Do you want to play questions?

Ganked from Ray:

I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including me) to ask you anything. [Or not.]

Hrm...I'll fall back on questions I've asked someone else. They're still valid questions:

1) What skills/abilities are you lacking right now, or just destined never to have, that you feel would be part of the "essential" you? (In the Discworld, Rincewind is a Wizard incapable of doing magic. But still a Wizard. Something like that, but perhaps not so extreme.)

2) What do you find attractive - in a "ooh, shiny" sense - in terms of people? Short term, first impressions and such.

3) Under what circumstances do you lie to people?

I *was* on my way to bed but I can never resist a response. Hard questions, actually.

1) An abiding sense of belonging. I was going to say confidence, but I can be confident on occasion. What I almost never feel is a sense of being with "my people". Hmm. I guess that's not an ability but it feels like it's something one might be able to learn to have. At least I think some people would say that it is. If that didn't count, then I would see the ability to relate better to people. I feel like a very social animal. But my lack of close friendships and lack of much of an active social network belies that.

2) I will dispense with the physical checklist. As far as displays or traits or behavior, someone who has a unique way of expressing themselves through their clothing, accessories, etc. Some way of signalling to people that they're different, but not in the subculture uniform way that the garden-variety goth is (for instance). Someone who's a good and joyful dancer (both freestyle and couples, both men and women). Intelligence that is not yoked to snobbishness or boorishness. Caring.

3) I try really hard not to lie. It's a point of honor with me. But white lies are the exception: lies that are essentially harmless in a case where being candid would hurt someone's feelings in a way that's not productive and that they might not get over.
