Your special skills!

[McDuffies]

I can type in very small letters.

[Prettydragoon]

If only you could fire an assault rifle...

Firing an assault rifle is easy (heck, 5.56 NATO doesn't have much more kick than your average five year old, and it's a whole lot more predictable).

Hitting something, though, especially hitting your intended target, now that's the tricky part.

Ok, I'll be more specific next time. There's just something alluring about a woman that can hit a bullseye... though I probably wouldn't date one for obvious reasons...

Oh, as long as you're not standing behind (or in front of) the target, you are perfectly safe. At least from me.

Rubbish. You type normal sized and have it adjusted in post-production.

I'm okay with a squirt gun!

Nope. That's genuine small letters.

[BeefotronX]

In addition to my previous comment ...

-I have a very good memory, mostly containing useless info =P
-I'm very good at catching typos and spelling errors when I'm reading. While of course this happens more often with casual and amateur writing, I find mistakes in professional stuff surprisingly often.
-Dogs like me!
-I'm great at coming up with weird and awesome comic ideas. All the time I think of comics (usually related to jams) that I never get around to doing. I'm also writing 4 webcomics at the moment (the other 2 are works in progress).
-I'm good at multi-tasking in video games (a skill I learned from Warcraft 3).
-I can type (and write) very quickly, with the exception being for when it's for school =x

[Kisai]

Hmm let's see... this isn't going to be short.
eidetic memory - I can remember lots of things accurately... unless it's a math/chem/physics formula. On telephone calls, I'll sooner remember someones name 5 minutes later than a phone number 10 seconds ago. I can recall entire pieces of music, movies, books, etc. I tend to ruin peoples movie watching if I've seen it before. X_x

I've learned more by myself and the internet, than I ever have from school. I learned C, C++, Javascript, Perl, PHP, XML, XHTML, XSLT, OpenGL all in the last 5 years.

I'm very good at copying things (see eidetic memory), years after I've seen/heard it. Though just because I'm good at copying things, doesn't mean I'm good at actually reproducing it in the same medium. I can remember what something looks like, but hell if I could ever draw it. I remember what a song sounds like, but could not carry a tune to recite it.

I find patterns in chaos. At work I found that everyone with the name of A was sitting in the same row, and subsequently everyone with the name beginning with A quit and was replaced with... more people beginning with A.

I can read things backwards. Webcomics, books, magazines. For some reason I've always flipped to the back of books and flipped them forward, and yet still understand them.

I can read sheet music, yet I can't play any instrument with it, but I can play some pieces of music on a keyboard in any key, but only stuff I've heard. (I remember the reletive pitch of the keys.) In a simliar thought, I never remember the numbers to combination locks, just how far to turn the lock with my right hand.

I suck at sports and have been beaten by every piece of gym equipment that exists at high school, most to the face(softballs, feh.) My sister has the honor of being sent to the hospital for the same. So if you are ever wondering why I won't go outside, it's cause I fear stray projectiles. ^^

I exist in a weird clothing size that borders kids/teens/misses/petites, so most of my clothing has been modified at some point. I'm somewhere between 5'3.5" and 5'4.5" tall.

I know how to sew, with and without a sewing machine.
I know how to cook, yet I choose to microwave stuff.
I've made wood projects before, I'm allergic to sawdust.
I like to clean, I'm allergic to dust and mold.

I know a lot about buildings (civil engineering,) despite only taking one drafting course in high school. Enough that I can typically figure out a building design problem and thus not purchase/rent/invest in it.

I took geography in grade 12 because I needed an extra course, I aced it despite not really being interested in it. Yet I find practical use for it.

No matter where I go, people keep complimenting me on how smart I am, usually followed with "Why are YOU here?". I think I shock people when I say I never went to university.

I never had a speeding ticket, recieved a warning the last time. (Got hit by photo radar ONCE though, before it was scrapped.) I never had an accident untill late 2004 and then had two more, none of them damaging the car. (I hit a car, I hit a pole, and then I was rear ended(that one actually damaged the bumper in a way that i didn't notice and since CJ and I were flying out the next day, didn't want to bother with dealing with it.)

I've never been to the emergency room. I've never broken anything, though I did have that one time in grade... 6 where I was gushing blood from my forehead.

I'm now the second oldest "grandkid" to not be married on my fathers side, and first oldest "grandkid" to not be married on my mothers side... darn family subtle nudging.

I somehow, manage to only make friends with lesbians in real life. Strange. What's stranger still, is that pattern extends to my livejournal.

[Princess]

I can say things like:

"I would recommend increasing your fibre intake- this will soften your stools , then use this cream after moving your bowels" or

"What type of mucus are you coughing up- is it clear or yellow?"

at work all day long with a straight face and NO TITTERING AT ALL....and I'm the kind of person who laughs at the number 1 or 2 or the letter P.

[Blackaby]

I can eat two large pizzas + garlic bread + a bottle of coke within half an hour. Zwuh recently taught me how to chew food, but I'm not sure I'm terribly fond of the idea, because then it gets all slushy.

-Clumsy

[Dr Legostar]

okay, so a real list, besides the fact that I can swing dance very well, I can also do all sorts of other kinds of dancing, I play the piano, i am an accomplished cook, haven't done much baking yet, but it's going okay so far. I can do complex algebra in my head, i know tons of biology and chemistry and i'm a fairly accomplished molecular biologist. I'm good with card games, i'm also good at cheating at them, but those are seperate issues. I can build a patio. I'm also a fairly decent writer, though i have yet to actually publish anything that wasn't published in a scientific journal.

[Rock_dash]

My whining could power a small city.

Special skills, special skills...

I took a lot of ballet, tap, and jazz when I was growing up, but some people all ready know that.

I'm good at storing random knowledge, but I don't have a special area like music or history so it doesn't help me a whole lot.

This probably doesn't count as a skill, but I experience a moderate form of synaesthesia. I have the pretty common sound -> color form but sometimes the colors are in abstract shapes like waves and lines and things. I hear a sound and I perceive the colors for it in my mind, but unless I'm focusing on it, I tend to ignore it.. My first memories of synaesthesia are playing the lowest key on a piano and thinking it was muddy brownish purple (the sound of a piano is primarily purple for me).
