Post your deficiencies
I could never hula hoop
My Math skills are prehistoric
I invented procrastination
When I was single, I was the guy who never called
I'm allergic to neatness
I spill my life story to strangers all the time
For me, it's always open season for snacks on your desk

1. Mine:
I hate housekeeping - my dust-bunnies are becoming dust-cattle.
It takes me a month to even begin to consider procrastinating.
I don't understand electricity.
Something about driving a car cuts my temper fuse to 1/64th of an inch.
My handwriting sucks.
My cats are impressed with my ability to do nothing for long stretches.
I own more books than I could ever hope to read.
I know next-to-nothing about football - even less about basketball.

Let's see...

I can't whistle.
I don't eat my vegetables.
I was utterly defeated by physics as a pre-med.
I inherited weak teeth that break easily.
My eyes are too small.

6. I am so skilled at the art of
love that my partners are no good for any work the next day.

I am so well endowed that, by the sixth or seventh bout of the evening, my mademoiselle is too sore to continue.

I am so full of it that I can't believe that you believed that, if you did.

I am a pathological p-taker, however, so maybe it really is true. :D

I'm not telling...but, I mean, just look at me and you'll know the truth:



Yeah, I gotcha testosterone right here...

8. I feel like the worst person in the world sometimes
My house is a total mess. I have to get better at that before I have children so they don't get taken away by child services.
I am directionly challeneged and will get lost on the way to someplace that I've been to several times but never have driven to.
I learned to drive only a few years ago and am still nervous about it.
I'm a hypochondriac who is afraid to go to the doctor.
On a related note, I pass out sometimes when having blood taken.
I'm oblivious to a lot of things until they hit me in the head hard.
I always feel like an outsider.
I'm overly empathetic but find that I often can't help anyway.
I blame myself for anything and everything that I am remotely involved with.
I'm stuborn.
I have anxiety that I can't just turn off.
I'm a perfectionist who can't meet her own standards, both achievement oriented stuff and ethically.
Fear has stopped me from being everything that I could be.

9. Wellllll,
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 12:01 AM by asthmaticeog
I think I'm a workaholic, and a lot of the time, I care too much. And I have a real problem with politeness: I can't stop being perfectly cordial at all times. And I suspect I'm far too likeable. Plus, my incredible physical attractiveness often causes people to take me non-seriously.

On edit: Also, I post when drunk.

10. I can't throw a Frisbee!
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 12:24 AM by Cybergata
People have tried to teach me....People who claimed they could teach anyone...and even they gave up. I just can't throw a Frisbee.

In the summer I'm worthless because I become addicted to playing on my computer. I stay hidden in my house during the summer and forget to brush my hair or take a bath. My husband doesn't even notice, but then, he is exactly like me in all the respects I mentioned. He can throw a Frisbee though.

I drive too fast.

I'm dyslexic, which can be a short coming, but my students often have a great time laughing at the way I mix up letters and words, so other than my years of struggling to deal with it, at least I entertain people with it. In fact when I spell checked this I spelled dyslexic, dsylexic, of was that slydexic!

I always am late paying bills.

I have a hard time NOT being late.

I hate getting up in the morning.

I can't force myself into bed before 12 am, even during the school year. In the summer I often stay up until 4 am.

I hide from the world.

I almost forgot...I'm a slob...believe me you don't want to know just how bad a slob both my husband and I are. We are trying to clean up our act!

12. jukes
is offensively honest in communication.

is arrogant, but w/ some justification.

gets too focused on projects & neglects others.

takes unnecessarily dangerous risks.

always wants to fix everything.

never backs down when he thinks he's right, even if the battle is clearly lost.

is unemployable for all of the above.

posts way to often in "kewlsp33k" & annoys the pedantics.


oh, & pisses almost everyone off sooner or later.

13. LOL.... those aren't deficiencies...
In fact... they all look like positive attributes, except the unemployable part. I could almost post the same list myself.
