Everybody has their talents. Everybody has their failings.
It's time to sincerely and honestly admit your failings. We will try to keep ridicule to a minimum.
I'll start. Here's 5 things I'm not good at:
1) I'm not good at handling money. I couldn't save a dime without the help of my wife.
2) I'm not a particularly eloquent writer. I tend to slip into simple sentences with poor grammatical structure.
3) My neurosurgery skills are not up to snuff.
4) Counting. :D

1) Initiative
2) Too much booze
3) Licking my elbow
4) Growing a moustache
5) Playing drums
Complex equations. I suck at it because I hate it... worse than doing dishes.
Working as a "team". I'd rather do it myself, even if that means increasing my workload.
Dealing with weepy women. I'll do whatever it takes to shut them up.
Shopping for Christmas shit. I just want to buy the first thing I see, wrap it in a paper bag and write a name on it. I don't, but I want to.
1) I suck at math. Really, really suck. As in, I have difficulty subtracting without using my fingers, and I often embarrass myself when I draw a blank counting change.
2) I can not picture things in my head in the sense of seeing how something should go together, and then doing it. I'm not sure what that's called...my husband, father, brothers, mother-in-law and niece all have this ability.
3) I have no sense of direction in the city. Drop me in the wilderness, and I'm fine. Put me in walls and I suddenly have no idea where north is.
4) I'm not good at dealing with conflict in a sane way. I'm really, really trying, but I tend to let things simmer, and explode, because I hate getting emotional. Make sense to you? Yeah. It's stupid. I avoid the mild discomfort of discussing something that is distressing me, in favour of absolutely losing my mind and breaking down all of a sudden.
Christ...stereotypical woman or what?
Dealing with weepy women. I'll do whatever it takes to shut them up.
Sex works best for that.

1) Women aren't a homogenous group. You will never understand 'woman'. You may understand some women though.
2) When a woman ASKS you to 'take advantage' of her, she actually just means that you've been given permission to go buck wild. Being given permission does not mean really 'taking advantage'.
3) If I know that your way of dealing with crying women is to sleep with them, then by deliberately crying with the intent to get you to bang me, is sort of 'taking advantage' of you.

1. Math. math is the product of satan. I can barely add and subtract...let alone figure out what the hell a derivitive is.
2. relationships. More starting them. I don't always realize when someone likes me, and am horrible at taking that first step.
3. driving at or below the speed limit. If i'm going less than 10 miles over, I'm going to slow
4. baseball. I've gotten better at football (american). Hockey, I'm great at. Snowboarding, skiing, check.Baseball? I completely suck. And honestly, I hate the sport. Alot.
5. not doing things to hurt my knees. I have patellal tendonitis, which means I should let them rest and not do things with high impact. Yet I continue to run, and do all the stuff above. Which explains why there is a knee brace and ice pack on it right now.
3) I have no sense of direction in the city. Drop me in the wilderness, and I'm fine. Put me in walls and I suddenly have no idea where north is.

1) Sports - of any kind. I'm just not physically very graceful or agile or, well, stable on my own feet. Even just in normal walking, my ankles have this weird habit of just sliding to the side and falling out from under me.
2) Spatial awareness. I can't visualize things very well without my hands. I can't do the "You're facing north, you turn left, you turn right, you turn left, you make a 180 degree turn, what direction are you facing?" thing without drawing it out or actually turning my fingers to figure it out.
3) Drawing. I suck at drawing. I find it difficult to draw a straight line - with a ruler!
4) Handwriting. I have awful handwriting, always have. I blame it on the fact that I broke my wrist during 3rd grade - the last year they grade you on handwriting, but I think I would've ended up with bad handwriting one way or another.
5) Cleaning. Can't stand doing it, and only do a good job when I get frustrated by the mess and just have to clean everything. This doesn't happen very often.
6) I have no sense of direction. None. Even if the sun is out, it takes me 5 minutes to figure out which direction is which. And if it's around noon, there's no way I'm figuring it out.
There's more, but I have to go eat gumbo now.
1) I horribly over/underestimate my abilities.
2) Analyzing literature.
3) Fashion.
4) Waking up in the morning and falling asleep at a reasonable time.
5) Reading. I am quite quick at reading, I just add/change/omit words.

Things that I, nearly perfect and all-round otherworldly guy that I am, aren't perfect at:
1) Simple math. I can do calculus easy and breeze right through upper math, the stuff at lower levels trips me up, though, because it is impossible to pay attention and not fall asleep.
2) I'm not so good at face-to-face dealings with other people. This may seem hard to believe, but IRL I come across as 1/2 the funny and twice the asshole. Not to mention the fact that when you are face-to-face with someone and they drive you to violence you can actually try to stab them.
3) Keeping Calm. My sanity exists on the razors edge most times, and under stress it can fray at the edges, especially when I start mixing my metaphors. The worst recent example being a mental break-down during one of my finals last week. I couldn't stop laughing and don't even remember what I wrote for the last half of the damned thing.

