I have never suffered a broken bone.
I get out of bed every morning. (Sometimes several times.)
I can (sometimes) type with more than two fingers.
My memory is so good that. . . I forgot what I was going to say.
I can, more often that not, give full lyrics for a song I’ve heard from one line but not know the title or artist.
I can almost comprehend the rules of Magic: The Gathering right before they get revised.
I am acquainted with at least half of the concepts of dragons in literature.
I can watch an entire episode of Full House without screaming.
I got an A and a comment that I “should consider at least minoring in [subject]” from the professor that reportedly made students cry in class regularly.
I have never gotten a hangover.
I got a 3 on the English AP exam without taking AP English.
I attract cats.
What is with you people not getting hangovers? NOT FAIR!
If anyone’s keeping track, I was extremely hungover when I took my ACT’s. And I still did pretty well.
I taught myself how to french braid hair, and I do it better than anyone I’ve ever seen.
I can name all 50 states in alphabetical order. Whoo hoo!
I can also type 120 words a minute.
Gosh, this has been so much fun to read, that I just have to play too.
Let’s see…
I’m a good cook but a lousy housekeeper. (Can you say dustballs?)
I am a bartender with 15yrs experience but don’t drink.
I can’t drive a car.
I have never cared for people who tell you: their grades, their salaries, the price of their stereos or cars.
I have travelled extensively in the third world for no other reason than it draws me like a magnet.
I only speak english, but I can understand very well that half english language that non-english speakers frequently use.
All dogs like me, I can’t explain it but it’s true.
I love animals.
I’m not a very good gardener but I am persistent.
I have spent time in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal.
And I walked the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.
I travel well, because peoples of the third world seem to take to me.
I smile easily.
I have the sharpest, pointiest elbows you ever saw. (They fit right in as I am a stick person)
I do not believe there is any special virtue in being thin or rising early.
I have no debts.
And I know which fork is for the fish!
I am a unique and excellent dancer - my dance teacher has said she loves my dancing, I always get several compliments whenever I perform, I have had people ask me if I was going to perform & been disappointed that they had missed it and I got asked to perform at a seminar this summer. In addition, I was complimented for one performance by Dalia Carrella, who is a nationally known teacher & Gypsy style dancer & is one of my Dance Heroes.
I can make the vi editor sit up and do tricks.
I can string beads while reading, or in the dark. I’ve been getting a lot of beading done lately.
I suspect that if I delved into the literature deeply enough, I would find my own name in research on Attention Deficit Disorder.
I read enough about witchcraft in middle school that I was able to do a research paper in high school & one in college…from memory.
But I’ll never win at Trivial Pursuit, because of the sports questions.
Here’s a couple more things I forgot…
I’ve read every SD book at least twice…a few 4 or 5 times.
I have naturally curly, naturally red hair.
I know who Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan, and Django Reinhart are.
I always use coasters.
I’m not college educated (like Shirley, I quit college for work & life, and do not regret it), but I know how not to starve.
I’ve never had more than one orgasm myself in a sexual encounter, but I’ve caused men to have more than one. 
-
I can break stacks (6-7 pieces, sometimes that seventh piece sticks) of concrete (2" x 6" x 16") (non-baked, non-“special recipe”, and not those super long ones).
-
I do a really nifty double thumb board break (impresses the locals)
-
I can also do a true “iron shirt” display (that impresses the locals too).
-
I actually understand the realities of modern day self defense (believe me … this is rare).
-
I was awarded an Award of Honour for my work in the martial arts. This was awarded by my instructor. It is no doubt, my most prized physical possession.
-
I have very very fast reflexes. I have a million stories of them. One of my favorites is: One day we were sitting in a restaurant, and the waitress walking by had a glass of water fall off her tray. Although the water spilled I did catch the glass even though it was falling in my peripheral vision only and fell without a sound. I didn’t even stop talking to my friends when I caught it.
-
I play a mean game of Trivial Pursuit: Star Wars, but the darn pink questions (Entertainment) always get me in regular Trivial Pursuit.
