Your Hidden Talent

You are a great communicator. You have a real way with words. You're never at a loss to explain what you mean or how you feel. People find it easy to empathize with you, no matter what your situation. When you're up, you make everyone happy. But when you're down, everyone suffers.

well, that just goes to show you how inaccurate these quizzes are, eh? I'm awful at communicating. Well, verbally, anyway. I'm okay in writing... in fact, I tend to babble on in writing as you may all very well know. However, for those of you who don't know me in person, I suck when communicating face-to-face... or even over the phone. I'm not good at expressing my feelings. I get tongue-tied and forget what to say. It's coming up with things to say on the spot that I have troubles with. When I'm typing, I have time to think of nice ways to word things. Of course, I'm not as eloquent as some... like asiansquishie or cocoanorris or mikefireball or even nduveruh, who have all amazed me with their way in which they write what they're thinking. They put it so well... and I wish I had that ability. Which makes me wonder sometimes why I'm an english major. Yeah, I can write papers... I even made A's on some of them. But I'm no where near what other's are. I'm good at linguistics, though... and I like that. That's why I'm the english major, I suppose. I enjoy reading, at any rate, and reading novels is dang better than reading textbooks.

I think it's words like "dang" that make my writing suck. oh, well.

I've got this awful urge to use the word "alas" in my writing tonight. Perhaps it's my tribute to Dumbledore because I like him so much. but, alas, I'm not sure. :)

"Alas, ear wax."

Yes, gotta love Dumbledore.

Anyway, I still don't feel like catching up with what's been going on. I told Holly, anyway, and that makes it seem like I don't have to catch up on anything. I guess that sucks for the rest of you (or an added super bonus for the rest of you, who knows?). The thing about not updating for a few days is that you feel obligated to catch up on what you've missed, and then writing seems like a burden. I don't like for writing to seem like a burden b/c sometimes I feel it is my only release. The only way I can communicate well... or at least mediocre. Is that how you even spell mediocre? it looks so weird. blah, okay, enough of this nonsense.
