I’m good a small talk. Practice with my mom while swimming.
Milo here; Being king of the universe. It came naturally. I exist, therefore I rule
Procrastination! I am an expert at that :D
Joking. Well I can’t say. I suppose a talent is something others notice on you usually.
My friend tells me I have a good memory. If that’s the case (not that sure haha) well I suppose it has to do more with the fact I had to memorize tons and tons of info while I was at school/uni that it actually became a habit.
I do decoupage. I took a faux finishing class at the local community college (free community college classes are one of the benefits of my job) and one of the faux finishes we learned was decoupage. I am always working on a decoupage project, and have done so many. I give them as gifts and do them for myself at home. I don’t sell them. I have done some incredible ones that I’ve given away and wish I took better photos of, and I have some at home, which I really should take photos of. I belong to some decoupage groups on FB and I really enjoy it.
Along with that I do faux finishing and I buy old crappy wooden things and faux finish them and decoupage them.
I can also balance brooms and chairs on my finger tips and palms of my hands. I say that in jest because it sounds so funny, but it’s something that I can do that not many people can do.
I am the king of perseverance and patience.
I am the ghost of Fluther past.
^^Dead & behind the times, fancy that.
I can do over a thousand keepy-uppy’s with a football, then I get bored & stop.
I can pick up things from the floor with my toes. I almost managed a stapler once.
I can touch my nose with my tongue.
I am very emphatic and can usually tell a person is feeling off and sometimes how.
I knew something looked wrong. Thanks @janbb
Last night at my parents’ house I showed them my broom balancing and chair balancing. My mom said my father used to be able to do that so it must be genetic (she was making a joke, we all know it’s not necessarily genetic). For the chair balancing, it has to be a chair I can easily hold up with one hand, so plastic outdoor chairs work best. The normal kitchen chair is too heavy to hold up. My daughter thought the broom balancing was hilarious and she wants to learn. I learned when I was about 11 because I had a good friend that could do it. The chair balancing I learned on my own, because I remember my dad doing it. He could also balance chairs on his chin.
