			<![CDATA[I always had a very strong negative reaction to the sort of social networking that is supposed to be an all-important skill in the real world.  Not that I'm shy or can't make decent conversation or have trouble making friends, it's just the idea of doing it for the sake of success always made my skin crawl.  But, uh... because of procrastination and an aversion to bullshit schoolwork leading to me being perilously close to failing out of college nearly every semester I've been, I've developed a very strong ability to schmooze with professors and make fast friends with the people controlling my fate.  This is really the only reason I'll finally be graduating, despite not really ever improving my work habits or attendance, which is kinda bullshit.  But hey, I'm a whore for undeserved accomplishments, I'll take the diploma.<br /><br />The other thing that made this happen was that my girlfriend would cry because I hated her friends and made zero effort to encourage them liking me.  They're a serious bunch of twats, so fuck 'em right?  But "her crying = me feeling bad," which loses out to "socializing despite severe desire not to = them liking me = her not crying," clearly.<br /><br />So now I'm all about schmoozing.  Still skeeves me out when I think about it, how good I am at being fake.  Gross.]]>

Which could be part of some bizarre initiation rite we scare new people with ... just sayin', is all. <br /><br />I wish I knew more about camp-craft but I hate camping. (The Outdoors are fine, provided there are Indoors to eventually retreat to.) I hate camping, as a city boy at heart. If I wanted to live in the 19th Century, I'd build a fucking time machine. (I fully expect to be killed quickly in any survival situation.) <br /><br />That said, knowing how to build a lean-to won't help you survive on the mean streets of wherever you live.

			<![CDATA[How could I forget my advanced bullshitting skills which come from never doing the required prior reading. I find that the best tactic, as similarly espoused in Wedding Crashers, is not to hide in the corner and hope you don't get called on, but vigorously attack everyone else's point like you've not only read the article, but you care deeply about its conclusions, whatever they may be. It's a wonderful feeling at times, like dancing on a knife edge. <br /><br />Another tactic which I wouldn't recommend as I don't actually know how I did it comes from one first year history class that was in the afternoon preceded by a morning class then a three hour gap that I'd spend in the pub, so I'd come in to class 10 minutes late, a little worse for wear and promptly pass out, only to, according to my friends in the class as I have no memory of this, wake up when I was called on to answer a question, give a succinct and cogent relevant answer then promptly pass out again. I wish I knew how I did this.]]>

This is due to minor (as far as I'm concerned) health issues that will leaving me in pain so bad I'm non-functional unless sitting/laying &amp; so doped up on painkillers that I might as well call it a day.  It taught me how to pace my energy, love a balanced diet, and actually exercise so that I have some energy reserves.<br /><br />Three fingered typing in this day &amp; age means you get very fast at typing.  If my brain could only keep up with my fingers I'd be fine.<br /><br />I don't do drunk navigation;  it's on all the time.  This is due to the sad fact that after several years I still know so little about where things are.  This is mitigated by the fact that if a city is laid out according to grid rules, I can find anywhere given the address.]]>

(Little pyro that he was, I had visions of him burning down my parents' house. "Children Playing With Matches" is a euphemism for "Children Trying To Burn Down Buildings.") As he got older, I taught him how to drink. He doesn't drink much but he drinks smart. Knows his limit, doesn't mix beer and liquor, eats food, tries not to smoke too much dope. (Although young people today smoke heroic amounts of dope, these days. S'pose I did, too, when I was young.)<br /><br />Not Giving A Shit What People Think Of You is a VERY valuable skill, indeed.]]>

Or intentionally, for that matter. Also the resulting months of having my right hand immobilized in plaster made me marginally better at performing various tasks with my left. (Which, seeing as I was without lady-friend, included That One. More problematic at first than you might expect. Fucking awkward, really. Or, I guess, awkward fucking. Sorta. If you know what I'm talking about. And I think you do. Yeah.)<br /><br />(I'm talking about masturbation.)]]>
