Starting projects.

I’ll update when I’m gold at finishing them.

Procrastinating

I will let you know later how good I am at it.

I have a tendency to get fixated on something creative, and then pour hours and hours into it while not doing other things that I should be. As a result I have some eclectic creative talents, one of which was playing the musical instruments in Guild Wars 2. They let you play notes with the number keys and I got really into making arrangements and performing for people waiting for boss spawns. I played for hours just enjoying making music and I ended up being pretty well known in the community for a while. I would say only 2 or 3 other people were as good as me at one point. I’m out of practice now but it’s always a treat when I hear someone playing one of my arrangements.

This is one I’m really proud of https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qzDhxeECOL4

I can tame and turn any semi-feral cat into a lap cat.

I have never been unsuccessful at getting traumatized shelter or farm cats to eventually relax and become super affectionate. It takes repeated exposure, it’s not a magic power. I learened how due to a fortune upbringing on a farm and lots of time to perfect my methods.

Keeping my neighbourhood tiger free. Hasn’t been a sighting of a tiger here since I moved in. No sharks either.

Oh, and cooking. I’m pretty good at cooking. More than one set of friends have said I should apply to go on Masterchef but I have no interest in fancy plating and I’m not much of a puddings guy.

Flipping flippers.

But my home machine is broken right now…again.

Reading people.
Had some troubles with family members and drugs growing up, so you learn to read situations and people real fast. I guess it’s a survival skill as addicts often say and do what they need to to get their next fix.

A nice «skill» to have, even though I’d rather I didn’t need to develop it

Formal documents. Drafting, formatting, editing documents for legal submissions, complex advice and such.

Rapping. Writing it, at least. And the best ever, obviously

I am very good at cooking now, like whatever I want to make I can AND I can take whatever we have and make something good, and I enjoy it, and people comment on it and want me to cook for them. Hobby level good, I would say. Food and drinks both, always something fermenting over here, and I love making cocktails (obviously).

Oil painting

I’m pretty good. I had a client donate two of my portraits of Patrick Mahomes to his foundation, which he signed and auctioned off, so somewhere in this country my signature is literally next to Patrick Mahomes’ on his own portrait in some rich assholes’ art collections.

Making logos. good enough that whenever my friends want a logo to be made for their brand or band they come right to me lol

I have a real passion for software development. There are raw skills like algorithms that lots of other people are better at, but when it comes to API design, clean code, enacting principles of good architecture and UX, I think I am uncommonly good. Most of the people I work with don’t care and frankly I think caring and practice is all it takes but somehow that’s not something most people in the industry are capable of.

But I love making software that people like or at least hate less than what they had before.

Deep Rock Galactic. I can carry 3 greenbeards on a H5 if I’m not sleepy.

I’m a master of modesty, ask me what I’m good at and I will blush and touch the back of my neck and say stuff life “well shuucks…”
