I'm good at video games...ALL video games. My friends call me the game genie. I also tear up on the basketball court and I can cook a mean four cheese lasagna of hamburger helper. Ladies are in line right now. I also know Latin and I'm not too shabby at Risk or chess.

I'm good at arriving really late to forums I should have signed up for years ago. I am aslo good at coming up with ideas for stories and games, but I'm definitely not good at executing them.

This makes three of us.
My other talent: as a result of my son's allergies to milk and gluten (wheat, oats, barley, rye) I'm very good at, as my son says, "making cookies with NO ingredients".

I'm good at walking without being heard and seeing without being seen.
Seriously, it happens all the time. I have a naturally light step, so I'm always startling people when they look up and realize I'm right there. I never think I'm sneaking up on them; I just think I'm walking over to them. I always know when someone is coming up to me, so I just kind of assume they know when I'm coming as well.
So either I'm good at walking quietly, or they're just really unobservant. If the latter, then what I'm good at is knowing what's happening around me even when I'm actively involved in doing something. It's one of the two. Posts: 1814 | Registered: Jul 2004

Ok here we go. I am a walking encyclopedia, for some reason i know allot of useless facts, in allot of different fields.
Another thing i am good at is going native i have the uncanny ability to go into and be easily accepted by a different cultural group.

I'm good at ticking people off. Especially when it comes to politics.
Or maybe that's because I'm a middle-of-the-road gal, and most people on a university campus are left to far left (with the occasional person who's so far left that middle-of-the-road looks like right-wing nut job... but there aren't terribly many of those).

Just as you, I am a walking encyclopedia, both the pop culture version, and just everyday stuff. Again, like you I am easily accepted by most any group I come in contact with.
The most impresive however is....ba-dadada....I can play dead surprisingly well.
Seriously though, I am a bit of a freak, I can walk on my ankles, like roll onto the outside of my feet and walk. I even made someone throw up when I did it. <grin>

I'm a halfway decent drawer. Draw-er. Drawing... cupboard?
Anyway, I joined up on Elfwood and they finally have some of my pictures up, they're actually related to OSC's Ender series (A couple of IF Cruisers and a Lustinan colonist.) I have a bunch more that I'm gonna put up, but you can only submit them every so many days. Next time I'll upload more than just four.
Here's a link: ta da! ... like I said, I'm not THAT great, so don't make too much fun.

I have written five books, play tennis, have a sick knowledge of music theory, can solve a rubik's cube in 32 seconds, am a mormon, and am somehow related to Orson Scott Card on my dad's side. My dad's mom's maiden name is Card.

I'm good at non-intentionally, yet constantly confusing people into thinking I'm in a certain political party because I like tofu, love nature, wear birkenstock, prefer herbal remedies and have long crimped hair.
According to the ideals of my political party, I should be saying that John Wayne is my hero- ah well.

Ok.. summarizing these post; Tom is smart and no one likes it: However, give me a few hours and I'll pwn him: Actually, Tom, I thought you ran windows not linux! Got r00t?
What I'm good at, I'm Atlas, I carry the weight of the world and never seem to drop the ball-although I'd like to just to watch it all crumble into a million pieces! *insert; /evil sinister laughter*

I write music and such on the piano. Right now I am learning to run along walls, although it's a lot harder than it looks.

Well, I was the fastest girl on my high school swim team for a while. I'm a walking, talking, grammar nazi (people don't usually let me read their stuff for fear of the red pen). I'm a pretty good artist and writer (or so people tell me).

I can tap dance. Which is amazing because I have no rhythm and I'm easily distracted. And because I didn't start til I was 17 so I'm not someone whose parents put them in a studio at age 3.
I am a mean cookie-cake icer. I've even done portraits in icing. It started when my friends in high school threw a Smallville season premiere party and I decided to put Clark Kent's face on a chocolate chip cookie cake. I have NO artistic skill, but this I can do.

I remember lyrics, lines, and poetry extraordinarily well; I have Richard III's "Now is the winter of our discontent", Hamlet's "To be or not to be", Sonnet 130, and most of Poe's "The Raven" down by heart, as well as numerous songs.
Theoretically, I can disarm and subdue an attacker with a knife, gun, or rifle at close range, and break the arm of an attacker trying to choke me in three places. With luck, I shall never have to.
I make very good gnocchi, splendid felafel, and minestrone good enough that it convinced my wife to marry me.
I come up with situationally appropriate quotes that no one can place at the drop of a hat.

Procrastinating.
Go see Serenity.
I'm good at coming up with a joke five months in planning just to advertise a movie I couldn't wait for, and no one realizing it.

How can you be good at all of those? It seems that each would undermine your ability to do any of the others well.
Explain it logically, taking my emotions into account, and I'll let you off on making me a mint juleps (though if you manage to do that and I enjoy it, I'll give you bonus points).
