You could get into writing user guides and whatnot.

God knows we need better people who can document something in a human language.


Well, I've always had a knack for putting things in easier to understand terms. I hate it when things are over-complicated. It's part of the reason why I want to become a programming tutor.

I could certainly spit out a few books with ease on the subjects of specialist computing, general health and fitness, as well as bodybuilding. I'll stick with I.T to begin with, though, as I can turn it into a bit of a work project.

Probably could be a high tolerance. It's worst when I don't have a large amount of the stuff. Could be the opposite to you.


Well, that's possible. You can withdraw from caffeine, too. It takes me a couple of weeks to adjust if I change my dose. I couldn't get by without my coffee and green tea.

I've written guides in the past, and I find it a breeze compared to creative writing. I don't think my brain can handle creative writing right now.
I wish I could pen to paper better with my art. My brain creates beautiful things that my hands are not able to replicate.
Hopefully that tablet I bought with a digitizer stylus helps some with that; it for sure will help with kana and hangul.

If it helps, I only really started at 18 too, and, minus the every three month or so binge (that rarely left me intoxicated) I don't do it often either.

I have an artistic flare, but like many things my ability to focus my attention is a big limiting factor. There are times where I'll get hyper focussed and enter something similar to an obsession with a hobby or task, which allows me to accomplish a great volume of work, but it's not easy to get into. My biggest problem is the internet. I find it difficult to just switch it off and just get on with other things. I'd get so much done if I avoided it for a week.

I've got Sketchbook Pro with my tablet, and a stylus. I really should spend more time with it.

"Forging the future from the timeless stone
Oh let me know how far I can go
Answering the questions that no one ever asks
Float through the sea of madness
And face the everlasting task

So lonely to wander
So sad to be alone
In the mist of the unknown
Trying to fool myself with dreams that never come true
So hard to stand my ground
Never again will I fail

Will you tell me not to wait
Tell me to live for today

As the flowers wither
I will forget my pain
Since the stars have shone
The Devil has shown me the way"

That pisses me off. Especially when the person saying it knows I'm an atheist.

Unfortunately I have a deeply ingrained sense of moral decency. I feel terribly guilty if someone's buying me gifts to win me over, when I have no interest them. It makes me feel utterly horrible.
