Some folks have a mechanical aptitude, and some don’t. It’s mot big deal (but having it is handy). For a long time I didn’t know I had any aptitude for drawing. I’m still not sure how much I have because I really have to work at making an acceptable image. I did learn that its not related to the mechanical aptitude (hand eye coordination) rather, its developing the ability to see things. If I can see it I can draw it. This is also why I don’t claim to be an artist, a real artist can draw things s/he doesn’t see. They can draw from their mind.

The segregation of my aptitudes between my male and female sides is how I see it, not necessarily how it is. All I know is that there are really two sides of me and I am working to keep them in harmony.

There is two sides of me too. Keeping them in harmony well, my female side is showing more and more for everyone to see. Not just the way I look, the way I am dressed but also the way I think and feel, the way I do things.
For example, why can´t I park my car the way I used too do. I think I am the same but I am not.
Told you I haven´t been good at mechanical or technical things, never have been and now well I am useless.
Have to tell you one thing happened to me.
One morning coming to the office my secretary asked me for help her lamp on hers table wasn´t working. She asked me if I could help her changing the light bulb. She coulden´t.
Ofcourse I would help her. I had a look but to be honest with you, I coulden´t do it. I coulden´t figured out how to get to the lamp bulb to have it changed.
Ofcourse I had changed lamp bulbs before, but this. I coulden´t do it and neither could she. We tried, I treid, she treid. We was laughing. We both could see, we both understood, we had to remove a few parts to get to the lamp bulb.
We both could see, well we had to have a screwdriver to remove those parts. Looking for one, founding one.
Now the next problem. Trying remove the screw well I coulden´t and neither could she.
Having long finger nails trying doing this wasn´t the best thing to have. We simply gave up.
Looking to each others, laughing. My secretary said to me; "you´re a bit like me, you´re a bit like us girls".
What could I said, yes she was right. I was like her, I was feel like her too, I guess. We both laughing me telling her;yes I guess you´re right about that".
We gave up. We had to ask the guys helping us.
I remember me asking my partner Michael to help us and I remeber I was thinking, clicking my way to his office in my short skirt and my high heel, hope he don´t laughing at me.

Feeling a bit stupid, asking for help. Feeling both stupid and a bit helpless, vaulnurable too.
Ofcourse he laughed, ofcourse he would help me. It didn´t took him long time to change it; "Once you have the right tools, ladies".

Well I have to accept this. I have to have a bit of help with things like this. Its not just that I can´t do it physicly my mind too have changed. I´m not thinking or seeing things the way I need to too fixing things like this.

On the other hand, the female side of me well I´m feeling more comfortable with my female side.
I can cook, I can bake, I can iron clothes, I can sew. I think its fun doing and reading about home decoration.
Its seems I am better doing things like this now.

Well thats me.

Yes, I noticed the similarity to Erica, too. Perhaps all Swedes writing in English have a similar style, but Erica is a little more fluent. (For those who haven't read her stories, Erica has a gaggle of friends and family who all seem to be changing from male to female and wearing stilettos etc. Funny that - must be something potent in the Carlsberg ...)

Maybe we'll never know.
