**Name your special talent!**

[tmonoxide]

Everybody has a hobby and something they're good at.

I do cartoon art.

There is a guy from my area who is a cartoonist; I went to one of his shows 6 1/2 years ago and I said, "this looks like fun; let me see if I can do it too."

They started out as little doodles; I'd put them in people's scrapbooks, etc.

It's become a full blown hobby now. In December I had my first one person art show; I had 35 works on display.

My favorite was a 1978 portable tv that I covered with tributes to 1970s commericals.

I also do cereal boxes and individual greeting cards for people's birthdays --- I don't send Christmas cards; instead, I do Valentine's Day cards. The masses get those instead.

I read really fast.

I type really fast.

I talk really fast.

I can sing.

I can draw/paint/sculpt.

And H says I'm one hell of a welder!

[imoan]

And tarpon... I want some pix!

[maucat]

Photography. I usually do landscape photography and have given framed photos as gifts. We also have some of my photos hanging up as wall art in the living room (stretch canvasses). People often are shocked that they're photos I've taken, not something done by a professional. I recently did photos for the kids at my work who are graduating. I'm definitely not a portrait photographer, but I did a pretty darn good job anyway.

Makeup is my other special talent. I considered opening up a side business but got a little freaked by what would be involved in making it a successful business. I still love doing people's makeup.

I do all sorts of needlework
I make the best sangria
I can drink a lot of tequila
I am a good fisherwoman
Calligraphy although I havent done it in years

[esdreturns]

I can read faster than anyone I know. I can also read upside, although not as fast as regular reading. I really don't have any cool talents lol.

[Deleted]

I'm a really good shot.
I always know song lyrics that no one else ever remembers.
I'm good at throwing meals together made out of whatevers in the fridge.
I can always find the perfect greeting card for any occasion.
Blowjobs.

[Deleted]

I am fantastic at all things kitchen. I do all of the large holiday meals in my family and I make all of our birthday cakes. Friends will actually request that I cook rather than us all go out to eat.

I can remember the name of characters in movies even if they're only mentioned once. I'll often refer to them by name and no one else knows who that person was.

I also have an alcohol tolerance like no one's business. A bottle of wine gets to me "really buzzed" territory. I'm not a large person by any means, but I am Czech and Irish.

[oodakay]

I'm a singer.

Also, I do cross stitching and have gotten pretty good at it.

[nerdicorn]

Is it bad that I don't feel particularly remarkable or special wrt to any of my pursuits, interests, or skills? lol

[fussbucket]

I can fit my entire fist in my mouth.

And also an entire harmonica enabling me to play all 10 holes at once.

[interro]

That's fantastic, tarpon!

I'm a writer, not a half bad one I think. And I can spell just about anything and read very fast.

I can fall asleep and take a quality nap anywhere, any time, no matter what's going on around me.

[Deleted]

I know I'm a newbie here, but this is a fun poll.

I sing and dance and have been paid to do both (not at the same time).

I can bake about anything including a citrus cheesecake that my co-workers from ten years ago still talk about

I share two talents with cuppincakes, the first being an ability to remember song lyrics.

[smock]

I'm really good at reading bad handwriting.

Also, I've been paid to be funny.

[laddie]

I remember random strings of numbers.
I can sew, crochet, knit, etc.
I'm good at putting together sounds systems and then running them for the show.
I ran 35mm film for 5 years. I kind of miss it actually.

[bowies]

I'm a good writer / editor. I started writing / publishing novellas and poetry when I was really young, but then I got lazy. Now I just edit other people's shit.

I have an insane memory. I balk at calling it photographic, but it's close. I can switch between the Chicago Manual of Style, the AP Stylebook, and the GPO Style Manual with little muss or fuss. I can also remember specifics from meetings that happened over a year ago, as well as the contents of a database we built. I'm convinced that this talent and the one above are what led me to be successful in my career. I've got everybody fooled that I actually know things. This talent is more of a liability in my personal life. Nobody wants to be reminded what they said, word for word, in an argument 5 years ago.

I can belch so loud that I rattle windowpanes.

[datsyuksmommy]

I bake and decorate cakes, but I have a very small kitchen so I have baking supplies everywhere.

[10nille]

I can whistle very LOUD. It has come in handy.

I'm kind of wishing you showed that one off at the GTG. lol

[gbck]

I'm JealousE of several of you.

I can play the accordion, ride a unicycle, and juggle poorly. (not all at the same time--one at a time)

Really.

I do really intricate doodles. I don't 'draw' per se, but I can make amazing 'doodles'.
ANd I have absolutely LOUSY penmanship, but I do fairly decent calligraphy. Go figure. (I draw a distinction between lettering and writing)

[DaisyCakes]

I'm a professional flute/saxophone/clarinet player and singer. I can also play just about any other wind or string instrument.
I'm good at drawing and painting and have a decent eye for photography.
I used to be a dancer.

I guess you can say I'm pretty artsy fartsy

[sweetd]

I'm pretty good in the kitchen. I love trying new things and impressing my family and co workers with my culinary skilz..

Sent from my PC36100 using ProBoards

[BlackCanary]

According to DH I make a really good gluten/dairy/wheat free lemon meringue pie.

[missyumi]

I can read really fast.
I have amazing penmanship either print or cursive and with that I can write in a straight line on no line paper.
I have a photogenic memory.
I can draw.
I can cook, bake, and make up recipes.
Also, I can belch like no other.

[bookbunny]

I'm a judgmental bastard and can make pretty accurate predictions about people when I first meet them.
I am the best procrastinator I know.
I always remember where we parked.
I can do the Molly Ringwald lipstick trick from The Breakfast Club... and I could tape all of your buns together.

[mortomo]

I can write my full name in cursive with both hands at the same time...forward with my left hand and backward with my right hand.

I'm really good at making desserts. When we have a food day at work or a family party to go to it's a given that I will bring some kind of dessert that I made. Cinnamon rolls from scratch and cheesecake are my two specialties.

I like to make greeting cards and have had people ask me to make a stash for them to have on hand. I like to rubber stamp, so most of them are rubber stamped and have other embellishments on them.

I'm also really good at calligraphy and have been asked to hand address wedding invitations for people.

[starrieskies]

I can sing. I used to sing competitively, but haven't done that in years.

I LOVE to bake, and I'm pretty good at it too.

I have an incredible memory, especially for numbers, which comes in really handy at work.

And I have really nice handwriting. Not quite calligraphy, but still very pretty.

[kmw325i]

I make delicious cakes, even though I hate baking. I also never said they were pretty. But they TASTE good.

I have been paid to sing karaoke.

I can dial every single one of our employees phone numbers without looking at a phone list.

I also share a talent with SCC.

I've recently learned to change my kid's diaper while he's trying to crawl away.

Maybe next time. I like to give the impression that I'm a lady for at least the first meeting.

[gault]

I can sing really well. I sight-read music like a motherfucker and have almost perfect pitch.

I can read super fast, but also have a shitty memory. So I tend to re-read books all the time and pick up/remember new bits of information each time. lol. It's my own special reading comprehensionland.

I'm also double-jointed/hyperextended in several places. It's fun to scare people.
