I wish I was better at...
What (if anything) do you wish you were better at?
Please post your choice since most options contain three choices.
Or suggest your own, not on the list.

Physics/Astronomy/Alchemy for me. I spent years with astronomy as a hobby and wanted to pursue it as a career. BUT....I did some hard soul searching before I entered college and realized that I didn't "speak math as a language." Nevertheless the beauty and symmetry of the cosmos moved me.
I was "better than average" at mathematics, but not good enough in my book to pursue Astronomy and Physics. I got a bit over my head with differential equations in my *freshman* college calculus class. That really drove the point home!
Sigh....I'm a qualitative person in a quantitative world. (hope that makes sense)

Aint it so! I must admit that this is the only forum where I've started being a consistant poster. Somehow y'all have something different here and it's a bit addictive.
BTW...for some reason, I whimped out already (long before finding this forum) on staying up late. I just can't do the really late nights anymore.
But I really long to see and Aurora Borealis. I've moved up to Northern Illinois and I've seen gorgeous photos of the aurora over Lake Superior which isnt' too far away. Someday I hope to head up into Canada, Alaska or maybe I'll luck out on a trip to Lake Superior....

Power of persuasion. You will see it IS useful.

Gotta agree with the "less sleep" thing. Seems like you need to edit the poll to add that option. Since we have to come up with 3 options for the line, I'd like to propose "less work" and "nanny for the kids" The theme would be..... I'd like to be better at...... real life things that intrude on my gaming time.

I'll go for magic and acrobatics. Would be great to cast magic spells and still be able to keep 4 balls up in the air

I voted Nothing/Other/Misc./This Poll sucks.
Mathmatics wasn't an option so I chose that one for the 'Other' option. It's your own fault that 'Other' is in the same option as 'This Poll sucks' Airk!

I voted to be better at the making of the romance, the pitching of the woo, etc., etc. I am apparently quite unaccomplished at this. Small children point and laugh at me as I walk down the street. Dogs pee on my leg in scorn. Women "befriend" me. Pigeons defecate on my car. Not that all of these things come from my terrible romantic skills, but I have a feeling that being better at this would help.
