I don't sleep. Though that's more of a handicap than an ability because I still need sleep.

I seem to have this acute sensitivity to contradictions, logical fallacies, and irony. Contradictions just jump out at me. I grasp them intuitively. I also have a love of the absurd. I like to add contradictions where there were none. I have a lot of fun with juxtapositions.

So, yeah, I can be a bit of a dick.

A strange ability to predict unimportant events months in advance, down to the smallest detail.
And a rather nice habit of seeing sounds as colours.

Having been a hockey goalie for about 20 years, I'm still stupidly flexible, and my legs below the knees, bend in ways that normal peoples' don't. By that, I mean that I can kneel, with my thighs and body facing in a single direction, and my feet and lower legs are splayed out to the side 90deg, with my instep flat on the floor. I'll take a picture, if I didn't explain that well, but the standard kneeling goalie save (called the 'butterfly position'), basically destroys the way the meniscus (meniscii?) functions in a normal person, allowing the lower half of the joint to operate in a fashion that can't have been intended by nature.

Pretty much this.., it's totally amazing too!,


and, the ability to do pretty much anything I want to, so long as I don't think, I mean like, if I were to start cooking or drawing, it'll just happen, but if I think about it at any point, it goes bad, specially weird since I have Dyspraxia
Yes. Perhaps we're like the X-men?

Interestingly, I have Dyspraxia as well.
Perhaps our curse holds a hidden gift?

, but this gift can never allow me to finish my half-drawn drawings!, damn it! *burns notebook*

I'm always early.

Except in _that_ context. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask your parents ^^ )

I can wobble/vibrate my eyes, never met anyone else who can (although I've seen youtubes of others)

Ninja'd. But this. I can also wiggle my ears!
And I have an uncanny ability to end up in near-death experiences, to the point where a couple of friends of mine have tried counting how many lives I've 'lost'. 6, as it turns out.
Theories people have suggested:
I'm some kind of cat person, with 9 lives (3 now)
I'm actually immortal
I'm the luckiest sonofabitch on the planet
Or, as a fellow nerd suggested, every 100 coins I've had in my lifetime gives me another life!

I have what sees to be a somewhat god-like sense of direction.
I can find where ever I am on a map and I can just about work out North, South etc. quickly.
I've also got some sort of instinct for finding the right way if I'm lost.

It's probably nonsense, but I just don't get lost.

I can lick my nose, most people think this is unusual around here.

Edit: I also only look out of one eye at a time, so if I switch which eye i'm using at the time really fast, it makes them shake.

I can feel static energy from about 300 yards away, and for some reason, I can sense anyone around me with a 500ft radius. Seriously, it could just be extreme paranoia, but every time I turn around thinking someone is there, they are. It is almost impossible to jump-scare me now, because of my weirdness.

OH! I remembered, I can also kinda feel when someone is angry. My teacher was about to shout at the class for being too noise, and I could almost feel him inhale, ready to scream. It sucks, I'm almost impossible to scare. :(

I can remember hundreds upon hundreds of film and game quotes.
I can say exactly which episode of Blackadder is on just by the first sound or line.

I can find anything funny. Most of the time it's good for livening the mood, which I like to have as a quality, but sometimes it makes me feel like a prick for being able to laugh at some things.

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same but if you look at people staring out of a window of a car/train/whatever, following the sorroundings with their eyes, their eyes go left and right very fast, especially if they're focusing on something within 10 meters.

I have a weak shoulder so sometimes I can dislocate it. Not that is has happened that often, maybe once or twice a year. That's still way too often, though. I did dislocate it 3 times in a row once quite recently though. Luckily there was a doctor nearby. Also, it's more of a handicap than an ability.

My strength is my mental abilities even though I consider myself to be in good shape. I just can't do anything extraordinary physically.

Hmmm, let me see...my ears move when I'm a relatively quiet enviroment and hear a sound. Unconscious reaction.

I can move my arms extremely quickly (as in beyond blurringly quick) but have bad hand to eye coordination so it was only ever useful when I played Bop it.

I can also laugh like a jockey and make spitter sounds.

No, it's far quicker than that. Too quick to focus on anything at all.

I have the uncanny ability to not have a social life, regardless of any of my endeavors.

Also, I have the ability to be a guy with naturally gorgeous hair. Behold my power!
