    Draw. But I'm just too **** at it. I tried for years to get better but I've never been good. I'd love to be able to draw. Some of my friends have me in awe with their talents. They're really gifted. But no, I'm just an evil genius with a disposition to suicidal tendency. (Bad joke)
    Honestly though I'm not particularly talented at anything. Average at lot of things. I'm about as plain as you can be, bland, boring and generic.

    I'd really love to be good at art though. I just have to accept I wouldn't be. I don't think it's something you learn really though if you just don't have "it".
    I like to be good at something.

    Would would other boardsies like to be good at that they're not?
    You're good at talking ****e:P

    Id love to be able to sing :( was talking to someone on video chat earlier, thought my mic was off......singing away for ten minutes before he told me he could hear me!!!

    Dance! I'm fooking useless. I did tap and jazz dancing when I was a teenager and I wasn't great back then either. I was always the one tripping over my feet and forgetting the steps. I loved it though. I suppose it doesn't matter if you're great at something as long as you enjoy it.

    Actually considering restarting tap n jazz dance classes sometime later in the year. Maybe I'd be better at it now that I'm not a self-conscious teen?

    Like yourself OP, I don't have any outstanding talents but then I think most people don't. Only the minority are exceptional at something. I'm okay with that, actually.

    I'm definitely not. Perhaps I should be, but I'm not. I am determined to excel in something and I will. Or die trying.

    I can sing, and play guitar and piano and a few other instruments. Ive always found it easy to learn new instruments so I guess thats my talent.... I too would love to be able to draw though.

    Maybe that comes with age.

    ...play drums. Used to drum for a couple of bands (didn't get anywhere...not that I/they were serious...more for fun), then shot my knee out (and need surgery) so I've been a grumpy boll*cks since. :(

    But OP, have you tried picking up/going to classes/books/dvd's?

    You won't believe me but I actually have very little time. I train everyday during the week and have music lessons and matches to play.

    Tough to find or make the time, especially with other interests and/or work. Have you tried to even sketch in any free time during the day?
