I have a piss-poor sense of orientation.

I am a good cook.

I play the guitar.

I can sing my way around some songs.

I am reasonably smart.

I have a great memory, bordering on eydeetic sometimes, but I can not remember which date it is.

I am a good orator.

I am very very good in hand-to-hand-combat.

Oh and of course, I am an incredible lover.

I...I don't think I have any skills, really.

I'm far too changeable - every few weeks I drop what I was doing and move onto something else. I haven't learnt an instrument, I don't know how to make anything, I don't know any other languages, I haven't participated in any sport long enough to say I've got any sort of proficiency in it...

Wow, this thread made me realise I'm actually pretty unskilled

You've got a point there, Captcha.

A natural affinity for video games. I generally play better then others even if they've played the game before and I haven't...

Real skills? Loyal, reasonable and logical I guess. Humour and wit I think would be my strongest skills.

I can pick up virtually any instrument and make throw a song together out of it. Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano/Keyboard, Trombone, trumpet, etc.

At 25 years old, I can still 360 flip a skateboard and bust a 5-0 grind. I was very relieved to find that out for some reason.

If someone hands me a busted to hell desktop/laptop, I can get it up an running within a day (granted it's what I do for a living) BUT I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DOING IT FOR FREE ON MY ONE DAY OFF A WEEK, I'M SORRY.

I can read at a much faster pace than anyone I personally know in RL.

I can understand spoken Japanese, and read Kanji/Kana, but when speaking to a Japanese native I get nervous and make mistakes (ties a lot into the social anxieties, I believe).

A "toot your own horn thread", I like it!

And no this is not in any way shape or form a diabolical search for those with the skills to pilot the many many giant robots that I will no doubt create.
Well I am excessively good at piloting giant robots >.>

OT: I have an incredibly wild imagination and daydreaming takes up about 8 hours of my day does that count?

I'm good at most video games I pick up (except RTS's, grrr)

I write occasional stories whenever I feel inspired.

I *play* the guitar (its not that bad, actually, just not amazing)

If I'm in a good mood the puns and jokes just keep on coming.

I guess i could say i'm somewhat skilled at miniature painting, but i personally think there's a ton of room for me to improve.

It's not hard to tell i don't like feeding my ego.

IDK. As far as academics are concerned I have a very analytical mind and am great at setting up experiments to test stuff. I also pick stuff up easily which has unfortunately made me very lazy.

Those kinds of skills? ;)

I'm not sure what skills I have. Does being really nice, understanding and always happy count as skills?
I'd say your skill is making other people happier, which is quite a feat.

OT: I'm good at deductions and finding loopholes? My sister posted a question from her law class that they were supposed to figure out, and I solved it in five seconds, while her class took ages.

There are ten eggs in a basket. Ten people take one egg each, but there is one egg left in the basket. Why?
The last guy nicked the basket with the egg inside!

I'm also a pretty good fencer too I suppose. Though if given a choice between the sword and the helmet, I'd pick the helmet. Those things are HEAVY. AND HURT!

Well, let's see:

I've got a really good retentive memory,

I'm good at working with various computer data and the likes (Im by no means brilliant, but definitely much better than anyone else I know)
I'm good at repairing miscellaneous equipment.

I'm also pretty good with guns (specifically small handguns) and a while ago I tought myself how to pick a lock.

I can also move very, very quietly, even without meaning to. I have accidentally snuck on people and startled them without trying to. Either that, or people I know have very poor perception :p