1) Self-discipline. Don't have it. No time-management skills, hate cleaning my apartment, Grand Mistress of All-Around Procrastination. That's the one that's messing up my life the most.
2) Debating. I used to be good, but then I just... lost .. all ability to make and defend an argument. These days, I'll get all emotional and polemic. Gah. Does keep me out of most of the threads here, though, so maybe that's a good thing for everybody involved.
3) Interacting with kids. I don't exactly hate them, I'm just not very good with them. I think they know.
4) Saying no. I have serious doormat issues.
5) My tolerance for stupidity is very, very low. If I don't have to deal with the respective person for too long or too often, it's okay. But in an acquaintance or, even worse, a co-worker? Not good. Not good at all
6) I post for shit in English. Always sound like a terribly stuck-up bitch.

And I hate people trying to get inside my head. I spent the first 10 years of school (K-9) with those fuckers trying to figure me out (I remember at least 3 times my Kindergarten teacher tried to convince everyone around me I was crazy.

Thinking of names.

Everybody has their talents. Everybody has their failings.
It's time to sincerely and honestly admit your failings. We will try to keep ridicule to a minimum.
I'll start. Here's 5 things I'm not good at:
1) I'm not good at handling money. I couldn't save a dime without the help of my wife.
2) I'm not a particularly eloquent writer. I tend to slip into simple sentences with poor grammatical structure.
3) My neurosurgery skills are not up to snuff.
4) Counting. :D
I'm not good at:
1. Getting to the point in a fashion that suits the attention span of my audience.
2. Grasping and holding objects successfully.
3. Remembering names and acronyms.
4. Feeling sorry for people who continue to do stupid things while expecting a different result for the exact same circumstances.
5. Employable skills, for the most part.
EDIT: I think 5 can be translated as well through the idea that i'm very discriminating as to whom i take orders from.

I have that problem, too. It's really bad when I see somone I recognize and I try to call out to them, but all I can say is, "Hey, You!"

I have figured out a solution for this problem. Instead of "Hey, You;" "Hey, Dude;" "Hey, Mush" use "Hey." [/smartass]

I'm not good at caring about others, or having a "heart".
The important thing is, are you good with a grapefruit?
*drip, drip*
1) Starting things. I tend to procrastinate and waste time... like on NS...
2) Finishing things. The problem with starting things doesn't apply to creative things. I have no problem beginning a whole lot of them, and never finishing them...
3) Things that involve fine hand-eye co-ordination. I have a tremor. That rules out surgery as a specialty. *phew*
4) Singing.
5) Thinking of things to fill up lists. ;)

1. Performing. Whether it's to one person or a crowd, I hate any thing where people are all paying attention to me and judging my performance. I don't mind it as much with intellectual things - I'm okay with public debates.
2. Self-control. My characteristics always go to extremes and I have a hard time balancing them out.
3. Sport. I'm awful at sport- I have very little co-ordination when it comes to big things i.e. I'm fine with hand/eye co-ordination when it comes to sewing or drawing but I cannot for the life of me keep up a rally in badminton or tennis
4. Following intuition. When I try and logic my way out of things, I can always see both sides too clearly and just end up twisting the logic. My intuition about decisions is nearly always right yet I doubt it.
5. Getting stuff done. I am an awful procrastinator and if I can get away with just not doing anything at all, I will.
6. Social situations. I'm fine with people I know and I can be fine with new people, but when I don't have anything to talk about I don't see any reason to talk and that causes problems. I'm also someone who doesn't mind silence that much, but it makes others uncomfortable. I'm happy just "being" with people.
I could probably go on for a while. I'm quite aware of my flaws, and actually, right now, quite accepting of them.

Well,
1. I Procrastinate to the Extreme. I am a student and wait till their are literally hours left to write and hand in an essay.
2. My Empathy levels are subpar at best. I have little tolerance for people who live in a society as great as ours and stil manage to be poor. More empathetic to those who can't help their situation such as in most other places in the world.
3. According to most people on this forum, I have the mental illness called being a Conservative Christian and proud of it.
4. I hate Communism with a passion equal to that of 1000 suns going Supernova at once. Anyways, to go along with that here is a true story. I was at University having lunch with a friend. When a guy from our History class came up to our table and decided to join us I didn't know him my friend did. In the course of the conversation he told me that he was a Communist. At this Junction my friend said "Uh-Oh" and I being an all around Commie Hater just started laying into this guy. To be fair he did put up a good fight but, by the end of the "conversation" he was crying. Yes, I am not joking he was crying. Somehow my family heard this story and I will never live it down. I get things like so made any communists cry today and other such remarks on a regular basis.
5. I have kind of a harsh personality if I don't like you as you may have seen in my last statement.
6. Also to go along with the above. I have Rage issues. I am a Volcano waiting to explode.
7. I also have this problem of Mumbling when I talk sometimes. It causes me to have to repeat myself often.
Well, I have bared my soul for all to see.

I think he was probably an emotional person but I have no way of knowing for sure, I never saw him again.

I'm rather intrigued as to how spirometry works now...:confused:
Why, it's the measure of infamous Vice Presidents in administrations where the President were FULLY impeached.
Also, they end up going on the road on a quasi-lecture circuit that comes available in 8-track. And, is very funny, btw.
