What things are you good at?

What's the ability that you're most proud of?

The only restiction is that you've had to practice/invest yourself to get good at it.

Examples: Dancing, writing (novels, poems, etc), singing, marathon running, weight-lifting, fencing, playing an instrument, speed-typing, high-skill video gaming, origami folding from memory, martial arts, target-shooting, high-skill cooking, skate-/snowboarding, rock climbing, billards, ping pong, darts.

I'm a pretty good cook And people say I write good poetry

Also I like to think I have good insight into things. I can see a situation from an angle that most people can't.

For example I can see the character James Bond not as a "hero" but as the sociopathic villain he truly is.

I can feel sympathy for the "henchmen" who get killed by the heroes in action movies because I get the feeling that the majority of them are not really evil and are following orders either because they are desperate for money or because they are forced into it and fear for their own lives.

When it comes to any war I hold sympathy for the defeated side because there is no true "good" side or "evil" side in any war. The winning side always believes that they are the good guys and anything cruel and evil that they did to POWs and civilians on the defeated side gets swept under the rug as they record all the bad s**t that the enemy did and they never let them forget it.

Probably drawing...

Howling and meowing.

Hmm... budgeting? I wouldn't say I excel at it, but I'd consider myself pretty good with how small income I can handle my life with. What makes me even more proud about it is that I suck at math.
As for anything else... can't really think of anything. There are few more things I could probably say I'm good at, but I've been told that I'm a natural when it comes to those things, so they don't count here I suppose.

I'm actually pretty good with practical math and arithmetic----but pretty lousy with abstract math like algebra and "higher" mathematics.

I wish I was a genius (sigh)……

When I was growing up, I believe I would have kicked the football that Lucy was offering Charlie Brown every time. I would have fallen after trying to kick the ball. But I wouldn't have learned from that mistake.

I am good at repairing things, a good skill to have when you own your own home.

Beyond anything related to literature, I'm good at:

- Writing (primarily academics, but also poetry)
- Math (arithmetic, algebra, trig, geometry, calculus -- just not spatial or 3D work)
- Art especially sketching or pottery
- Cooking
- Baking
- Knitting
- Animal care
- Remembering details, long term memory
- Making connections (synaesthesia)
- Genealogy (Look out, World! Isabella is getting new software! You may not see me again!)

Recognizing "genius" in others while not being a "genius" himself.

Also this is a very useless talent but I can quote every scene of The Golden Girls almost word-to-word.

Many people like "The Golden Girls." They can come for you for recollections of some of the witty sayings the girls produced.

I used to like "Good Times." With J. J. Evans.

I can't quote any of these shows word-for-word, though.

I can quote a lot of Six Feet Under, and most of The Flintstones. I used to use Flintstones words/ sound effects for much of my echolalia while I was younger.
