At this unearthly hour, I’m banging my head in frustration because I’m trying to design a website, and facing roadblocks. The biggest roadblock is … I don’t know website designing. :|
So, I decided to give up on designing for a while, and think about other such things that are on my wishlist. Skills I wish I had…
a) Singing – If I begin to sing, anyone with even the faintest notions of harming me will run for his/her life. So, I can sing to save my life. Though, it would’ve helped my cause better, if I could sing better.
b) Dancing – Yes, we’re broaching a very touchy topic now. With a track record of maiming several dance partner, and causing them grievous injuries, I’m a dangerous chap to dance with. On the positive side, I can only improve.
c) Writing – Hmmm, getting a bit on the ‘artistic’ side, eh? I shall consider myself a writer of note, the day I can regale people with humour of the quality of P.G. Wodehouse, or entertain them with poetry that has a lyrical quality like that of Alfred Noyes. Though, I guess I can write better than many ‘wannabes’.
d) Sketching – Now, this one will probably take multiple lifetimes to learn. It would be an understatement to say that I’m horrible at it. It’s not like I want to develop into a Picasso or a Rembrandt, but just that I’d like to be able to express myself visually. Anyway, no further discussions on this one.
e) Web designing – This is what started this post! And it is just reminding me that I’ve not made any progress on that front. I think I shall get going. Thankfully, you will not have to ‘evaluate’ most of the above skills (or the lack of them) for me. But, if and when I manage this last item, I shall certainly expect you to.

Imagine being one who does not have any of these skills either and CANNOT draw to save her life.... and taking a paper in visual communication worth 2 credits. Life can be a bitch with these things. :|
About your singing and dancing skills... you've managed to be pretty discreet about them. So I won't comment. :)
Aarbee, I get the picture... and as far as being discreet goes, I'll just say, "Discretion is the better part of valour."
evaluation of my capailities:
singing: no sense of tune and i never even remember the lyrics!
dancing: inspite of nin years of classes i still have two left feet!!!
writing: er...
sketching: two years of classes didnt help bt m good at Engg Drawing!
web designing: this one i m learning but given my history with classes dnt think that will help!
Tangerine, most of your post was pretty encouraging, except for the Engg. Drawing bit.
You see, I sucked at that too!!
