Kickass things that I am proud to be very good at
FIBER ARTS (knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, friendship bracelets, you name it)
Handmade books
Mix CDs
Grilled cheese sandwiches
Organizing my worldly possessions, although it follows a logical algorithm that makes sense only to me
Getting crying patients to stop crying (this is easily my favorite part of EMT work so far)

Useless and/or maladaptive things that I am good...
Origami
Hoarding
Self-sabotage
Exquisite tongue dexterity (thanks, teenage speech therapy!)
Procrastination (aren’t we all, though?)
Hiding things from myself
Becoming furious when I suddenly need the things I hid, but can’t find them
Fugues
