Steps toward myself
Well, this is back to haunt anyone who reads my Livejournal again. A couple posts ago (three or four-ish...) I made a big schpeal (sp?) about what I wanted to do with my life, job-wise. Well, I've gave it some thought off and on, and here's what I've come up with, according to the steps listed in that post.
Step one: Figure out what I want to do with my life.
To do this, I'm going to list what I believe, and what others have told me are: my talents, what I like to do in general, and things that I can't do/are bad at. Here goes...
Talents: I can carry a good tune/have a harmonic ear, and have been told that my voice sounds very good when I'm feeling the music inside of me (and that's without the training I'm going to be getting over the Winter Cast!). I've also been told that I'm a decent actor, and with training (again) and commitment I could get better. I am good with facts, (so long as they don't drone on forever), and have the ability to call on them when needed. I'm good in the services sort of area because I'm generally well rounded, so long as I keep my head in the game. With practice, I can usually figure out accents of different languages (assuming I've heard the language enough and have been practicing for at least a month straight). I have a sense of responsibility, and use it when I realize things are going wrong, and have the ability to go against the rules when needed, although that one I'm not 100% all the time exactly... heh, "perfect" at or anything.
Things I like to do: Music music music. I also love performing in front of Live audiences, even if it's freakin' exhausting. I like to give a helping hand in any situation, sometimes to the point when I end up making matters worse, unfortunately. I love learning new things that interest me (example: Computers, Music, instruments, languages, etcetera). I like playing video games, in particular: Multiplayer RPGs. I've started to enjoy Reading lately and I love writing stories and songs, even if 95% of the time I give up in the middle of it and/or don't like the end result. Sadly enough, I say this solely because I'm listing all the things I enjoy... ever since I got into express I've actually >.< ... enjoyed Dancing. Ok, I said it, happy? I love cooking, although I'm not very "excellent" at that either. I like photography, even if I don't have a camera to prove it, although I can't see me getting anywhere in that field except maybe to be a video camera dude or something mebbe. I also like to explore new ideas about Religion, science, and other things that might be a benefit to mankind, although most of the ideas end up either confusing me or going against my main beliefs and thoughts. Above all, especially through entertainment and/or a general helping hand, I love making the people around me happy. So I'm a people-pleaser. Most of the time it's what pleases me, ok? So :P Oh, and I love climbing things too. heh. Just had to add that in.
Things I'm bad at/hate doing: Organization, and virtually anything to do with Money, large lists, or extensive re-re-re-re-reading, etcetera. I hate being in positions of Power, because I'm scared I'll make a decision that won't benefit everyone, and end up making things worse from my lack of decisiveness. I could never do a job that would make me stay up all night... I've yet to pull a successful all-nighter without falling asleep (at the latest so far:) 6:00AM, nor will I probably ever be able to, so... no night jobs. I'd like to think I'm good with people, but there are some types that I just can't understand/do anything about, so I guess that's more of a 50/50 fact. I'm not the greatest when it comes to seeing people's blood, guts, and other... "innards", but I've been improving.
I'll probably add more stuff as I think of it. That all being said, now I hafta come up with jobs that fit with all that criterea, in order to successfully finish step one. Here's my list so far (anyone tell me anything you can think of, and I'll add it)
Actor/Singer/Voice Actor (Performer in General)
Music Therapist
Cook/Chef/Waiter
Fast food Restaurant Worker (McD's was fun, Ok?)
Camera guy/Sound Technician
Missionary?
