gift when it comes to video
games, and i am extremely talented at assisting others with
mental/emotional hurdles to overcome. i am a gifted light-worker
and exceptional wordsmith...among a few to mention.
enjoying the moment, cooking, finding shortcuts around traffic, my
job, dealing with life's crap, having fun
skiing
lots of things.
learning about new things. spending time outside. not getting
enough sleep.
organizing events.<br />
cooking big dinners for my family of friends.<br />
taking spontaneous roadtrips.<br />
being prepared like a girl scout.
i am really good at word choice - and i am rigorous about it too!
you will never hear me say "hella" or see me mis-use "their". i am
also really good at not using contractions.<br />
<br />
i am really good at not listing all the things i am really good at.
talking and living life to the fullest.
writing, diplomacy, fixing things, research, finding lost stuff,
talking people down off the high ledge, finding cool things at the
antique show/flea market, seeing through gop talking points,
compiling themed, multi-item gift packages, baking cheesecake,
making my friends laugh, not taking myself seriously, charming
children/parents/the elderly, listening to my conscience, common
sense and being practical.
writing too much on my okc profile?<br />
<br />
as my father would say: "i'm a jack of all trades but a master of
none." i like to think that no matter who i meet, i'll have
something in common with them. so go ahead, ask, you may be
surprised!<br />
<br />
giving massages. i'm not kidding, i used to charge people in high
school because word got around i was good at it.<br />
<br />
using chopsticks with my left hand. i'm right handed ~ i'm not
ambidextrous.<br />
<br />
i'm a fairly decent singer and dancer. i've been in an opera and a
few musicals in my time.<br />
<br />
many of my friends say that i have good insight and they tend to
ask my opinion on various situations having to do with love, life,
etc.<br />
sometimes i just wish i would use my own advice more!<br />
it's so much easier seeing the answers in others than in myself.
holding deep conversations.<br />
optimism.<br />
adapting.<br />
gardening.<br />
cooking.<br />
art.
- making friends and keeping them. i love new encounters and their
perspectives<br />
<br />
- finding inspiration in everything<br />
<br />
- sharing<br />
<br />
- asking the right questions and solving problems<br />
<br />
- playing devil's advocate<br />
<br />
- traveling unconventionally through uncertain lands<br />
<br />
- dancing<br />
<br />
- brainstorming<br />
<br />
- scuba diving<br />
<br />
- laughing at myself before anyone else does which is
semi-frequent<br />
<br />
- and, as my friends will attest to, i'm really really good at
finding parking spots...almost always!
getting people drunk, making food, talking in long convoluted
sentences, describing things that are mildly depressing in a way
that makes them sound near catastrophic.
