I think it's time for a feel good about yourself thread. Even if your talents and skill are dubious and/or silly...
Let me start. *clears throat* (and wow, do I need to right now)
I can play several musical instruments (as you might have guessed).
I figured out how to solve a Rubik's Cube when I was 12.
I can build and repair stringed instruments.
I can do home repairs and some light construction.
I can usually guess how much my bill is at a restaurant by +/- 5% before looking at it.
I am currently working on cooking and singing.

Uhh... Let's see...
Well, I'm pretty tech savvy. Particularly when it comes to computers. And I don't just mean in the typical sense of, "I know what parts go where and what to replace." I mean I can actually disassemble the damaged part and fix it instead of having to replace it in many cases, and I have a sort of natural understanding of how electronics in general work.
Other than that... I think I'm a pretty good writer. I used to be an above average singer, before puberty ruined my voice. I feel like I could make it sound at least somewhat good again with enough work, but I haven't put much effort into it yet.

Talents and skills:
1. I play guitar and double bass.
2. I can rap. Would like to cultivate this skill even further when my voice drops more.
3. I can tamper with HTML and CSS and would like to learn webdevelopment.
4. Put reason above emotion, it's worked great with heartbreaks.

Well let's see...
...
... I can procrastinate?
Well, I need to pick up the keyboard again, that's something I want to get good at. I also want to pick up bass. But I don't have any unique talents.

I can touch type. In my twenties I had the speed and accuracy for a receptionist
I can look at a serious of different coins and work out the amount it all equals quickly in my head
I can tell if an ambulace, police car or fire engine are coming by thier sierns
I can make highly alcholic drinks taste non-alcholic
I can tell the denomination of an Australin coin by the sound it makes hitting a hard surface
I can juggle three different multiple drink orders in my head give everyone the correct change, and remember who asked for drinks next. (Asking me to remember somebody's name. No)

Talents n Attributes...
Hrmmmm let me think...
I can play many instruments and probably own enough to have a small orchestra. I can pretty well fix anything that doesn't have a computer. I can rebuild old cars n trucks. I can drive in all the scary cities by myself with 10 lanes of traffic lol. All by myself lol. I have a pilot's licence. I have been told by many I have incredible touch for massage and able to remove sinus and pain issues as well as migraines . I can design and build plans from my head. Ummm... I have a soft hear and I love far too hard..... oh wait.... that isn't a talent lol... its a bad fault that's kinda nice. Except when it bite's me in the bum.

Oops..... I forgot.... I would like to work on becoming more settled in life instead of wanting to have so much that I don't need. I would like to have more friends because that warms my heart a lot. I have always been a social butterfly. And furthermore be easier on myself. Life is hard enough as it is. :0)

Talents:
I can somewhat play the guitar. Some say good and others don't care for my style. Mostly loud and dirty.
Wow, it's sad because that is the only talent I have.
Skills:
I can "pimp" my own guitars.
I can find anything in a mess. When it's put up is when I have trouble finding something.
I can spend money.
