Been using computers from at least 5 years of age, so as expected I'm as good with computers as a person should be from at least 1995.

Playing guitar for over 3 years now, practicing from a decent amount of time to a lot of time during the week. Can't say I suck.

Improv comedy. I wouldn't say I'm a professional, but I've gotten paid for it before.

Oh god I would love to see you do stand up.

Surprisingly, I'm not very good at stand up comedy, at least when I've tried. Who knows, though. It has been a few years.
What about writing Cracked articles?

I've thought about it. My biggest problems with that are finding the inspiration for ideas, and doing it on any sort of a schedule. I'm happy with posting here because I can hop on, see if anything strikes my fancy, and post at my leisure. There's nothing forcing me to turn in ten posts that garner  :lol replies by Thursday, or else my account is deleted.

Plus, there's the research, which I hate, and nobody wants to read a Cracked list about the eight coolest things learned in Bill Bryson's latest book, which is the closest I'd get to researching anything not involving professional wrestling or the English language. I'm sure you can see how those topics would wear thin.

Besides, they already have Seanbaby. What else could I add?

probably thinking objectively...but other than that nothing special.

err well i mean actually attempting to think as objectively as possible, removing myself from ulterior motive/bias as much as I possibly can (although I agree it's ultimately impossible)

I used to be good at hockey, then I dislocated my shoulder three times and cracked a vertebre in my neck, so now I'm just average.

I'm good at golf, but I turned down scholarship opportunities which I now regret because I have no idea what the hell to do with my life.

I'm pretty good at one-liners and having funny arguments with people.

And this is maybe weird, but I can cut grass so damn straight it's not normal, that is why I work at golf courses.

And things I suck at:
-studying/school--just can't do it
-I can be kind of lazy
-keeping things in order

I am the master of sleeping. Nobody can go as catatonic as me, and for details ask FadetoblackDude7.
According to my friends on campus, one time I was sleeping on the top bunk in my dorm room. They tried slapping me, shaking me, yelling as me, and I wouldn't wake up. Then they pulled me from the top bunk and let me hit the floor head first. I still did not wake up. Then they poured water on my face, and I finally woke up...with a massive headache.

My other talents are
Drawing
Painting
Belly-dancing (not so much now cause I'm out of practice)
Long-Division
Alphabetizing anything

I'm alright at guitar, but not great.
I'm nasty at most video games I play.
I'm really good at customer service (yet socially awkward).
Can't think of anything else right now.

OK that's not normal, but I bow to your sleeping skills  :hefdaddy

Most of my talents center around my memory.

- I can remember numbers with ease, it's great when purchasing stuff online and not having to grab your card.
- I'm great at being able to recite things I've learned years ago, hell I can even remember trivial conversations.
- I can drive someplace and then forever remember how to get there.

Besides all of that, I can cook really well.

Hmm......maybe a few. I'd say;

Strategical thinking: Well, Im sort of a 'big picture guy' as they say. I prefer looking at the over-arching theme than just the details. Consequently I guess I'm pretty good at strategy games  :lol
Introspection: People would call me a loner, or cold/distant. Rather I just like thinking to myself. It's nothing hateful or malevolent...I don't mind talking to people at all if they approach me. I'm also pretty humble I must say. I don't talk about my achievements to anyone really (high test scores, sports awards etc) and I prefer to present a honest imagine instead of being cocky or boastful, as I really dislike those qualities in others.
General open-mindedness: Well, I prefer not to judge, until I have the full story. Because i've only found that judging early results simply in misconception or stereotypes. New theories and ideas should be thoroughly examined before being 'dismissed'


oh you wanted practical talents...I guess good hand-eye coordination...reading & writing fast.....that's about it.
on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.

I'm also really good at walking around silently. More times than not I scare people when I say Hi to them. They don't hear me behind them, and then they freak out.

It's pretty cool, I'm a great listener because of it.

There are some strange things that I can't recall if my life depended on it, for example I'm fluent in Lithuanian which is my native language except I can't remember my left and right, I even wrote the words on my hands once to remember but I still confuse them.

I like to think I'm pretty good at guitar. I've also been playing trumpet for about 7 years, and I'm always improving in that department.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot that I would consider especially impressive. I knew the 50 states and their capitals when I was 2 years old, but that's obviously not cool anymore since I am no longer a baby. :p

I'm quite good at debating
I'm very good at writing essays when I put effort into it, I got several first grade classifications for pieces of work at uni and that's not particularly easy in an arts subject
I'm pretty good at cooking vegan food... nothing really fancy but I'm definitely capable and can produce awesome tasty meals
I'm good at being non-judgmental and empathetic towards pretty much almost anybody, sounds hazy but you'd be surprised at how few people can go into a prison and do voluntary work with some serious criminals without letting it get in the way, or tell their mum they don't want them to commit suicide but if they want to do it they shouldn't feel guilty because I respect her own decisions... I'm good at getting people to open up about their feelings to me.

I can do the water drop sound that Cameron makes in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I'm also good at remembering lines of movie dialogue and song lyrics and introducing them into everyday conversation at opportune times.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
