Useless

Well as things go, instead of working on my uni project, my thoughts drifted to things that showed just how deseprate I am to avoid finishing this stupid degree.

Still, shockingly enough I realized that I was pretty much useless as a person.
Let me correct that - useless as a person who doesn't live in a time where computers and technology are as important and omnipresent as today.

So try to follow my train of thought here... pretend with me that something like a nuclear war or something else altogether eradicates most of humanity (personally, I don't see this as a bad thing at all!). Of course I survive. And maybe some other poor souls who are stuck with me. And then continue to imagine that there is no internet, no computers that could in any way be useful, no phones, no technology. Basically, there's nothing left at which I am good or where I can prove useful.

A list of things I can't do (but would desperately need to in above situation):
- build shelter (involves using mathematical brain and other knowledge to make a good, long-lasting shelter - I don't have either)
- make a fire (when was the last time I tried to rub two stones together... ahm... oh yeah, NEVER!)
- somehow get food (from probably picking the poisonous mushrooms, to not having a clue how to fish or hunt, to being totally grossed out if I ever had to cut an animal open - I would have to depend on picking fruit/veggies where I'd be sure of what they were. Very unlikely in an extreme situation)
- defend myself or others (even if there were guns/weapons around, I do not ever see myself being able to use either in order to protect myself or others. I'm just chicken like that. I suppose I could always scream at the top of my lungs which might deafen the enemy...)

And there's more. I don't know how to paint a house, I don't know how to do anything electrical, I don't know anything about mechanical things like cars and other means of travel, I'm not good with animals (aka horses, cows and the likes), the list truly does go on and on.

So you see, make sure when the end of the world is approaching, don't be anywhere near me. All I'd end up being good for is eating me and even then, I'm sure I wouldn't taste that good - I'm mainly made of pure fat. You've been warned.

Right... well I'd say you'd certainly be able to defend yourself should somebody decide that they want to eat you ... LOLOLOLOL....! I can remember times when the threat "I'll get my older sister" worked very well to get people off my back ;-)
