There are three things I value about myself:
1. I can make people laugh. Not everyone all the time. But most of my friends and quite a few strangers. When it counts. And sometimes when it doesn't. Because unexpected hilarity is often the best kind.
2. I take good photos. I hesitated a moment before typing "good". But, actually, sometimes I get lucky. I have been to a couple of weddings where the couple ended up using my photos instead of (or as well as) the professional photos. The grad student who just had a baby changed her profile pic to one of the photos I took in the hospital. And she said another one that I took in the hospital made some of her husband's family cry. That's good enough for me.
3. I'm decent with Excel. This may sound ridiculous but I can colour-code spreadsheets like a maniac on the floor...
Ya, it's definitely time for bed.

Your blog cracks me up! I can so see being your friend. You are just as geeky and random as I am!
Excel is a great mystery to me. I bow and doff my hat to you.
Asshat, is there anything else you would like to doff for me?
I'm sure you've heard of Shakespeare's Excel formula:
=OR (B2, NOT (B2))
Of course, that's not a question. That's a tautology.
But cereally folks, I think it's great that you know how to make people laugh, and then you take pictures that make people cry. The fact that you can take *baby pictures* that make people cry is AWESOME.
[I was going to post a comment about how you must have many more than three things that you value about yourself, but I just got carried away. I'll try harder to be serious next time.]
unexpected hilarity is a serious skill!!!
Excel is wonderful, and the colours just make all the pain that goes into it pretty...
