Toby-Chan
Have a non-talent to lament over? Talk about it here!




I have several.

For one, I am utter crap at working with clay, especially on a pottery wheel. Likely a combined effect of my minimal experience, and bony hands.

I'm also positively horrible at remembering peoples' names. I love people and I get to know them and their personalities, but I generally miss names and get too embarassed to ask people after having known them for months. It's a curse of assumption on both ends, really. And I always feel like I'll offend somebody for it.
Ailuro
Haha, I have the same name memory curse. It's taken me months to correctly recall my friends' names. tongue.gif

Ohhhh, stuff I suck at?? well, let's see, there's art, anything that has to do with computers, public speaking (which is gonna be interestiing, since i have a speech to give on Wed in front of about 100 people....ugg), singing, dancing, playing any instrument, I totally SUCK at remembering names and things (people get soo pissed at me), err...I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of them...refer to the memory problems laugh.gif hahahaha!!!!
*~vachi~*
DANCING! I suck at it!! well, I think, but I feel embarrassed when you must dance...it is...veeeery embarrassing...I think I even blush a little...damn, I´m very pale... dry.gif


Celestial Shadow
Gosh, there's so much I suck at... unsure.gif

I'm terrible at:

Math
Dancing
Singing
Drawing
Playing musical instruments
Getting a boyfriend!
Saying the right things at the right times
Talking on the phone
Talking in front of people
Talking to hot guys
Pretty much just talking blink.gif
Keeping up with goals/homework

Much more I can't remember...
Toby-Chan
Oh yeah. Math. That's another huge one.

Keeping a steady attention span, or following formulas.

Sexiness is another place where I phail. Even goofy type. When I was trying to do an overblown sexy walk for an improv game in drama, everyone was all like, 'Wtf is that supposed to be?'

Celes-- the 'getting a boyfriend' is an imaginary skill of no consequence. If relationships are truly important to you, then the impression skill oughn't be an issue; it should be a matter of finding a person who you truly care about on a human level, not someone you want to show off to/show off.

Thanks but it's not exactly that I meant...Just letting someone know how I feel is difficult for me.

I suck at the following:

- Memory (it's terrible, my friends will be able to tell you)
- Art (I can draw stick people, and that's it)
- Piano (just because I'm at a high level doesn't mean I'm good at it)
- Math (that's a given; why would I be in English otherwise?)
- Cooking (I can't make anything substantial)
- Computers (I can't do jack with them; they like to eat my brain cells)

I think there are more. I'll edit this list when I remember them (cf. Memory).

My spelling and grammer are usually quite poor.

Mathematics was never my greatest subject

Cooking...I get by....I could be better

If I sing the cats in the street join in with me

Right at this moment, staring a piece of work. Doing it is easy...its starting it that's my struggle blink.gif
Slashrose1010
Wow, Celes and Void pretty much took mine.

Umm... I guess, history and staying ocmmitted to something. Not people, I mean like, *cough* things like exercise and stuff.

Ahh, yes, my memory and spelleing suck, as well. Also, I suck at writing.

Cleaning.

Let's see.... Sports, cleaning, getting homework done on time, keeping interest in people(or things) for a while.
~FMAgurl~
Things I suck at. Hmm. There's lots. Many people have already mentioned, but I'll say them anyways.

-Dancing. My joints just will not move the right way dry.gif.
-Singing. There's a reason I'm not in chorus.
-Remembering important stuff. Lately, when I study, everthing I read stays in my brain for about a minute, tops.
-Flirting. I think it's something I'm just not capable of. I can only talk to guys as friends. Even if I like the guy, I won't show it in any way. I'm terrible at being a girl ><.

Handwriting. Especially in other languages. Like Chinese. GRR! For being able to draw, I sure can't get stylized lines down worth crap.

I'm also really bad at keeping my interest in my schoolwork...but I excel in procrastination laugh.gif

Ah, yeah. Handwriting is a big one for me. My AP Bio notes are just one huge mass of chickenscratch.

Drawing, painting, anything relating to the visual arts that does not directly invovle a computer *stifled sob*

Oh, woe is mee! Woe is meeeee! My life... *heave pant pant* is over! My artsitic career has swirled down the drain of life like an unclogged drainage and cleaning supplies!

I'm also really bad at metaphors and acting. tongue.gif

Actually, it's not so much the -talking- to women as it is the -getting them to like me as more than a friend-. dry.gif

Thats a hard change to make sometimes Bacon...but if they accept you as a close friend you are most of the way there.

Hosnap! ohmy.gif ph34r.gif

No, I'm actually quite anti-otaku I've always had a disorganized nature. Probably one of the reasons I like being outside more. (When it's not so sodding cold!) It has nothing to do with my dorky hobbies. And taking care of myself probably should've been phrased differently; I meant as being an 'adult' and getting things done on my own.

I'm very hygenic, thank you very much. X-P

Let's see...mei sucks at:

- Coordination--hands, feet, people, etc.
- Quick thinking. Give mei and minute and she'll tell you how.
- Being social at social events.
- Noticing things that should be noticed...like uneven ground and the skateboarder coming her way.
- Remembering what happened yesterday. Once it becomes the day before yesterday, however, the memory returns.
- ...and plenty others.

I rarely ever remember my dreams as well. If I do, I remember it very briefly, but forget it by the time I enter first period. My dreams have been somewhat normal from what I can remember, though.

I want to forget my dreams as easily as y'all do. A lot of mine are psychologically frightening and I remember them for years. I still remember a particularly scary one from when I was six. And I also still remember the one I had last night in almost perfect detail. It gets very annoying after a while. mellow.gif
