Your odd attributes/talents/abilities/whatever-you-want-to-call-them

[NoOne852]

So the Escapist community is full of talented and strange (sometimes at the same time) people. My question to each of you is what is your special talent(or whatever term you would like to use)? Can you juggle while doing ballet on roller skates? [sub]that would be awesome[/sub]

I will start off with something that I have had for years. Reguardless of tempurature, my hands will get cold. Now, normally I wouldn't say it's that unusual, but when it 100 degrees (Fahrenheit obviously ) outside and I go inside to grab some ice cubes, and they feel warm, there is an issue. XD (as I said it happens at any tempurature. Be it -10 or 110.) It makes messing with my friends a lot easier. Just wait for them to get all comfertable, then BAM! Ice cold hands from no where! (I find it works best on legs, feet, and neck) I don't get the chance often if you are wondering and I usually end up getting punched or kicked.

I've been told it is most likely due to poor circulation in my hands, but I never have problem moving them, though my dexterity isn't as good as they get colder, and at times it has hurt somewhat moving them, but that is rare.

Aside from my instructor, I am the only organ player on my college campus.

Hey I get that cold hand thing too!
Seriously this past summer, 50°C outside, my hands ice cold, same thing with my feet, makes it really hard to sleep.

I'm also terribly inexpressive which leads people to believe I can't get scared, and makes me quite intimidating if someone is trying to pick a fight with me, since I look like I don't even care, which comes across as being really confident, however if the fight does start, well chances are I'll get my ass kicked, but then again I also tend to not react to pain, so sometimes they find me more intimidating because well it looks like I'm not getting hurt, quite funny that I can come across as quite tough, considering my arms are like noodles, good thing I always wear long sleeves!
[sup][sup]^That also has a lot of downsides, but let's focus on the positives![/sup][/sup]

 

[IrradiatedFish]

Hmm, well unfortunately I can't juggle while doing ballet on roller skates, but I can do this weird thing with my thumb on my right hand. Can't really describe it, but a lot of people think it's creepy.

Apparently being able to touch your tongue to your nose is weird too, but I've been able to do that my whole life without any effort and I never gave a second thought to it.

Alas, I can't really think of anything else that's super odd at the moment. I'm a pretty normal average everyday sort of guy (I think?).

If for some reason I do recall some long forgotten bizzaro talent of mine, I'll be sure to update you all !

 

[Chemical Alia]

I can name music notes I hear without a reference and tell you what keys songs are in. So useful.

Aside from my instructor, I am the only organ player on my college campus.

I play the organ too! Hooray for foot keyboards!

 

[Erja_Perttu]

I'm immensely lucky. Things just seem to work out for me. Just last month I was in the middle of nowhere and found £35 lying around.

Or raffles. I always seem to win raffles. And on scratchcard, I won £100 on a scratchcard recently, that was awesome.

Or one time, I had a crap ticket to a show. At the last minute I asked for an exchange and ended sitting at the centre of the front row of the dress circle.

I also have an incredible ability at putting my foot in my mouth at almost any given opportunity. Show me somewhere I can say the wrong thing and I will somehow manage to say it.

I am burdened with glorious talent.

 

[The Wykydtron]

I'm always thinking, about everything and nothing. It's been pretty much my favourite thing to do since school. Or maybe I found school so boring it caused my thought overload...

Oh yeah and if I work out a grand plan of some sort, i'll work it out to the finest detail then it'll fail horribly because of this crazy huge simple oversight. It's what almost failed me an IT assessment. Fix everything inside the PC? Good, good. Why won't it turn on still? Oh right the plug was missing a fuse... Yeah take it apart before you check the power. Genius.

Also I am physically incapable of judging people... Ever. It combines with my overthinking to make it worse (better?) Always thinking about the little if, buts, maybes and supposes. Even if they don't exist. I may make a good therapist if I wasn't so antisocial myself XD

 

[PsychicTaco115]

I can riff anything and provide quality humor to it

Or so I've been told... by one person...

IT STILL COUNTS, DANGNABIT!

 

[snagli]

Let's see. My tongue is wider than my mouth, which is slightly weird. My nails grow at a ridiculous speed and my arm hair appears to change from blonde to brown every week or so. I also have this thing where I think about every single thing I have ever thought about, at the same time. It's like being in a movie theater with 5000 screens, and it's quite soothing.

Captcha: apple juice. Excellent point captcha, thank you for reminding me. I have a taste for EVERYTHING. There is not a single thing I have eaten so far I didn't find tasty in some way.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I am always the blacksheep of any group...ANY group.

And the talents and skills that I possess only serve to amuse me and only I understand them.

 

[Mel Theofficegamergirl]

my awesome skills are; bartending, playing guitar, painting, writing, singing (hopefully all in the same night!)

my strange skill is; I can move my little toes independently of the rest. '

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

I can wiggle my ears! Not strange enough..?
Okay, okay, I have a sunken chest. Around the center of my chest it caves in. Please, hold your comments of eating cereal out of it to yourself.....[sub]I get enough of those.....[/sub][sub][sub]from everybody I have shown[/sub][/sub]

Who would think that's a good idea?
I mean you wouldn't be able to move right, and even if you just came out of the shower the milk would mix with sweat, and yeah, that's just disgusting...

Exactly, and I would need to be laying down on the ground to hold the cereal and when I was finished it would just be filled with milk and I couldn't get up without spilling it!

One time I was throwing Hot Tamales up into the air to catch in my mouth and one went straight down my shirt, luckily my chest caught it for me, it was sooooooo cool.

 

[Leftyrem]

I can identify what type of coin hits the ground just by the lighter or deeper sound it makes.

How strange, I also am rather unexpressive, though, most people think that I am sad or angry because of it, which makes them more concered than anything. (Even my good friends haven't fully figured it out yet) I also am tall and lanky, but I have been told that I am actually quite strong compared to how I look. (I would make a good Slenderman)
So aside from a few minor things, we have quite a bit in common. XD

Or so I've been told... by one person...

At band camp?

Let's see. My tongue is wider than my mouth, which is slightly weird. My nails grow at a ridiculous speed and my arm hair appears to change from blonde to brown every week or so. I also have this thing where I think about every single thing I have ever thought about, at the same time. It's like being in a movie theater with 5000 screens, and it's quite soothing.

Gah, all I can think about is how often you probably bite your tongue because of that. >_<
And I can relate to thinking about everything at once. It really sucks me away from the rest of what is currently going on, but I like to joke to myself about it being some sort of PTSD flashback from an event that hasn't happened. XD [sub]I think its funny...[sub]I am a strange person ok? >_> [/sub][/sub]

 

[Haunted Serenity]

I am immune to the cold; being born and living in Canada explains some of it but even us northern dwellers, I am exceptionally resistant to it's effects. Also I have a slight fore sight ability that is instictive which is exceptionally usefull in a sparing match knowing what moves my oponent will use before they even start moving.

Pectus excavatum isn't that uncommon. Honestly, once I heard about it through a project on Marfan Syndrome, I started seeing it everywhere.

I don't really have any abilities. I mean, other than the psychokinesis, obviously.

 

[OctoH]

I'm an asian dance instructor. That's odd in itself. That I do hiphop, well, that's a stereotype I guess. But that I teach ballroom (specifically swing dance) is very rare. I also teach my swing classes to just about any kind of music other than traditional swing music.

 

[DanielBrown]

I can... make my eyes shake really fast.
Not good enough? That's all I got.
