I'm such a hack at everything.

Nonsense. I genuinely look forward to your cgi, and admire your talent. And you know more about animals (particularly bats) than anyone else I know. You have a host of other talents, too.

So, yeah, while I've felt that way sometimes, too, you could say I disagree.

*hugs*

I sympathize with the feeling while respectfully disagreeing with the purported statement of fact.

No you are a JOAT.

Synonyms (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=amateur), (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=dilettante), (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=dabbler), (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=tyro+)mean a person who follows a pursuit without attaining proficiency or professional status. (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=amateur+)often applies to one practicing an art without mastery of its essentials <a painting obviously done by an amateur>; in sports it may also suggest not so much lack of skill but avoidance of direct remuneration <remained an amateur despite lucrative offers>. (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=dilettante+)may apply to the lover of an art rather than its skilled practitioner but usually implies elegant trifling in the arts and an absence of serious commitment <had no patience for dilettantes>. (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=dabbler+)suggests desultory habits of work and lack of persistence <a dabbler who started novels but never finished them>. (http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=tyro+)implies inexperience often combined with audacity with resulting crudeness or blundering <shows talent but is still a mere tyro>.

I prefer the terms amateur or dilettante, myself. Hack, for me, has a different meaning altogether.

And anyway, I know of dozens of bats, a puggle, and two GOODDOGS who would completely disagree with that assessment of your skills.

bullshit.

I can think of more than a dozen bats who owe their lives to you, and any number of small animals, people who find excitement and joy in your writing and in your art.

You are not a hack

[weyrdbird.livejournal.com]

No you're not.

You have two dogs, a puggle, and a score of bats who would probably thank you if they knew how to.
And a talent for writing and artistic rendering.
And being extremely silly:)! The rehabilitation of animals is no easy business, even small ones.
Hang in There!

It's just a general depression brought on by not being able to complete anything anf the pressures of uni, and the feeling that I will fail Java programming AGAIN.

How to stay young?

I'm 41, I look 24. My friends think I have A Painting.

Re:

[level-head.livejournal.com]

That's something of a Grey area. ];-)

But what is clear is that staying "young" is related to staying happy.

It was this wish that I sent in your direction, my friend.

Yes, and it's bloody disgusting too.
