What is your talent?

Greycat mentioned the idea of a topic to express your own particular talent. Mine is "Listener". I hear an off note as soon as it is played, and since my late husband was a musician he found it a useful talent to have. He transcribed scores to different keys, and I would check for accuracy. Badly played music makes my skin crawl.

My dad was a music prodigy. He played the organ at church from 10 years old. I got his singing voice but thats it. Can't play an instrument but I know when something is off and such.

I'm good at taking pictures.

Driving very long distances without getting tired. (Drove from Saint Louis to Sarasota Florida non stop, Saint Louis to Denver) Saint Louis to Akron Ohio, Akron Ohio to Boston.

That's a good, positive list.

Sportsdude · Oct 12 06 09:44

Yeah I must think positive. Not negative. The stuff thats giving me negative thoughts is just that thoughts and don't mean anything.

I like to create things and I'm inventive . I get extra enjoyment, if I can make something out of salvaged materials or to totally 'repurpose' something.

Sportsdude · Oct 12 06 10:06

I love doing that. That means you're not wasteful PC

P.C. · Oct 12 06 10:15

Absolutely Sportsdude.

I just like the way it feels to make something beautiful out of things that are no longer useful as what they are.

What do you mean by repurpose something? Make it useful for something else?

Dunno what I could say for talents for me.

I like working with my hands and thinking around a problem. When I solve something with my work, I get a feeling of accomplishment.

Im easy to get along with, and I am constantly surrounded by friends.

I hate studying though.

What do you mean by repurpose something? Make it useful for something else?

Exactly. My mom and dad were both like that too.

I'm a great procrastinator; at rationalising I am the greatest.

P.C. · Oct 12 06 10:45

lol, weird al.....that's one of my specialties too.

I was also going to say I'm very organized.....but I'm actually looking for a dvd RIGHT NOW, that has some pictures of some things I've made, but be darned if I know where it is.

LOL. Same here. Studying is a 4-letter word in my mind.

Hmmm, I don't know if I have a "talent" but I have a wonderful/charming/seductive smile/grin that makes people comfortable to be around me. Umm, whatever that means.

Lise · Oct 13 06 09:46

Oh wow. I'm in a room fill with very, very talented ppl.

For me, I can paint a bit or sketch though not as brilliant as say, greycat.

I sing most wonderfully in the bathroom.

I can give birth anytime, anywhere.... BEAT THAT, YOU MEN!!!

And the cream on the top, breast feed faster than you can unbutton that top. Booyah!

I can cause a pregnancy anytime, anywhere...does that count?

I suppose I'd really have to see a live demo before I could comment.

I'm pretty good at the unbuttoning-the-top thing, though.
