How well can you...?

One of those random things that goes around... DeeDee did this ages ago...

How well can you...

cook? Mfff... culinary calamities are my speciality. :P Although... they are happening less and less now, which is pleasing. :)

sew? I love sewing, (though I don't get much time for it anymore), and I think I'm okay at it. :) 

clean? Haha... I can clean well. Whether I do clean well is another story. Usually I'm in a big hurry. :P

sing? Ah dear... not very well I'm afraid. I wish I could sing better. :)

play an instrument? When I put a bit of effort into practising, then I can do what I need to do...

write? Formal/professional writing - badly. Rambling on and on with random junk - fairly well. :P

read? I read when I have to, and I am capable of reading well. However it takes a good book to hold my concentration.

paint or draw? Very badly. Let's not go there.

tell stories? I love making up stories, but am ashamed to tell them to anyone except cousins under the age of 5, because anyone older than that would think I'm silly. :P

persuade? Depends who I'm trying to persuade. I don't like to persuade, because I think of it as on par with manipulation (and I despise manipulation). However, a reproachful look works with some.

resist those who persuade you? Ha. :P Not well at all. Some people can get me to do almost anything. :)

dress? I feel that I can dress for any occasion. I like how I feel when I dress up nicely. :)

decorate a room? I love decorating rooms... time and lack of funds can be somewhat inhibiting for a person with lots of ideas, though.

decorate a cake? Again, I love decorating. Have always enjoyed decorating cakes.

parallel park? I learnt to do it in our big cars, so I can do it okay. Having said that, I haven't done it in a manual car yet. *writes that on to-do list*

regular park? Okay-ish I suppose.

control yourself around food? Um... at the moment I'm trying hard to get better at this!

control your strongest emotions? If it's absolutely imperative that I control them, I can. However if it's not... most people know that I'm an emotional being. :P

take care of children? Haha.... my babysitting stories/disasters go on and on... I like to think that I would be good at it now. :)

make a cup of coffee? I don't drink it, so I doubt that I make it well.

motivate yourself? Sometimes well, sometimes not.

organise? I love order. :)

make a deadline? Deadlines are of utmost importance to me. I can do deadlines.

make others feel comfortable? I would love my answer to be that I'm brilliant at this... but I'm not so sure.

wrap a gift? I think I do okay in the gift-wrapping department. And I love embellishing with lots of big bows!

dance? Ha. Ask my brother. :P Actually, don't. :P

swim? I can swim reasonably well. If I knew which way was 'up' and could swim 'up' when I was being dumped by a wave, I would say I was brilliant.

debate? Not well at all.

Can you tell that I can't sleep tonight?
