What are your hidden or not so hidden talents?

I can lick my elbow, which is supposedly impossible.

Not very useful.

I can make funny fart sounds with only my 2 hands :D

I can change the sound of my voice as a free action.

i can bring 'em to their knees with my smile :D

I can dislocate my knee......well, it's more of a nuisance than anything, but I do it often!

I can solve a Rubik's cube but it takes me about 2 1/2 minutes.

uh.......

hmm....

I can dislocate my thumb and bend it behind my first knuckle.......

I don't really think I have any talents :(

hey now, that Rubik's cube thing is nothing to snub at, I think that's cool!


(I've tried to master that little bitch for years.............well, not really years, after like five minutes i get bored and move on to something else, lol)

My imaginary friends tell me I'm a genius.

My imaginary friends tell me that your imaginary friends are correct :p

I can do that too. I can also roll my tongue, but i can roll it in 3 instead of 1 'tube' (next to each other, when you look at it from the front it somewhat looks like: uUu). I also could tie a knot in a cherry stem, but I think I couldn't do it now, I need some training.

Other than that I'm pretty smart, but i compensate that with my laziness.

pfff, I feel mediocre now.

I just learned my husband's solution, it's not like I figured it out or anything I just did the moves he said to, it's getting fast that's difficult.

I can, if I for some reason want to, suck on my toes.... Never do it. It's ... Let's keep it to that I never want to do it;)

meh, I still think that counts as you solving it. It's a better solution than just ripping the stickers off and putting them back on in order! :p

Hmmmmmmm


well, that's not so much a talent as it is how well do you suck on your toes? That's what I'm interested in ;)

What are your hidden or not so hidden talents?

I can do pretty good impersonations (Australian, Marvin the Robot, anda few others) but that's my only good talent. My other talent is screwing up.

i can kinda sing heavy-metal-growl style, but only when i'm on my own (in the bath....)

i can also hear really quiet things, like the hum of electricity in the plug of my lamp, or through my amplifier when it was turned off

congratulations, your talent is a diagnosed medical condition called ADHD :p

Hmmmmmmm

oooOOOooo... thats a secret, for only special people to know;)

I can clap using one hand over 200 times in a minute.

all it took was dedicated practice over the summer.

congratulations, your talent is a diagnosed medical condition called ADHD :p

lol... its kinda annoying (i don't have anything like ADHD though) - i had to get rid of lamp after lamp in my room because they were "too loud", and i get so easily distracted its not funny. its really bad for me to sit facing the window in a restaurant, as i won't pay attention to my (lovely, gorgeous) girlfriend, instead being distracted by all the movement going on behind her :(
in exam halls back at school, i had a real hard time concentrating on the exam largely because i could hear the pen scratching of all the people around me, their breathing, little coughs, rustling of their clothes or paper as they moved.... grrr...

i am distracto-man! :D

...............but..............

<_<

>_>

.............i'm special!

is that really a symptom of adhd? because i also hear stuff that doesn't bother other people. like the high noises televisions make, or the sound my laptop screen makes when i scroll down and stuff. lately I'm finding it also very difficult to stay focused on something that doesn't interest me, like school lately, but I can follow a movie I want to see. I don't think I'm very hyperactive though, maybe sometimes, but mostly I'm just lazy or tired.

huh, that's interesting


i'm the exact same way, the slightest noises are actually very loud and distracting to me

and if you flash anything shiny at me, forget it, i'm long gone in a trance lol

yeah, it is a condition of adhd, but it's different than just "i'm getting bored now"

it's a constant struggle to try and focus in on things, no matter what they are and no matter how interested you are in them. And the harder you try to focus, the more distracted you get because all your attention is focused on trying to pay attention, and then you lose track of what you're supposed to be paying attention to because you're too busy trying to pay attention.

it makes me dizzzy sometimes lol

I can say all 50 states in 30 seconds.

And I can write backwards, da Vinci style. Except not left-handed and not in old Italian. But I can do it. *nod*

I find people are quite malleable (generally speaking). I find it to be quite a useful talent, however it doesn't always work in my favour unfortuantly as there are some who are more manipulative than I am, and I never realize it until too late.

next all you need to do is do them in order backwards.

you're the kind of person that refers to people as "my little playthings," aren't you?

