>: shape shifting

I think im the world’s biggest chameleon, at least at times.
Sort of a reverse chameleon, kinda, well anyway, the reason is, unlike a chameleon
which changes its colour to match that of its surroundings so that it can feel
more comfortable and secure in that environment, I tend to colour change and
shape shift so as to make my environment and those around it more comfortable
with me.



I think I could make almost anyone comfortable with me (well except maybe a
white supremacist, that ones a tough one...). Sometimes the skill comes in
handy when it comes to negotiating in situations where diplomacy is of the
essence, being able to shift around greatly increases my ability to employ tact
in these situations. For one thing, in able to use the ability properly, I need
to know what to change into before I change, this intrinsically necessitates careful
analysis of the environment, a skill I have been honing for quite some time
now. I analyze and I analyze fast... lots of subtle cues tell me a whole lot
about my surroundings and those in. It’s often not quite necessary for me to
see things happening, I make inferences and have on many occasions been proved
right. I take pleasure in making the inference then not telling anyone and
watching as the true slowly appears to the less observant.



Its not entirely a good thing though, with the power of diplomacy comes a
serious side effect that I will call jellyfishisis, a grave condition characterized
by lack of backbone and/or concrete resolve. Not to be confused with lack of will,
and ability to deliver. I am wroth to break a promise that I make, when it is
made to someone other than me. You can take a promise that I make to you to the
bank. Promises to myself on the other hand are often not worth the paper they
are written. Hence my total inability to maintain a regular exercise schedule,
time table or properly execute any other task that would involve extended
periods of self regulation.



Anyway it is an ability that I have just the same and I am going to make the
most of it whilst I have it, I hope God shows me why he gave it to me.
