Like, what are you REALLY good at? What can you do, that when you are doing it, you feel you really are just BETTER at it than everyone else?



Me?



erm...



Pottering with junk?making 'ickle models of buildings, places and machines. Then fitting them into my imagination of the future?a dystopia, a utopia, whatever. I can be happy with myself for hours doing that. Haven't had time for months though... \



Thinking about things. Inane things often. About possibilities, probabilities and outcomes. About what could be, should be, might be. Lots of people are cleverer than me, but I Think. Makes me a bit... enigmatic.



And forgetting peoples' names. I am awesome at that. Unparalleled in fact. I don't know many of my close relatives' and only a few of my Uni class mates names (I only ever remember the last one that is told to me).





Hmm. That last thing is pretty useless, my artistic twinge is the only practical thing I can think that I'm just... good at. Not anything special with computers, sport, cooking, writing, funniness.



Hows 'bout you?

    you come to a realization pretty early on that since you are the only person in the world doing something you are by default the best at it. like synthesizing a new compound. it loses something after a while though.



    now if you are looking at things everyone does, then, I am the best at waking up just on time.

    Solving so-called 'impossible' puzzles. For some reason the answer is always really logical and apparent.



    And sex. I'm really good. Really.

    Solving my advisor's puzzles.



    "Hey, I have this great research idea for you for this semester - go investigate X..."



    (two days later)



    "Okay, here you go."



    "Damn, I have *got* to come up with something to justify paying you."



    "You did. Not my fault if I did it a little earlier than you expected..."

    Yeah, apart from being *good at sex*. I was wondering if there was any unusual talent around here?

    On internet boards that is probably an unusual talent.

    If you found out what I'm good at, I'd have to kill you.

    I have an excellent *mouth* for beer recipes. I frequently am called upon to test company brewed beers, and am able to to tell them exactly what they've done right, and exactly what they need to remove or add to make the beer better. Ales are my speciality...Belgians screw with my mouth somehow, so I'm not as good at defining those.

    somehow being good at Super Smash Bros. doesn't seem like that much of a triumph :/
