Under Construction ...

Ten No-Intention-to-be-Boastful Skills I Find I May Possibly Possess.

1. An ability and positive enjoyment in finding a linking point between two disparate things. I speak here from the experience currently of writing the ol' thesis (my day in and day out endeavour). I just never thought I would get The Picture of Dorian Gray and Nip/Tuck to meet on an interesting plane, but I think I have found it. I know you would think they were quite similar from a narcissism point-of-view, but, stubborn as I am, it wasn't narcissism I wanted to look at. This skill does work other places and I am hoping it will assist my dream of becoming an OuLiPo writer.
2. An okay ability to problem solve, even if not in the most logical or common sensical way. Common sense, says someone whom psychometric tests apparently show doesn’t have any, is over-rated.
3. Bit of a jack-of-all-trades. The party involved seems to be able to try most things with a relative amount of success—the only element lacking is either passion or perseverance, or conversely, possibly there is an abundance of short-term concentration span. Don’t like just doing one thing—the grass is always greener.
