I am very proud to announce that I can tie those peel-y twizzler string things in a knot with my tongue in under a minute, so amaze.

what about you all? let's hear these secret talents.
 
I can play easy piano songs with my toes. Like, when I play it with my hands, such as Aux Champs-Elys?es, santa claus is coming to town, etc. No not Beethoven Piano Sonata or Debussy Suite bergamasque.
 
I can beatbox pretty well. Able to make a specific noise as a beat for any song that other people can’t. :)
 
I'm naturally good at figuring out technology. No one taught me how to use stuff like image editing programs or PowerPoint, but I managed to master it on my own.
 
According to my friends and family (and even my pets), I'm good at giving massages.
I'm good at figuring out stuff on my own. I've learned how to sew without any help when I was 5, I learned how to use chopsticks like, less than a minute after being presented with a bowl of ramen, chopsticks and no way out. My friends thought I already knew how to use them, they wouldn't have known better if I didn't tell them.
I'm also sort of a self-taught ambidextrous, my dad is a lefty so he always kept the mouse at the left side so since a very young age I've learned using both hands. I can even write with my non-dominant hand, but it looks like a preschooler's handwriting.
 
well, i've heard from some people that i'm pretty physically strong. not sure if that's a talent but whatever.
i have really good hearing. like, really good hearing. again, not sure if that's a talent.
 
Does disturbing people by cracking various joints in my body esp my finger tips count? :)

I'm good with my hands doing crafty stuff.
 
i can maintain eye contact forever, like a shark. everyone breaks away first because of my power
 
I can make myself cry (not immediately on command---I need to build up the emotions and be semi-upset or affected).
(눈‸눈)

I learned this when I was a student and really wanted to go back to class.

Also, no, I was not a theatre kid. I am also terrible at acting.

Back story: the principal called me into their office about my schedule.

Every year, students get to write down their preferences for what they want their schedules to be. Ultimately, the school did our schedules but sometimes you can convince them to change it (ex: if your parents nagged them enough, your family had $ shmoney, etc). Now, practically no one liked our principal. They never really knew what was going on.

So of course when my name got called over the PA system during math class, everyone gave me The Look. The one where people think you're in trouble.

Me, confused as I was, went to the principal's office. It was not a good time because she was telling me that the schedule I wanted would not be the one I was gonna receive. After the initial 5-10 minutes of trying to negotiate, she flat out told me: "Yes, I know this isn't fair but that's life, rianne."

I began to emphasize how much I wanted to be in the same class as my friends, I care about my education a lot (both truthful statements, but I digress). I could see her face getting red because I was rambling and taking up more than 10-15 minutes of her ~*~precious time~*~ Eventually, I started crying. I was frustrated but I didn't know the extent of it. Tears were rolling down my face and I didn't have a tissue.

She finally said she'd change my schedule to what I'd written down and to go back to class. She was so angry lol. I said in a super sweet voice, "Thank you so much *Principal's name here*."

I was able to calm myself down by the time I went back to class. Then when anyone asked what happened, I said it was about my schedule and it was back and forth for awhile. The bell rang shortly after I returned.

TL;DR I annoyed and fooled the principal because I didn't like them and cried almost on command out of frustration. Yes, I know it was bratty and morally questionable but what's done is done. Haven't done anything close to this crying jag since then.
 
I can dislocate my own finger and put it back with no pain. I don’t do it often because it seems risky, but it’s interesting.

I can pull my ring finger down while having alll the rest of the hand fingers straight up on my right hand.
Whenever my friends or family members have tried, they can?t get their other fingers to sit fully straight up.
 
I'm really good at wrapping presents and tying fancy ribbons!
 
I'm very good at finding things, like my mind tells me where the thing is at. When something is lost, the first spot i look for the thing, it always ends up at the right spot i first look at. I help looking for lost things for my family a lot of times.

I don't remember the last time i couldn't find a lost item.
 
I'm good at doing absolutely nothing. :)

On a serious note though, I can make my eyes point directly to the middle of my nose if that counts?
 
I have a pretty dang good memory. I can remember many things all the way back to when I was 2 years old. Point out any item in my room/posession and I can tell you how, when, why, and where I got it. :cool:
