Looking in the mirror

I've asked myself the question 'Who are you?', and quite honestly I don't know where to begin. I think I'll list some attributes and see if they make sense.

I am musical and have ability in this field
I have a good intellect
I have a good knowledge of the history that interests me
I enjoy gardening and have a good knowledge of plants
I cook competently
I have a unique sense of humour
I smoke
I drink
I live by routines
I find everyday life challenging
I am not gregarious, although I love the company of people who matter to me
I don't like strangers coming too close
I am physically affected by loud noise
I don't suffer fools gladly
I am not confident
I am cack-handed and clumsy
I don't like my own company, but am beginning to feel more comfortable with myself
I am analytical and objective. I'm no good at subjective
I read prolifically, but never fiction
I am interested in very few things

When someone tells me that they are a plumber, a carpenter or a plasterer, for example, I am filled with admiration. I wish I could do something like that.

It seems odd that, given this bag of tricks, I have become surrounded by such wonderful people who have become my family and friends.
