So, most of us are artists and/or writers... but what else can you do?

I'm a paper and tape GOD. I can make most things out of a couple of a4 sheets and a couple of rolls of tape.
I'm an avid swimmer, and I can cover the 50m length in just under 30 seconds.
I have... 5 years of fencing training under my belt.
I can sing
And I'm a cook!

Right, what can YOU guys do?

Diddly squat.

I'm rather skillful at video games if anyone hasn't noticed.
I hate Napoleon Dynamite for this but... I've been training with the Bo Staff for 9 years? It may have been more.
I also fence, but Im not that big a fan of the sport. Too artificial.
I'm adapt in several sword disciplines. Why? Lightsabers. Not one period in my life when I wasn't holding one of those, or a cardboard tube attached to one via duct tape (Teh Tube Saber).
I'm also a student of History and Philosophyarr.

I'm quite good at keeping spoons on my nose.

I can groom Shetlies rather well. Only takes me about 90 mintues per dog, which is alright timing. Because of an accident I had my first time in a show ring, I refused to go back into the ring for 9 years. Over those 9 years, I got really good at chalking.

I can play music with almost any part of my body.

My degree is in physics and I work in an Atomic Force Microscopy lab.

I'm a brown belt in Judo (something I call "a practical course in the physics of moving bodies ).

One of my major "second hats" at work is programming.

Thanks to experience in autocross competition, I'm a pretty good at driving fast and twistey--right at the edges of traction.

I'm a reasonably competent shade-tree mechanic.

I am quite skilled at marching snare and multi-tenors (quads).

Pretty good at the drum kit. I used to be good at marimba, but haven't touched one since high school.

I cook and bake things from scratch

I've been told I have a nice singing voice by other singers. I hate my own voice though.

I can beat the original Metroid without the screw attack, varia, and long beam.

Well, there's this thing I do with my...no, no one wants to hear about that.

My girlfriend likes it when I...no, wait.

Once when I worked for the CIA I...hmmn.

I have a...

...

I guess I have a lot of talents. But the really interesting ones, I can't really talk about.

None of the above sentences were referring to anything sexual. I have a talent for making people think dirty.

I am apparently extraordinarily stable. I have been told this by my friends who take Judo and who enjoy sparring (note: I have not taken any Judo) and find it practically impossible to man-handle me. Of course I have no idea what I'm doing so I can't pin or disable them either so we just end up going back and forthun until exhaustion ends the match.

I have been told I'm an excellent RPG GM...


uuuuuh....lemme see...I have the ability to hear slightly higher freaquencies of sound than normal humans.

Wha... I uh-um, uh.

Art and writing is all I have!

Oh wait, no-no. I do acting and standup comedy. I like to think I'm good at it, since I've been doing classes for a while, but... Well I'm a bit out of practice.

Dispite having no training, I apparently take up a fighting stance when startled, which Kolter said was cool. =D

I'm a preofessional seamstress/dyer/milliner. Which basically means I can make you an outfit, dye it any color you want, and then make you a matching hat. I'm very adept at anything craft related, and I can cross stitch, knit, crochet, you name it. If they sell it at Michael's/A.C. Moore, I can do it.

I'm also a really good cook, and I can even make decorated cakes.

Singer, violin, voice acting... I guess that's it. I don't count video games as a skill.

I spent a good few minutes thinking about it, and I realized I really have nothing else to go on.

I'm pretty good at anything computer-y.

She makes good fish and chips too.

Me? Skills? Hahahahahahahah! Heeeh...

Shotguns >.>

Hey PAL, I want to hear you sing!

I also want Nanda's skills... or at least take advantage of them somehow.

Also, I don't have anything I'd call special skills really. Here's a few things I like doing and don't suck at, but I'm no professional at any of them:

• I'm a mediocre singer/songwriter/guitarplaying chick (yeah, cause none of you knew that already)
• I can analyze handwritings.
• I can play the piano a little.
• I'm not bad at cooking & baking.
• I'm fluent in three languages (German, Norwegian, English) and in addition I can translate Latin and Greek... in theory, I haven't gotten to practice the latter in a while. Hm. Anyway, I also just started learning Russian but I haven't gotten very far yet.
<strike>• I can make Cope cry...wait, that's not special.</strike>
• I can bend my fingers weirdly. Because of that, I give the best amateur face mask / massage treatment, according to my friends.
• I can reach things on high shelves because I'm tall, nyah!
• I'm also excellent at starting projects and then not follow them through!
• I can correctly cite phrases from a truckload of movies in German... and some in English, it depends.
• I used to be a good actor, but it's been a while.
• I'm good at picking up and memorizing texts, lyrics, stuff like that; my ability to remember things in general is very selective though.

And there's other things I'd rather not say.

I know how pull strings, i.e., pulling the cookout together. If you need something I'm usually know how to get it
