Day One: Pride. Seven Great Things about Yourself

1. My broad reference pool. My pool is shallow, I'm the first to admit, but she is wide. It's mainly due to reading a hella lot and being willing to research. So remember kids, if you want to impress random strangers on the internet, read all that you can.
2. My steady hands. Not surgeon-steady, but they're willing enough to work on sewing, beading, and crocheting. I can do light shading with ball point pens, where you need that light touch.
3. Being self taught in shooping and internets. I'm not where I want to be by a long shot, but for the most part, if I have a cracky idea for an icon or a layout, I can figure out how to make it work.
4. Knowing what I'm doing with that whole "writing" thing. I realize that I give myself a lot of shit about my work. However, the comments are positive, and where they're not, they talk about where it can be made better, not about how it sucks.
5. My sense of rhythm. I can keep time (also handy for musical sense) and move around enough to fake most songs used to drag me out on the dance floor. I can't relax my movements, though, so I don't look as natural as better dancers seem to be on the floor.
6. Being fluent in two languages, being able to figure things out in two more. Something that I don't emphasize because of course I'm going to know two languages, I'm an immigrant. And I don't like saying that I "know" the two others because I'm not fluent. Still, I can read in three languages, with some dictionary help. I know two syllabaries. Mostly.
7. Space for Rent Rallying. The fact that I can manage to get my shit together during times of duress (after a lot of panicking and crying, NGL) shows that I can pull though. It... just takes a lot of doing.

Guys, this was hard. I wasn't even as prideful as needed for something like this. Oh, well, I'm sure the other entries will be easier. [/foreshadowing]
