I know someone talented

[Nuzzolese]

My mom can spell everything. She just knows how to spell and she remembers it. She destroys anyone at scrabble.

My older brother remembers everything that he's ever read or heard, he remembers everything I've ever read! Last fall we were hiking through the woods, and he pulled off a piece of bark that was peeling from a tree and in a little voice said "this bark tastes bitter!" Which was a line from a Rainbow Brite listen-and-read book that I had as a kid and hadn't seen for years, and had totally forgotten about.

My younger brother is like a super athletic gymnast. He can watch someone do a flip, and he can do it perfectly.

My boyfriend can hear any song and learn to play it in under 5 minutes, just from listening.


Who impresses you?

[kaiser soze]

my mom can crochet in her sleep ( makes blankets like they're going out of style!)

my dad is a history buff and found tons of information on two of my great grandfathers from the civil war

my sister got a 4.0 last semester (on top of working her ass off/family/fun)

My mom can catch ANYTHING you toss to her. it used to be a running thing between her and my dad. he'd call to her, and she'd look over and a millisecond later he'd toss her a tissue. and before you knew it her hand would go SNATCH and it'd be gone. it was like a chameleon flicking its tongue. she was that good. her progressive lenses have made it hard for her to judge distance now, though, so she's not as good anymore. but it's amazing when she does.

my boyfriend has the best sense of direction of anyone i've ever met. i think he's part goose. i think this impresses me so much because i have a HORRIBLE sense of direction and am constantly getting lost.

my brother's best friend can pick up anything within 15 minutes. seriously. surfing, anything. and he'll be way better than anyone else doing it.

my little sister can put her hand on a table and turn her arm around almost 360 degrees. it's creepy.

i had three good friends in high school that all taught themselves to blow spit bubbles (gross, i know) and were all able to blow them out their mouths and catch them on their tongues without popping them. i still think that's fucking incredible.


i can make a really good omlette.

I can look at the contents of the toilet before I flush it, and match it to a pantone chart from memory.

This mornings was 469 C.

Even though my aunt is a prostitute, drug addict, dropped out in Junior High, and basically fucked up, she can play the piano REALLY good. She's seriously talented at it, too bad it's going to waste. She can also write very creative poems and play the guitar, she has nothing better to do I guess.

My dad is a talented multi-tasker. He had 2 jobs because my mom won't work, AND took college classes and got 100% on everything. He's just really intelligent I guess. He can also tell when anyone's lieing all the time, and nothing fuckin gets passed him. If I'm hiding something from him, sooner or later he'll find out no matter what so I best not do it. It's because he spies on me though, I'm seriously paranoid.

Me, I'm not that talented. I'm just one of them people that's pretty much ok at everything, which sucks to me. BUT I recently found out that I'm a fuckin amazing goalie. I always had really good reflexes, and no ball can get passed me. And you know how dudes throw really hard in handball like they're trying to kill me, or kick it in soccer (football)? Well they get all pissed off like "how the fuck can't I get it passed her!?" :D I'm so proud of myself, cuz I generally suck at sports.

My mom is the Macguyver of the kitchen. She's awesome at improvisational cooking and food rescue. It's not that the final product is outstanding - that's my dad's department - it's that it's amazing because of what she had to work with, or because of how she turns something around if it went wrong.


I saw this one episode of MacGuyver where he was taken in and nursed by an Amish community after a car accident that he had. Then some developers were planning to build a highway right through their town and they refused to move. Can you imagine the possibilities with MacGuyver in an Amish community! Only simple tools, maple sugar, rolled oats...

I can say the ABC's backwards, but it sorta loses its muster over the Interweb.

I can also pop my shoulder in and out of place. Hurts though.

[The Notorious LOL]

Liar.

I can do the splits.

[cosmo105]

i can execute a jumping spinning outside AND inside crescent kick. i used to be able to jump up and do it from a push-up position on the GROUND. that's fucking talent right there, bitches.

i can make a 3-d toilet out of needlepointing grids and yarn.

[Chicka B]

My friend Irina is a better snowboarder than I am and this is her first season. She's gone a grand total of 7 times and is faster than most of the guys on the mountain.
