The sports I think I'm best at would have to be hockey (not ice) and football. They're the sports I've played most often, and the ones I enjoy the most. I don't have any special talents or anything, though.

Hockey > football > all other sports.

Any sport I feel I can do well at would be fun for me.

Except for volleyball and possibly baseball. Volleyball is the worst, suckiest, most boring sport EVER. It just plain sucks.

I suck at sports.

I always have been. Hiryuu might of been the guy picked last but I was the guy never picked at all.


I have the drawing "gift" according to my uncle (whos a pretty damn good artist) and alot of the art students. I can take shit and draw it like it should be, I just don't have the talent to make it look good (Make any sense?).

I also been told a few times by my teacher I write the best history essay's out of all of his students (which is like 30). I also been told by all my teachers in english I write a good opinion paper....

That shouldn't mean much since I failed Freshman english 4 times now....


I guess my only talent is. I'm creative and If i care about something, I can write an decent paper on it.

I guess I'm just going to post the talents besides extra curricular activities and sports.. since I have none of those.

I believe that I have a highly creative mind. I can write a novel just about anything. My highest potential is to make-believe... I think o.O Well, I can write things on paper with "A+" standards. Sometimes I just act hyper because I drink too much soda XDD But you know... I'm in my youth. I'm not passin' that up =P

I can also type pretty fast for a lil gurl XD I can type 80-somethin' words per minute (WPM) I was taught to type in like 4th grade... maybe that has something to do with my abilities? O.o

Art isn't something I leave behind. I love to draw pictures of anime characters or background effects. Everyone says I draw "HELLA GOOD!!" XDD I need to post some of my artwork up on here People always think I'm Bella's age... maybe even her twin o.O I'm just sooo mature... XDD Well.. I'm just partially hyper at the moment... o.o

Sports: I do a fair bit of cycling, long distance kinda stuff.

Music is my main talent, not to sound like I'm beating my own drum (pun intended), but I'm a phenomenal drummer, currently in 6 bands (1 Concert wind band, 1 Church band, 3 rock bands and an orchestra). However, my MAIN forte is in sound engineering/sound reinforcement/sound design/recording/general roadieing. I'm currently at universty honeing my skills as a recording engineer!

I'm also really mechanically minded, like someone said earlyer, I can build an electric guitar from scratch without any plans, I've made several mixers of my own design (headphone distribution amps etc) and my own electronic drum kit. I can usually fix guitars long after their owners have written them off as dead. Its a knack I have.

Well, I am not really good at anything in particular. I mean that there is no subject(school and not school related) where I feel I excel beyond other people at and I enjoy doing it. I consider myself as somewhat of a jack-of-all trades. I feel that my full potential is still hidden somewhere. I feel that I can do much more but with the way our education system is, I guess I'll have to wait until college, or later. I am also a firm believer in the religion of Islam. That is the reason why I want to become a philanthropist.

The only "sport" I don't suck at is DDR. I've gotten very good at it and hope to place in a competition I'm entering in November.

I'm really good at Step Mania too, but then again I'm sure most of us would be.

My main talent is art. I was second runner up in the Billboard Contest, a state winner in the Reflections program my sophomore year, and Grand winner my senior year (which went to compete nationally). And I also did the cover art for my school's commencement program all four years I was there.

My art has been in who knows how many art shows...A few of my drawings are going to be in another art show in a few days, and I think the chances of winning something are fairly good.

The biggest theater production in the world recently hired me to do a drawing for their posters, fliers, programs, and possibly even playing cards. The funny thing about this is it just kind of fell into my lap. They saw what I did for my schools commencement program (I guess some of my art work is in city hall?) and they loved it and wanted me to do something for them. The play that I'm doing the drawing for is called Pippen, and the cast (along with my drawing) will be going to Scotland and all over Europe.

Apparently word of mouth is getting around because I've actually started having people comming up to me and saying how they've heard such and such and want to see some of my work. (I just had someone else a few days ago saying how he'd like to hire me the next time he needs the background for a set painted).

I'm smart, have an insane memory for trivial things, and i can make a pretty killer magic deck, given the cards.

Oh yeah, i'm also good at DDR and can do cool wallpapers in photoshop if i feel like it.

not like those are anything amazing anyway.

Sports: I probably hold the current record at Grafton (school near where I live) for losing the most balls in the ceiling while playing tennis in the gym. Does that count?

I'm rather good at figuring out video game music by ear, and also learned part of the Fur Elise that way. Not in a video game, but the same method...

I took Karate, but quit shortly after I started. Yet, because of my particular fighting style, people still swear I took a lot of martial arts lessons at some point. I didn't; I've taken a total of 4 (3 Karate, 1 Tae Kwon Do*); most of this is stuff I taught myself. Oddly, it works.

I'm also somewhat skilled with bladed weaponry. Knives and swords, specifically. My parents don't know this yet, and I gotta keep it that way for a while...

I've always been a fast learner, even when I don't pay attention. I've sat in Biology classes many times thinking of events in the stories I was writing at the time, not paying attention at all, and I aced the final exam.


*Probably spelled wrong. Don't tell me that, because I don't really care.

Sofie: I'd rather be good at cooking than good at sports. More useful talent, right?

Sports - I'm a klutz at most organized sports because I'm bad at judging the position and speed of a ball flying through the air. If it's rolling or bouncing along the ground, it's easier because I can use the ground as a point of reference. I did take martial arts (Tae Kwon Do and Isshinryu karate) at various points in my life, and for the most part, I enjoyed them. Currently, I work out for all-around athletic ability (limit strength along with some speed and endurance), alternating heavy weight training with cardio.

Other stuff - I've been playing piano for over 20 years. Though I haven't had formal lessons since I was ten or so, I've gotten quite skilled at the instrument. I can learn complex arrangements by ear, and I compose my own. My technique could use some work, but I can do Tori Amos' music justice. I play electric guitar (rhythm guitar, i.e. chords and such - solos befuddle me), but I'm quite out of practice. I have perfect pitch (the ability to figure out what note a pitch is just by hearing it). I also sing. I'm an alto with a couple of extra low notes, and I prefer the deep end of my range.

Two years ago, I decided to try my hand at cosplay, and it pretty much became an addiction. I started off just sewing stuff, but I'm getting into propmaking as well. I'm currently working on a sword that will be my first fiberglass lamination project.

Bleh, I wish I could learn how to play my keyboard better. I want to play the guitar too. Well the acoustic one first ever since I heard it on that one movie Love Don't Cost a Thing, it sounded so melodic and purdy . My keyboard I need to work on. I have a piano book..maybe that's what I should be doing..my mom says I can't get a guitar thinger until I learn how to play my keyboard.
