OK, i can't really think of one thing I find hard to describe. I find it hard to describe a lot of things, events, situations and people. i feel I have always been this way. I am not sure why.
If I am asked to do a presentation in front of a lot of people, I feel proud that I have been asked. However, I am also very nervous; not nervous cos of speaking in front of a whole lot of people, but nervous simply cos i know I will stutter and stammer, and make myself sound really bad. I had this theory that I do this, not because I am short of what to say, but because I, more often than not, have too much to say, but my brain works a lot faster than my mouth. In other words, I have the speech in my head, but my brain is prob about three or more sentences past where my mouth is. I feel that if my mouth was able to speak directly when my brain is thinking the thought, I'd be a lot better off.
I am told that I am not as bad as I think with it. I will not stop feeling self-conscious, hence ashamed of myself, and that I let everyone down.
I have always wanted to do some sort of a MainMenu review for ACB Radio however, I also have the problem where I am not sure what to describe about a particular program or thing.
My theory again is that people have a gift for giving the exact information others need, or they simply don't.
I do have quite a few friends who have made a living (or part of it) out of reviewing programs and products, and I admire them. they are so precise. I wish I could do it.
I take after my Mum though. she admits that she can't teach me anything; O&M wise, cooking, anything, because she simply doesn't know what to tell me, and, in the case of cooking, I'd be so slow, that she'd be tempted to just come and do the task for me.
On the other hand, Dad is excellent at the task of showing routes to me and describing how things work etc etc. He's always been that way.
My Nan is another one I have been able to rely on for O&M sorta things. she's a natural at it!
til next time, RdFreak
P.S I like these writing tasks, as this is something that's been bothering me for sometime, but i hadn't mentioned it in my LJ.