I took the ACT in the middle of a debilitating bout of stomach flu and still scored a perfect 36 on the English part (34 overall).
I’m 6’4" and weigh over 300 pounds but I still dance like no one’s watching if the song’s good enough.
I can sing like Sinatra, like Louis Armstrong, or like Harry Connick jr, whichever fits the song. But I usually don’t…I have my own style that I prefer because I don’t have to concentrate on it.
I can make anyone laugh.
I give people great orgasms and I give people great hugs…and I can usually tell which one to give.
I am such a good cook that no one ever seems to turn down an invitation to come over for dinner after coming over the first time. But I am lousy at making baked goods.
I am usually the smartest person in the room, but I don’t annoy people with it (and the SDMB has been a valuable experience for me).
I strongly dislike things that make me feel stupid (auto repair is at the top of the list).
I have a knack for writing about food; back when I was writing my restaurant column, people were always telling me I could really make them taste what they were reading about.
I can get along with nearly anyone and I don’t have any prejudices that I still give in to…except that I have a very limited tolerance for ignorant people. Not stupid people, at least the ones who are stupid because of physiology.
I can almost always figure out how to do something with a little time, but I am the last person you want to ask to teach you something, because I’m impatient and must fight the tendency to assume that you should understand something as quickly and easily as I did.
I’m arrogant (as the above shows) but I can back it up…and I’m charming enough that most people let my arrogance slide.

I’m not popmpus &
I don’t have my head up my ass
So fun!!
I was extremely precocious up until about high school - then I decided to stop working very hard. But I still graduated college w/ high honors.
I was reading Nancy Drew books in the 1st grade.
I am a very good dancer. And I don’t mean, like, “club” dancing - I mean technical jazz dancing. With very little formal training, I managed to dance in college and last week I made the dance team for a major professional sports team. Whoo-ee!
I taught myself to french braid hair and it’s too bad that it’s not trendy anymore because I’m damn good at it.
I can memorize song lyrics extremely quickly and accurately. I know all the words to Barenaked Ladies’ One Week, Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire, and Savage Garden’s I Want You.
I am a fast learner. Sports, dance, school, work - you name it, I pick it up quickly.
I can throw together a bunch of leftover ingredients and make a great meal. Of course, it helps that my boyfriend will eat anything.
I, also, am undefeated at Scrabble. NOBODY beats me. Of course, nobody will play me anymore either so I’m out of practice.
I have very healthy hair.
I have never vomited for any other reason than being exceptionally intoxicated.
Oh! And I give perfect driving directions.
I can only think of one thing right now – despite the fact that I have never had a day of musical training, I taught myself to play the guitar and bass quite well. I also have an excellent ear, and am quite good at learning songs right off the radio or off recordings by ear. I can nail the key on the first or second try, and barring some really esoteric chords to which I’ve never been exposed, can have the progression down within 10 minutes.
I can juggle clubs, knives, balls, beanbags, small woodland creatures.
I am ambidextrous.
I have never broken a bone.
I can sing well. I do an amazing impression of Eddie Vedder, Elvis, and Donovan.
I can make cheesecakes and pretty much bake anything.
I can lick my eyebrows with my tongue…alright that’s an exaggeration…but I can touch my nose.
I can wiggle my ears and make my nostrils flare.
I have no difficulty making the live long and prosper sign with either hand.
I look really good in a suit.
I can do impersonations of Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, Scooby Doo, Mickey Mouse, Sean Connery, and Patrick Stewart.
Talk like Yoda I do.
hmm
That’s all my redeeming qualities.

Beautiful green eyes and a nympho?
When do you come up to Seattle?
I made a 700 in the Verbal portion of the SAT and a 540 in the Math portion, which equivilates into 95th and 59th national percentile respectively.
I can fit four quarters into my nose.
As a small child, I taught myself to read at the age of four and read encyclopedias and National Geographics for fun.
As a small child, I used to scale the walls of my playpen and hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.
I can charm cats.
I’m working on charming people.
My lineoleum prints have been in local art shows.
