thursday threesome


Onesome: Innate-- talents? Do you have any you're willing to share? Maybe perfect pitch? ...or the ability to tie a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue? How about a "sense of direction"? Surely you can toss something out to the gang to to wonder about... I used to sing a lot and I loved to sing in groups but I don't I'm starting to have tinnitus and it interferes with my ability. When I worked at Houlton Farms Dairy Bar I learned to tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue, I don't know if I could do it now. When I have ever traveled in Europe, I've had an uncanny sense of direction--in Paris, I knew exactly how to navigate the underground. In Ireland, I could get around Dublin on the correct busses with absolutely no previous knowledge of how the public transport worked. Basic stuff like that. Maybe my only original one is that usually when I meet people I see colors around them. I don't know if it is an aura or what, but I am hyper-sensitive and sense flashes of light and color around almost everyone. Because it's constant, it is just something in the background and I'm not overly aware of it anymore. Ooooh, another good one is that if you jingle coins in your pocket I can tell (fairly closely) what the coins are. That used to buy me lots of drinks.

Twosome: Organizational-- style? "A place for everything and everything in its place"? ...or maybe, "the bills are somewhere in that stack" and the calendar still says "2006"? What's your system? gah... I have OCD hoarding... so I don't even want to think about this question. That's been traced back to an abusive stepparent in my formative years. (cue violins)

Threesome: Skills-- How are you about power tools? ...and tools in general? Are you a user or do you call someone to assist? Holy monkeyspit. Tools? The only tools I can hold my own around are the nerdy/dorky kind. I have a Phillips and regular screw driver, a ball peen hammer, an LWrench and Gorilla Glue. How's that for handy?
