Never limited to head injuries, that's the only one I can remember correctly.
Probably due to whanging my head on a diving board that day.
Then again, it was probably shock.
Fair enough. Still, most people can deal with a lot of pain if they try. Most people don't bother trying though; discomfort is seen as unnecessary. Shock is a likely thing; one of my least painful injuries was one of the times I broke my arm. Likely, it was because the full pain wasn't processing properly; it hurt but I didn't realize the extent of it and almost kept going. The second most significant and least painful injury was when I accidentally shot myself in the leg; the bullet probably burned away most of the skin nerves so little pain was transmitted.

Adrenalin also helps a lot, even if it is from fear. From personal experience...

I can climb on buildings easily but then again its not very useful unless I'll be a rapist or a rubber.
Sorry, I never point out spelling mistakes, but yours did amuse me.


My newly found talents:
I can type pretty fast.
I read even faster.
I can 4 star every Wii Fit activity.
I can play Guitar Hero on expert.

I only discovered them in the past few weeks.

I recently found that I'm fairly decent at long distance running. It's in my blood though, my pop ran for NSW and my uncle and cousins run marathons.

I can pull my arm out of it's socket a bit, I have loads of other weird traits and stuff, like being able to bend my fingers at a 90 degree angle so they form an L with my hand, I can twist my arm really far, I am pretty flexible, and I don't feel a lot of pain..And no pressure points.

I recently discovered that I no longer have to be nice to everybody, regardless if they are pricks, and have a knack for causing awkward silences in groups by shooting down the person telling the long not-funny story. Hurrah for empowerment.

Touchtype,
Sightread,
understand basic phrases in european languages due to basic knowledge of latin,

I can only run for a pathetic half-a-minute, yet I can walk for 24 hours straight with a full rucksack on, vertically.

I amass trivia, expelling it in bitesized chunks and random to the admiration of those around me

I have the innate ability to picture anything, yes, anything in my head the instant it is said aloud.

I cannot turn off this ability.

I have a very strong stomach because of this.
You sound like J.D

To quote Catbert: "you don't need real experience. Cynicism is almost the same thing as experience. If you assume the worst about people, you'll usually be right."

I think it fits :p
My talent to that effect is to look like I'm listening while completely zoning out. It helps that I have a very active imagination, and even more so that I'm an amateur writer. Most people still believe I'm a very good listener. It helps that I'm very good at giving generic-and-not-that-useful advice. My friends know better, since I openly give them shit (they give me shit too, so it's fair).

I can sit cross-legged with my legs above each other instead of the usual way, beneath each other. When I sit this way, I can raise myself from the ground with my arms, becoming a human swing set.

I'm also better than most people I know at memorizing song lyrics. I'm no master at it, just better than your average person.

We often discover a new ability or trait of ours. What is the last thing you discovered about yourself?

I have recently discovered that I have an amazing ability to remember the lyrics to the themes of every anime series I've ever watched. What weirds me out is that I can sing each song perfectly, even though it's in Japanese.

I just recently watched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig. I only heard the theme once, yet I could sing it word for word.

This surprises me since I have the most atrocious memory.
Ooh I wish I could do that, Japanese words are hard to remember...

I truly have no talent... It sounds impossable and some would say it's just low self esteem but I really suck at life. My parents are actually worried I won't make it out of high school, even then I won't have any sort of skill to get a job other than restocking the local walmart.
you'll find one
I have discovered that my comebacks and insults are genius sometimes
I can apparently dance quite well
I can get along with any person I have found- except one- but no one likes him so ha
anyway try going to art school then you can sell shit to tate modern for millions-
a few ideas for you- a broken ruler in plasticine
-a burnt out chair
-a scented candle beaten into pieces with a brick
-a double slide whistle
-a pack of blu tack made of blu tack
-a pavement going up not lying down
-a black canvas with a white dot
-a white canvas with a black dot
-eat a plastic bag, vomit it up, spray on air freshner, sell it,
-blow up your first uber rich artist hose then sell that and buy a bigger one

This.
Unfortunately I lack the strong stomach, but I just replace the image with that of a zebra doing the moonwalk.

I'm more observant than other people I know.
Same here.

I also discovered that I can learn songs very well by ear by just listening to them, then playing along.
