Your most recently discovered ability/trait.

[klakkat]

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...

If someone shows me a picture of a flag I instantly know which country the flag represents.

 

[nova18]

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.

 

[Motti]

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.

 

[Resistance205]

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.

 

[BeeRye]

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.

 

[Eatbrainz]

I Gears 2 on Hardcore, That makes me hardcore. Grr.

 

[GrinningManiac]

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

 

[PiggyJibbleFish]

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

 

[XJ-0461]

I recently learnt how to ride a bike. For me, this is an amazing achievement.

 

[konkwastaken]

I can drink a pint of Jack Daniels in a relatively short but undefined period of time, without passing out.

well...i can do the same with smirnoff but the taste of jacks makes me want to be sick

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
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).

 

[Overlord_Dave]

I recently discovered that I can kill a yak from 200 hundred yards

WITH MIND BULLETS!

 

[Queen Michael]

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.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

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...

 

[titanium turtle]

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.

 

[WittyName]

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.
