What are you fluent in? What interests you? Can you be fluent in anything other than a language? What is your take on fluency?

I don’t claim fluency in anything.

Haha. That would have been quite the short post, wouldn’t it? Anyway, I really don’t claim fluency in anything. At one point I might have said I was fluent in blogging, but then I was overtaken by the wonderfully talented people who actually create blog templates. At another point, I might have said that I was fluent in fiction writing…but all my published writing is either non-fiction or poetry.

In the end, I think it all comes down to a matter of confidence. Oh, I can do plenty of things and most of them well, but I don’t hold nearly enough confidence in myself to claim that I’m fluent in anything. I don’t know when I would be satisfied that I had enough knowledge in any subject to claim fluency.

And I have had many interests over the years…

Paranormal activity, astrology, palmistry, fiction writing, psychology, body language, blogging, HTML, website building, poetry, Egyptian mythology, ancient history, biology (specifically plant life), powerpoint presentations, computer gaming, console gaming (everything from atari to PS2), scrapbooking, card making, stained glass windows and mirrors (using ‘paints’ rather than actual glass), a number of different religions and philosophies…

I think I’ll leave it off at that.

Fluency is a wonderful thing to have, if you have it in a subject/language/etc you are passionate about. However, I’ll take my bits and bobs from all places. I think it makes my background just a smidge more interesting.
