    I do it by talking.
    I was one of the few to make the great leap from the computer screen to face to face interaction.
    facetime?

    Slightly, ever so slightly :p

    Ok talents, lets see...

    I can do cart wheels and handstands, I can walk a considerable distance on my hands too.... My son who is 20 yrs younger than me can't :D

    I still get a kick from climbing tree's and scaling walls, I'm guessing in these softer times these are a talent?.

    I can shimmy up a lamp post and rope climb :cool:

    Any good?.

    Not a talent as such, but I have an amazing everlasting pen.

    I can sing. I don't think I'm particularly good, I think I'm average really, but I get paid to do it and people buy my CD occasionally, so I guess I'm fairly all right in that aspect.

    I attempt to play piano and guitar.

    I've got great aim with a bow and arrow. :D

    I'm good with my mouth. ;)

    I can draw. I've heard a fair few people say how they'd love to be able to draw. I wonder why but I suppose I take it for granted. My art teacher hated me for it because I was too bored in his class to actually work at it :p

    I'd give a testicle to be able to draw. I struggle with a stick man. I have so many things I'd love to just doodle floating around in my head but translating them to paper is an absolute no hoper.

    As for talents I have.... I can make the sound of a water drop echo... You know, useful for annoying teachers.... not so functional now that I'm 31....

    That's actually quite true! :D When I was in 6th class and I was doing art classes outside of school, I was in with the 3rd year group and I loved it :P

    You're not the only one, believe me. :( I reckon the whole "everyone's good at something" line is just spun to try and make kids feel better about themselves.

    I've been told I'm a good writer but I don't see it myself. I could never be patient enough to sit down and write a novel or anything; I'd be able to write five pages of complete shíte before either getting bored or losing confidence. I'm rubbish at sport, am hopeless at cooking, can't sing, dance or act, have tried (and failed) at playing instruments. I was a top student in secondary school but seemed to lose any sort of academic ability in third level.

    So yeah..........not exactly brimming with talents. I can do some useless shít though, like naming the American states in alphabetical order and naming all the capital cities of the world.

    This is very werid!
    I was either in 5th or 6th class too, and was doing art outside of school with junior cert age people. Having a bit of creative fun :D
    I'm actually not bad at modeling. I must get back into that over the Xmas. Great fun.

    We need to give you a confidence injection :)
    If people tell you you're a good writer you most likely are!

    Well guys too. I'd jump into bed with him if he drew my picture.
    The gays make great artists.

    One of those lines above is a joke. :D

    The line about gays being great artists? I agree. Always did think Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were bad artists ;)

    I'm bad for not keeping it up and I'd say I stopped doing art classes in 3rd year and only did it for the leaving for easy points. The only reason why I started back doing something creative recently was when I found my old rough mock ups for the art day test and a thread in the nocturnal forum so I started pricking about with my iPad doing some digital stuff.

    I think it's good to have a hobby though and to keep it up if it's fun. Wouldn't do any harm to pick it back up again if you enjoyed either :D

    I think I'm good at languages and accents...And I find it easy to put a name to a face. Everybody in the world seems to say they're bad with names...I think I'm good at remembering people's names.

    Did anyone else love using Xbox live to troll accents a few years back when everyone was using headsets? :D