The better solution is to take it apart and reassemble it in the correct pattern. If you take the stickers off, eventually they won't stick to the cube anymore.

Not that uh, I've done that before. :cool:

true, but it wasn't mine so it's all good :D

One of my not so hidden talents is that I am just amazing at pogo sticking! I can pogo stick no handed down a set of stairs!

oh that sucks. Maybe I'm just very easily bored ;). I should really find a way to start paying attention to my studies again though. I estimate that half the time I spend 'studying' goes to thinking about other stuff (it doesn't matter about what, it can be anything).
It's probably because I had to redo 2 exams which I didn't do good the first time because they bored me and stuff. Meh, I'll probably fail tomorrow too.

what subjects are your exams over?

I can convert numbers from 0 up to 4095 to binary in my head quickly. The way back works also fast if I see the numbers.

that sounds pretty dangerous actually. Are they spiral staircases?

what subjects are your exams over?

biochemistry and molecular biology / genetics. It's all quite interesting the first time you hear it ("wow, stuff works THAT way") but after that it just boils down to learning enzymes by heart. And i had to redo both exams because I had a 3/20 for biochemistry (ok, I just didn't learn it good) but I had a 9/20 for the other one, which sucks. It also causes me to underestimate it and stuff. Anyway, I'm happy that it will be all over tomorrow (until I have to redo them again of course :rolleyes:).

oh........


i was gonna help you out, but uh, i'm no expert in biology :(

what would you have done if it was something you knew a lot about?

you're the kind of person that refers to people as "my little playthings," aren't you?

What are you trying to say, that they're not?

One of my not so hidden talents is that I am just amazing at pogo sticking! I can pogo stick no handed down a set of stairs!

That is freakin amazing, I'd like to see it.

I can mudsurf. :)

what would you have done if it was something you knew a lot about?

I would have given you some study tips, that work really well for me, but they're really only specifically oriented to certian subjects, I don't know enough about biology or biochemistry to be able to successfully convert the tips into something that would be useful to you

However, if you're ever studying history or governments or philosophy (etc), I can help! lol

What are you trying to say, that they're not?

Oh, by all means, they most certianly are!



I just find it hot when people say "my little playthings"


it's arousing..............i mean, it's neat

actually that are the other things I wanted to study, but i chose medicine. Maybe I should stop and start studying history, because that always was my first choice (until i started considering what I could actually do with the studies). but history probably also has some very uninteresting classes.

but history probably also has some very uninteresting classes.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!! :eek:


well, i actually find the art history classes kinda dull...........though I always can't stop myself from giggling everytime I see Michelangelo's David

:)

well yeah, a friend of mine also does history and he has to talk about the colors of a black and white copy of a painting on his exams, stuff like that would really get on my nerves. And learning archeological sites by heart doesn't really sound very attractive either.

I'm glad we agree, I love little playthings too, I can see myself using that phrase, it just kind of rolls off the tongue.

Nah, concrete ones.

I'm glad we agree, I love little playthings too, I can see myself using that phrase, it just kind of rolls off the tongue.

yes, yes it does


but never let them hear you say it, or they'll start to suspect something's amiss...............

yeah, that kind of tedious information bothers me too


i mean, i do appreciate the meaning behind paintings and such, and it is kinda cool to see some of the parallels depicted about the paintings and their time periods, but it gets kinda ridiculous with some of the stuff they try and teach as fact instead of "possibly"

yes, yes it does


but never let them hear you say it, or they'll start to suspect something's amiss...............

But its so much better when they know and can't / don't do anything about it.
Every now and then a little slip just serves to keep em guessing.

I can wiggle my nose : ]

I can fly and browse NSG with my tail.

I have a talent for doing the wrong thing and making the wrong decisions. I can do this with a speed that's nothing short of amazing.

I can type and browse the World Wide Web. Keep in mind, I do not have a computer, which is what makes it so remarkable.

I can tell if somebody got laid that day. You know, if I see them in person.

I can sing alright, and I can guess fairly accurately the age of babies.

Oh also I forgot, I am great at helping people with their profiles on OkCupid. I have a pretty high success rate so far. www.okcupid.com Let me know if you'd like help. :)
