11/13 - Transitions Tuesday!

Pretty much nothing. Truthfully, I'm just not that deep. Even most of my conversations are fairly superficial and light-hearted.
But, at the same time I don't get really stressed nor tormented, except over snow. So there is that

you sound exactly like my best friend, LOL

 

[Despairagus]

That's really cool. I admire people with talent: writers, artists, singers, etc.
I was thinking on the way to work today about how I have no talents nor passions and envious (in a good way) of those that do. I just work on shit.

Poppycock, everyone has something, some people just haven't figured it out yet. Plus a lot of people are talented in things that don't involve the arts at all and us artsy types are useless at certain things. Like math.

The trick is to meet the requirements.

they never tell you what they are looking for. they just say you have to pass the screening questions.

It's not a bad life though! LOL

 

[turkinlight]

hate those screening questions. you just never know what the hell they want from you? is there any way how to get those screening questions right? any tricks?

you just answer the questions. If you are what they are looking for, you qualify. If you aren't you toss it back and try again...

That is one HELL of a skill that most of us don't have!!!

I don't have arts. I did in high school but horsemanship, dogmanship, animal nutrition, hiking, kayaking, absorbing as much of nature as humanly possible, line dancing are the things that torment me. ( i have a lot of passions..)

that's because if they tell you what they're looking for, people will lie so they qualify

 

[themildone]

oh hey speaking of arts, anyone here work with oil pastels? I bought some a few days ago and I love them but I suck at using them

Yeah, if they tell people will lie. Some people will pass, some wont. That's just how it goes, there really isn't a trick besides maybe doing a whole lot of different things in your life. But that still won't help with some demos

Maybe your talent is related to not getting stressed. Like you're someone's stable person.

edit: That made more sense in my head

Also leads to blocks because that kind of thing tends to show up over the longer term, I suspect.

I'm kind of new but I've had really positive luck asking clarifying questions of requesters rather than trying to guess what they want.

You get a gold star.

See I have no idea what on earth to do with a horse, I'm an awful line dancer, but I love hiking and KAYAKING IS THE BEST SPORT NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Everybody has something.

I'm passably good at lots of stuff that doesn't amount to very much, but it keeps me busy lol

Perhaps. I certainly have not figured it out though.
There are things I'm good enough at, but nothing I'm spectacular. And there is just really is nothing that I feel that passion for.

I like it. I'll take it.

my best friend is my stable person

 

[Despairagus]

I used to use them a lot, my hubby uses them currently. Whaddaya having trouble with?

 

[John8888]

i had to let go around 5-6 of those surveys just because i couldn't pass the screening questions. do the requesters actually know your age, gender and all that?

Being a stable person is pretty much an unimaginable pipe dream to me so I mean, that's a talent. I agree with the rest.

i never got to kayak this year. it was sad. next year, hopefully. life has been different without my ex

I started line dancing in June and was god awful. But i've put in the time, and it's fun because it's really about ME. Not about the horse. or the dog. or another person. It's about me, damnit.

I can shade somewhat decently but I can absolutely not draw anything that isn't abstract. I suck and idk how to get better lol. I have all this stuff that wants to come out on paper but it looks like a mess because I can't draw.
