Songwriting/poetry and parodies are under my belt....I tried guitar.......I have a drumset now, I'm not taking lessons cuz I figure I can teach myself, I have experience in percussion, but a drumset is different....I can do some stuff with the piano/keyboard too...

The thing is I have no patience AND I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, so that kind of screws me in the area of anything that takes too much effort. :P I despised my guitar for this reason and I'm having trouble with the drums. I'm also rarely satisfied with my songwriting (well, really I just write lyrics, I'm experimenting with writing riffs and stuff). And with the piano, I haven't taken the time/effort to learn how to play with two hands yet. ::)

I used to be able to make fart noises by pressing my hand to my ear in a certain fashion, but eventually the inner part of my ear started to HURT doing this, so I've given up on this talent.

Other than that, I'm not very special...heh.

2. Writing: I won an award for an essay I wrote. It involved chess and wrestling. I don't have time to explain, just go with it.

My anti talents

1. I can't roll up a sleeping bag very well. I don't understand why my parents just won't let me throw it in the back unrolled...

2. Emotions. Difficult to control. I take too much to heart and I get angry too easily.

3. I'm not good at getting into romantic relationships. Whenever I talk to a girl, by the end of the conversation, I'm the "good friend" that she'll wave to at the movies, but never... well, you know.

4. I'm lazy. I'm definately not the kid who is doing extra homework purely for the joy of learning.

5. I don't cope well when I feel everyone (or almost everyone) is against me. History class discussions about the Iraq war often left me and one girl to explain why it would be illegal. I didn't like it at all. Got called John Walker once. Not pleasant.

my anti talents are...

1.  I cant stay focused on stuff...taking a regents this year, I spent 20 minutes on one question, I found myself re-coiling the time me and my family went to Washington DC out of nowhere...I dont know how that even got into my head

2.  I cant sit through Ghandi...ever...way too boring of a movie

3.  Im way too loud...and often it's come with a price

4.  When Im told not to do something, I do it...I just cant help myself

5.  I cannot judge a good car if I see one

another talent of mine would be:

I can tell when someone is dis-interested in something...

for example, if Im talking to someone, I could tell rather I should keep talking, or rather I should stop because they dont care...

I can do it (usually) in under 10 seconds. ;)

AND, like CS, I am really good at doing laundry and not putting it away, until it's time to do it again and I have no baskets empty ;D

I'm also really good at directions when driving, can fix almost anything mechanical (except computers), can cook almost anything, and can multitask quite well (as a certain member knows ;)).

  I used to be a decent artist, sketching.  I rarely sketch anymore and have lost the knack.  I guess it isn't like riding a bike... :-/

  For the past decade I've been constructing 1st. century Roman military equipment as historically accurate as I can manage.  I use line drawings and photos of actual aritfacts and other reconstructions.  I've also helped a local Roman reconstruction group with some of their gear.

  My inspiration was Britain's own Ermine Street Guard.  Perhaps Philbo is familliar?

Hey, that is one of my talents, too.

Some things I want to add. I can draw trees-and they look pretty good if I say so myself. Anything else I draw is ok  :-/ but not great. But trees, that is my specialty.

I am also GREAT at procrastination. I was once going to take a course in it but I put it off. Procratination is deffinately my middle name.

I'm also really good at making a mess-but that really stems from talent of procrastination because I don't put things away.

As a famous computer once said "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that"

The metal point on that thing looks a bit too real for me... (when I fight, swords and spears are GRP and foam-padded; my arrows all have big foam heads.  A while back, I'd have added swordsman and archer to my list of talents but I've not lifted a sword for a few years now)
