What's your curse? and your special talent? - Page 7

Cicero · 10-19-2007, 12:24 PM

Hmmm...how does RK know about that night?!? I'm innocent!!!

And when was I named Circ? That only makes since if you are dyslexic. Which I am. Sometimes....

Back to the topic!!!

My other special talent is procrastination. There is a subtle art to not doing something...and not doing that thing well. In fact, I can be doing many great things in avoidance of doing what I am supposed to be doing, which makes what I'm supposed to be doing seem trivial, less fulfilling, and downright less productive. My quality of life even seems to be enhanced while I'm running from the priority, but I seem to do it just in time, and it is usually ends up being awesome....I am great at doing just a little more than expected, just all at once. And my superiors still seemed to be impressed. The art of procrastination is just that..an art. You have to look like you are doing what you are supposed to, be good at what you are actually doing, and deliver the final product, that is impressive, in the nick of time. If you are really good, you just look like you are multi-tasking but you are really procrastinating!

twin, is that you?

Cicero · 10-19-2007, 04:26 PM

Talkin' to me? Huh?

I don't get it!

monster · 10-19-2007, 10:26 PM

procrastination is also a specialty of mine, and you caught me just at that point where I might really need to start thinking about preparing for Thor's party which is at 5 tomorrow after 3 soccer games and buying a new fridge....... I usually decorate the cake while the kids play pass-the-parcel.

I was looking for the Special Talent thread.
I forgot it went through a Spectacular Row phase.
Never mind, all over now.

Still - I remembered today that one of my special talents is an exceptionally loud clap.
You might be thinking - yeah, right. You might think everyone claps the same volume.
Oh Noes!
I can clap SO loud!
It's all about cupping the hands. I learned it in my school production/ am-dram days.
And as it's technically clapping, Mum can't protest. But I swear, it's the loudest clap in the room. Noisy am us.

Okay I have also been known to whoop when family members are being acknowleged (niece & nephew for example.) But only when officially sanctioned. And I don't stand up. Because I've been asked not to.

Not going back on any of my curses, you've had enough of those.

Kind of ironic. Usually the clap would fall under the "curse" category.

This post really made me laugh. I do know the logistics behind the loud clap, the whole cupping of the hands thing, but I'm not that good at it. :p

However, I can flip a bottle cap faster and farther than any of you! That is my special talent.

My curse? Eh, just being me.

I just found a video demonstrating the bottle cap flip. lmao!

Sundae · 08-14-2009, 04:36 PM

How so?
I give the clap big time.
Why the issue?

I've no idea why they call me Mary.

I had a friend in college we used to call Kit Kat...I probably shouldn't say what her special talent was...

Well maybe you shouldn't, but I think you have to now.

It may be a Brit thing.
