I am pretty good at picking up musical instruments and playing them. I can also draw stuff. I am a good amateur photographer. I cook a lot and can be relied on to present a good meal. I am well on my way to mastering the english language.

I am also a rookie time traveller- though I have only time travelled once before, I'll count it as a talent as it's pretty impressive.

Savage Clone 09.07.2007 09:09 PM

Rock
Sarcasm
Lifting and moving very heavy things
Putting on the occasional event and not going in the hole
Writing (highly debatable)

pbradley 09.07.2007 09:12 PM

tons of useless boy scouting knowledge
guitar/bass playing
insightful (vague, I know, but I'm known to raise interesting points in my philosophy classes)
good at debating/argumentation
decent photographer although I haven't done it in years

Procrastinating, missing opportunities, and self-delusion are the top three, followed far behind by typing skills, an affiinity for animals, and knowing more than most people my age about the popularity resurgence of the long-player record.

A woman who can fix shit? I'm down on bended knee.

Cantankerous 09.07.2007 09:36 PM

i'm very good at fixing things. i don't know why. once i read my own palm and it said something about that due to the shape of my hand or something like that.

luxinterior 09.07.2007 09:46 PM

Painting
Being a bitch
Assembling the best Powerpoint presentations anyone has ever seen
Not cooking; getting other people to cook for me
Crossword puzzles

gmku 09.07.2007 09:53 PM

I like to think I can write, play guitar, and think critically, but I may be delusional about all that.

By the by, a local "alternative" newspaper is publishing my article on "the resurgent popularity" of the LP.

Cantankerous 09.07.2007 10:04 PM

that's excellent, congratulations!
i could never have anything published, i'm too shy and self critical to have my name attached to anything.

2. cooking (i'm a glutton)

4. pissing people off (you've all seen plenty)

I'm a good speler.

drrrtyboots 09.07.2007 10:22 PM

Correcting everyday grammar mistakes ("good" instead of "well", that one hurts), sarcasm, writing to some extent.

I make a pretty mean omlette as well, western specifically.

All writers feel that way. Or at least many do. It's part of it--you always see ways you could have done it better after it's in print.

If anyone here's a natural writer, you are.

no. if i met you in person i would be at a loss for words. for a while at least. when i first meet anyone it's incredibly awkward and i become very soft spoken and don't say much at all. however around people i know well it's totally different, i'll be very loud and talkative.

well i'm working on it as we speak and so far i really do like the rhythm guitar track and the vocals. it's acoustic because i don't want to piss my mom off and wake her up but i'm doing these little guitar parts in the background and i'm going to put overdrive on it.
