    Top Talents game

    We're having fun with the weird things game, so how about this: name your top 3 talents. As per usual, I'll start.
    1. I can pull together the most random ingredients in the kitchen and make something good.
    2. I can figure out how to make stuff in general, rather than buy it. I have been manufacturing makeup and skincare for myself for a couple of years.
    3. I'm known for witty one-liners. My best friend will laugh so hard that she'll pee a little.

    1. Face to face I can 'read' people and tell what emotion they are having, even when the people closest to them have no clue, and they are hiding it.
    2. People naturally trust me when they meet me, does that count as a 'talent'?
    3. I can back down SC's with just a look, or at least the even partially sane ones.
    Engaged to the amazing Marmalady. She is my Silver Dragon, shining as bright as the sun. I her Black Dragon (though good honestly), dark as night..fierce and strong.

      1. I'm good at jury-rigging solutions to problems (when I'm not too busy stressing out over them). I think this extends to my ability to teach myself how to do certain projects just by studying others' results and reading the occasional tutorial.

      2. I have a natural talent for art that I've worked painstakingly to improve upon. Now this talent funds my video game habit.

      3. I can fake a cheerful attitude no matter how bad my day. I can be in the middle of a screaming argument with one of my sisters or my husband (though the screamers are rare) and then immediately turn around and answer the phone with a perky-happy tone that hides the fact I was just arguing or upset. I used this when in retail as well, to present a cheerful front to my customers no matter how bad my day was going. Thank goodness for breakrooms where I could drop the mask for a while.

      does that count as a 'talent'?
      I got to teach a lesson on talents last month in church. Short answer: yes.

        1 - I'm a mummy. Not the Egyptian type or the annoying type, the type that people instinctively trust. I'm the listener/comforter/protector/problem-solver/cheerer-upper, even to people older that are than my parents.

        2 - I plant things and they grow.

        3 - I help people articulate their feelings and work through their problems logically, even when they can't fully express why they're upset.

          Mishi..people have called me 'Father' (like a priest, even though I am not one) so I know what you mean lol.

            1. I'm very good with my hands. Not in *that* way, you perverts That is, I can fix or build just about anything. See what happens when you give a child a crapload of Legos?

            2. I seem to have a knack for coming up with interesting model projects. For example, I thought that a V10-powered Dodge D50 would be pretty cool. Then I went ahead an did it. I had the spare kits lying around...so why not

            3. I find other ways to do something, using parts or materials that nobody would think of. Such as...one of the valves in my MGB's windshield-wiper jet system...was originally sold for fish tanks

              1. Making Moon Unit get the hell out of the backroom while we're unloading a truck.

              2. Shaking exactly 2 aspirin out of a bottle. Most of the time.

              3. My impeccable sense of humor. I totally made my supervisor do a spit take today.

                1) I can eat with my feet

                2) I can easily get people to leave me alone just by acting like a dumb blonde at work

                3) I fart way too much

                  Blas, you can accomplish #2 by doing #1.

                    1) I can write I's and J's like Jack the Ripper.

                    2) I can sing--and I have a pretty extensive range. Now if I could only get over this stage fright...

                    3) I have a talent for writing poetry.

                      1) I can create epic fights using almost anything you might imagine. Fake ones of course.

                      2) I can quote pretty much the entire script for Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

                      3) I can come up with the perfect snarky comment...5 minutes after it's lost its punch.

                        -I can make random objects stack and stay stacked.
                        -I can drive anything with an engine. More importantly, i can back vehicles into spaces that will have maybe 1/4" clearance on each side, flawlessly.
                        -once in a while I will come up with an analogy, quip, random saying that will be remembered for years to come.
