I...

have beaten every song in the Guitar Hero series (most with 5 stars), not including Jordan, DLC, or songs on the non-mainstream titles.

can do every 9-foot song and a few 10-foot songs on DDR.

play cello and piano, which, despite far more effort than the above 2, isn't quite as well received among most social circles outside of my immediate family.

am taking a maximum courseload at the university going for a double major and a minor, which is all just lead-in into grad school anyway.

cannot sing.

The .600 nitro express would like a word with you, along with a host of other handguns.

I... learn to do stuff really fast. I mean, it took me two days to learn to use an arc welder all alone, and I can adapt to new videogame controllers in just a couple of minutes. Usually, when I'm presented with a machine of unknown purpose and operation, it takes just a few seconds for me to figure out how to turn it on and use it. The downside is that I take much, much longer to get GOOD at doing stuff. I take ages to discover the tricks and technics of using things.


Also, I can lure dogs quite easily. Usually, when I go out for a walk, lots of dogs start following me, but then lots of insects start following the dogs, and the insects start flying around me, and it makes a mess of everything.

I'm a talented marksman when it comes to target practice. Back when i went to target pratice with rifles, i made quite rapid progress, which i learned of when one of the trainers (the people who are employed and teach people and stuff) pulled me aside one day, shortly before i left for the day, and showed me my progress, as well as congratulating me.

I'm also pretty good when it comes to computers and games, having played PC since an age of 3, and also due to me having a father who is quite experienced with computers and hardware.

Apart from those "positive" talents, i also have an uncanny ability to inevitably whack anything near myself with a flailing arm or leg, particularily when i'm gesturing something. It's mostly small things that get knocked over and away, but i've also frequently smacked my hand into a door or a wardrobe. Which kinda hurts.

Also, 80% of the time when i'm supposed to keep watching something for something cool that is about to happen, i look away at the exact moment that the cool thing happens.

I'm very good at visualizing things in my head, once in maths we were doing the quadratic formula and the teacher asked a few of us a question and I paused for a couple of seconds and worked it all out and said the answer, then the teacher dismissed it and guys laughed at me thinking I was shouting out a random number and when he went through it all on the board lo and behold I had gotten the right answer... I was gutted that I was dismissed like that... AND that's why I didn't take maths at a higher level and hate maths, thanks a lot you bastards. :/

I think in pictures/imagery and noises. I remember words by how they are said and if they are spelled differently then I remember it as a bunch of phonetic words e.g: good ol' jim carey made me remember how to spell beautiful "bee""ay""you""tiff""ull", of course the bad thing about this is that no one teaches it like that so I'm quite bad at spelling :/

also I draw, paint, sculpt, animate etc with a variety of methods and mediums, have learned guitar and IMO am decent at picking up and playing a tune on any instrument, can code in C++ and could probably learn any scripting language and I suppose I'm a decent gamer (I guess that's a talent).... also I'm EXTREMELY talented at procrastinating :cry: I suppose they're talent no matter what level I am at them, but I'm not trying to say I'm good at everything here.

First of all it was only two other class mates who were involved in the little discussion with the teacher and I was only annoyed by the fact that he didn't think that I could do it in my head like that, which is insulting my intelligence. Secondly I got an A grade for it and just because I'm good at it doesn't mean I LIKED it, so why should I pursue it at a higher level? ...I was exaggerating on the "that's why I hate maths" it's not really why I hate maths at all, I hate maths for the having to write out your workings out and formulas, for not applying the logic to real life situations, because a large percent of it is statistical bull♥♥♥♥ crap which only actually works in large scales and people actually use it on small scale stuff in conversation and I hate it for the constant drawing of graphs (worst bit IMO, I'm a perfectionist and spend ages just drawing the axis even now I'm alaways the last person to finish drawing up graphs).

This thread is so full of downs, I swear.

Most of the "talents" here aren't talents. Learn to be special.

Rofl that looks exactly like me if you remove the marksman part. I never fired a gun or anything, well water pistols doesn't count right?

Also I'm pretty good at photoshop and illustrator and almost anything that can be used on a computer, as long as its behind a monitor I'll be good at it.

I've played expert for so long that I had forgotted that GH had any other difficulties.

I can do Through the Fire and Flames on expert most of the time, but have yet to beat it on hard, if only because the notes change so dang much and I've spent so much time getting used to it.
