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!
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 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 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.
NJ is also Orion's fiance of sexy passion with the love of a thousand sea monkeys
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.
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.

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.
