Once again, it’s time for Tell Me Thursday!
Are you a master at turning trash into art? Are you a walking sports almanac? I want to know! What are your unique or unusual talents?
Here are a couple of mine:
I’m a doodler. I can listen to a whole talk and doodle at the same time and not miss an important detail. For the record, I do know when to pause to write down an important point! I try not to doodle when I’m sitting in front of someone speaking, though. But sometimes it’s just too difficult to resist a blank space on a sheet of paper!
I spot errors really, really quickly. I’m almost ashamed at how fast I can notice what’s wrong, because even though it makes me a good editor, I’m always in danger of becoming overly critical. Whether they’re spelling errors or typos, or they’re errors in displays or designs, I spot them immediately. I’ve been learning how to pick my battles, be more gentle, and know when to bite my tongue and stay silent altogether. After all, I can be my own top critic too! Terrible!
How about you? What are your unique or unusual talents?

I dunno if it’s a special talent, but I can multi-task like crazy. I can do 5 things at the same time, and I can finish all of them (although of course not as excellently as I would want. hehe)
You are a superwoman! :)
uh, I can get a perfect score on the iPod Touch spelling bee game in 30 seconds…does that count? LOL
haha nice one!!!
It’s Thursday already?! Oh my.
I doodle as well, and since I do work as an editor, my skill for spotting typos and grammatical errors does come in handy :)
I also crochet (but lots of people do, so that may not be so unique or unusual). And I do makeup. And design gift tags/invitations/business cards/stationery for my friends. I once made hand-painted and hand-cut stationery. Are those unique enough? I dunno.
Hey, I don’t know a lot of people who crochet anymore so that’s cool!!!
And hand-painted and hand-cut stationery is awesome!
I am a movie trivia FREAK. Watch a movie with me and I will most likely give you 5-10 pieces of trivia about the entire cast.
I am a “name that tune and the artist behind it” freak as well. And I pretty much dig any genre (except house, heavy metal, and jazz) from the 60s-present–I often end up surprising more “mature” folk when it turns out I know a lot of stuff from their era :)
And I can bend my index finger backwards….(lame I know haha)
AND! you are a photo tagging freak too!!!! haha!
HAHAHAHA OO NGA NO!!! pero parang di yun talent…lol annoying quirk lang pala as i’m sure kiks will agree hahahahahaha ;)
janina can lick her elbows if that’s considered. :)
