Is there something you like to do...

Or learning languages.

I love studying languages, but nobody will ever mistake me for anything other than a native English speaker. As a Canadian, I had to study French during my school years, but our French classes were badly organized. Nowadays language classes emphasize grammar and spelling, yes, but also conversational skills. Back in my day, all we did was memorize verbs and their tenses and then regurgitate them as required on tests.

I can't see where to stick the hook, so I end up increasing on accident.

Why I have six kids?

Carpentry. I enjoy making and building things, but I'm not very good with wood. Mostly, the stuff I turn out is serviceable, but it ain't pretty. I think my inclination to over-engineer fastenings and joins also works against me. Glue? Nah. Glue plus screws must be ever so much more secure, right? Right?

You know, carpentry is something I've always wanted to learn (because, ya know, I'm so great at other crafts ...) It's not a particularly good hobby for apartment dwellers, though.

I'd like to succeed at something important.

That's an intriguingly brief response. Do you have something specific in mind?

It can be...do like I did. Write to your city officials about them starting up a MakerSpace where you live. Here in my town in Texas, though I live in a house, I wrote to the mayor about starting a local MakerSpace. She wrote me back telling me she thought it was a great idea, and she even got the arts commission and the city commission (like a city council) involved, so it seems they're at least looking into it. A guy I know lives about an hour or so from me, and he has one where he lives. He goes there quite frequently.

I don't know if they're going to do feasibility studies or what, but I'm hoping they move forward with it.

Love to play the piano.I can sit down and go plink plink with one hand and occasionally something recognizable emerges...but to just be able to ay 'Ah yes,Symphony #4' and whizz your hands up and down keyboard...wow

I enjoy playing the piano although it's been years since I've even touched a keyboard. I don't think I was ever all that good, but it was still fun. I'm with you ,Blue Ginger, on keeping the beat.
When I was growing up, I would peek at everyone else and try to follow what they were doing if we had to clap in time to the music.

I'm sure you've touched a keyboard very recently - unless you're posting from a touch-screen device.

I'd still like to hear you play.

Paint, but I really don't have that artistic hand. I have tried several times but it still doesn't work.

Failure to compute...these do not agree with each other

I love to draw, too. I can draw a serviceable cartoon/anime face, but I can't draw bodies. I would love to be able to draw the costumes and RPG characters that are in my mind, so I can share them with other people.

I'm pretty good at sewing (just the other day, I finished a tunic to wear to work), but I'd like to be able to draw what I'm going to make so people can see what I'm working on.

gardening and outdoor stuff.

I used to love going outside and had a veggie garden for many years and now it's hard to make the time to go out and babysit the plants and pick the veggies.

So many things but the most? It's a tie between being witty and singing. I'm meh at both but if I were excellent at them, that'd make my life! XD
