This may seem like a bit of an egotistical post, but it’s not meant to be. More a list of positive things about myself I can always rely on to make me realise I’m not a complete failure. Feel free to rip the idea for yourself.
1) I have an awesome immune system
2) I can manage on 2-4 hours’ sleep a night
3) I never get a hangover
4) I know what it is like to be completely, deeply and amazingly in love with someone. OK, it didn’t work out but I know what it felt like – so I know what I need to find again.
5) I have no problem coping with extremes of temperature and humidity
6) I very, very rarely get stressed about anything
7) I’m really good with kids of all ages
8) I’ve done so many things I never thought I would, so I have some excellent memories and stories
9) I have a very analytical/logical mind which goes well with most of the jobs I’ve ever had
10) My weight seems to be fairly stable so I can get away with eating loads of crap
All good points… my favourite is the way number 8 turned into a smiley!
ooooh this makes me feel very incompetent… but a good idea, I’ll think about a top 10 which would work for me. Enjoy yourself down there!
Great post – maybe I should do something similar when I’m down in the dumps.
I could have 4, 7 and 10 on my list.
Because you have 2 and 3 on your list, I hate you already! :-p
Jac – that 8=smiley thing annoys me! Wonder if there’s a way to fix it in WordPress?
Esther – on my way home shortly. 3 more days in Hanoi, 2 in Bangkok and I fly to London. Boo!
Weenie – I’ve relied on 2 and 3 a lot over the last 5-6 weeks. I discovered last night that I now also struggle to get drunk. Trust me, I tried. I could still pass every drunk test thrown at me.
I completely agree, Iain! You’re spot on. And that smiley face is well deserved.
Will try to pop up tomorrow, possibly with another visitor in tow. I also owe you guys about 1.5million dong from Leah’s mum. Couldn’t make it today as I’ve been fixing PCs since 10am!
