I have worked in a technical support role for several industries and love the problem-solving aspects of my work as well as helping clients maximize their productivity.

A life-long curiosity drives my interests ranging from creative writing, photo-editing, music, problem-solving puzzles such as sudoku, cooking and baking, all types of crafting, sewing and yarn arts, creative resources on the internet and learning new apps for my favorite toy...my iPhone.

16h	comment	Is “a future musician” okay to say? @BillFranke, I get teased a lot for my philosophies but I'm eternally optimistic that a person can aspire to whatever they want to be. If selling the idea to one's subconscience by calling yourself a musician, for example, I say, go for it! :-)
22h	comment	Is “a future musician” okay to say? +1 for "infantilizing". I totally agree!
23h	comment	Is “a future musician” okay to say? @TrevorD, ok, I concede that having to take a curriculum-required 6-week module of gymnastics in high school does not give me carte blanche to call myself a "gymnast". :-)
1d	comment	Is “a future musician” okay to say? @TrevorD - Nonsense to your "nonsense!" lol! Someone playing sports in school is an athlete. Given - an amateur athlete, but still an athlete! Also, for the record, a singer doesn't need to know how to read music to be a musician - or even a professional musician. Pavorati, it's said, did not read music but you can not argue that he was a professional opera singer with a stellar career. What's missing is the distinction between amateur and professional (profession) and good or bad (profession). Really, unless a certificate or degree is required, there's no reason the title can't be used.

1d	comment	Is “a future musician” okay to say? @BillFranke, sorry to disagree with you but regardless of your degree of ability, if you can sing or play an instrument, you can call yourself a musician, IMO. What would be more precise, would be for you to call yourself a lousy musician. . . though I doubt that's true! :-)

1d	comment	Is there a word for selecting yourself as the target audience for an invention or product? @Sam, just thinking outside the box here. "Self-help" does not need to be solely for personal problems and you don't know from the OP's context whether the problem that requires an "invention" is of a personal nature or not. Did he get "help"? Yes. Did he provide the "help" him"self"? Yes. There ya go! :-)
2d	comment	A pejorative term for “unreasonably gregarious” @starwed. Great! Another perfectly good phrase usurped by FaceBook and the like! grrr! ;-)
2d	comment	“Make easy” vs. “make it easy” Do you mean the methods of Spanish cooking? Otherwise, I'm confused before you get to the "makes easy"/"makes it easy" part.

2d	comment	Is there a word for selecting yourself as the target audience for an invention or product? @Jerry, Yeah, I'm sure those don't write themselves. "Autoerotic" is another one. Darn! :-)
