I can...
 

The thread to brag about your many abilities.

I can...

...bake awesomely good Christmas Cookies. See "Holiday baking" thread for details.

...raise one eyebrow up independently of the other. Oh, I can also wiggle my ear - now that'stalent.

...take nice photos. I'm not a pro by any means, but my subjects are centered, I don't cut heads off, I try to get nice backgrounds, etc. Friend & fam always wants copies.

...drive well in the snow. Not too fast, but not too slow either. I can drive the speed limit, keep control of the car & not slide around all over the place unlike these asses that I live near.

...keep in touch. I try really hard to stay in contact with friends & fam, even if we're miles apart & don't see eachother anymore. I think it's really important.


What can you do? :)

I can make a perfect pie crust. I finally mastered it. For some reason it helps if the water you add is ice cold.

I can flip my eyelids inside out.

#1 -you b*tch (see "holiday baking" thread.)

#2 - that's gross. (that has alwasy freaked me out.)


:lol: I'm just so happy someone finally replied to the I Can thread. There are 9 replies to the I Can't thread. :(

yeah..but most of them are not about the "i can'ts" *L*

o.k....for better or worse..


I can

DRIVE damnit!! no matter WHAT my husband says.

not only because of that.....:cool: ;)

Be a good friend. I'm usually been better to my friends than my family members. hmmm...that's another discussion and tear jerker waiting to happen. haha

...sing fairly well...I guess. LOL

...play a bit of guitar.

...roll my r's AND raise my eyebrow. Hehe. ;)

...assemble furniture with power tools. :laugh:

...swim very well.

...shoot a gun.

...spel prety god.

I can read and write Braille. I'm working on getting transcriber's certification and I've been asked to teach a visually impaired student at my school the basics of reading it so he doesn't have to depend on large print so much.

I can communicate in basic sign language (and if she's really desperate, my mom can too).

I can teach anyone over 3 years old how to play piano.

I can navigate my way around Houston :blob1:

...and I think that's about it. I'm not even going to go into what I can't do, I'd be here all day.

I make really good fruit pies.

I can play over ten different musical instruments.

I can write orchestral arrangements.

I do a blistering karaoke version of "Kashmir" by Led Zep.

I can sleep through anything.

I can speak to and communicate with people from all walks of life with grace (thanks to my parents).

:lol: It took me a long time to learn to make a good pie crust. I would get so pissed sometimes and it would take me forever. Now, I can roll em out like nothing.

I can....

Hmmmmmm

I went to Le Cordon Bleu en Paris and cooking school at Villa D'este - yet I cannot bake to save my . . . . Go figure :shrug: That being said, I can make a Cornish Hen to die for :)

You're kidding.




:cool:

That is because fruit can break down very rapidly when heat is applied with sugar. I suggest using only fresh fruit (ahem Tower) and natural sugar (unrefined) - :cool:

to wit:

Personally, I think I was a little too Ethel in "Gyspy" in this - but pipes I have :shrug:

Aw, thank you. :xoxo:

I just saw the first LOTR not long ago on TBS (I think it was), and then last Sunday, I finally saw The Two Towers. I need to see ROTK. I really enjoyed them, but I always dig that type of stuff. I just can never find anyone to go see those type of movies with me.

IMO - The Two Towers was the best, though all were great, esp. the extended editions. Come to Atlanta and we can watch them all in my ex's home theatre currently being built :eek:

Oh, don't listen to him. The Two Towers is the weakest by far. The best is The Fellowship of the Ring extended version. :nod:

You are a better person than I.


I can...

- make a pretty good roast chicken dinner

- pick out great gifts for the people I love

- write some pretty good TV on a fairly regular basis

- fall hopelessly in love with people who don't know I'm alive

You know, Christy, if we lived closer I'd have to fix you up with my brother. I don't why exactly, but I just think you two would really click. :nod:

Js....
 

Hehe. We would eh?

Email me a picture (head shot, profile and full body), full stats (height, weight, favorites, etc.), a blood sample and I will check into it.

:lol:

Draw (Won so many stupid ass art awards as a kid that it became annoying to me) Whereas most kids drew stick figures and rainbows I drew WWII battle scenes and my teachers asked where did that influence come from...Hell if I knew, I just drew what I pictured in my mind.


Do Algebra (In my high school you had to have 4 credits of Algebra to graduate-The 4 credits had to be in either Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Algebra 3, Trigonometry, Trig 2 or Computer Science Math)


Beat anyone at "Name that Tune"....Hehehehe!!!


Be an asshole when annoyed!!!


Keep my sense of humor no matter how tragic everything in my world seems to go.


And finally collect cd's/tapes/LP's/etc. like a packrat (Collecting s a family hobbie, Everyone in my family collects something, And yes we all take it to the extreme!)

put together *and* take apart an entire computer system in under 20 minutes. For a girl I am good with all things technology. Hah!

function properly on only a couple of hours of sleep.

decorate. I think I missed my calling as an interior designer.

listen to a song once or twice and sing along with it perfectly the third time. My mind has an endless storage capacity for lyrics and words. In highschool I only had to read a text once or twice to get an A for my exam.

play poker and actually win.

I can't think of anymore...my list for the 'I can't's' would be longer. ;)

I can do that with X-Files. ;)

also be a good wife, mom, sister, daughter & friend~

I have to say that one was FAB as well!!!!!! :woohoo:

I went a lecture on IT the other day. It was well done, but the weirdos eventually took over the Q&A afterward with movie bashing. I get that the movie was in no way as good as the books and Jackson took many liberties to cater to the "kids," e.g. the prolonged battle scenes that took like four pages in the book - but the movies were IMO a magnificent and motly faithful homage to the books. IMO, there should have been five movies - oh alrighty 10 :laugh:

BTW - on topic - I CAN talk LOTR all day long.

If they still stood, may the lights of Laurelin and Telperion shine on you, filling you with bliss and wisdom :nod:

- hum/sing or play along (guitar) with a song the first time I hear it
- remember a lot of lines from star trek voyager, especially Janeway's :D
- do a pretty good Stevie whenever I have a cold
- do a lot of accents (dutch and english) (well... I bet a native english speaker would probably say I CAN'T ;) )
- tell someone to piss off, eloquently (and they don't expect it from me because I'm the quiet type) (which makes it a lot more fun)
- stand pain (especially headaches) and go on with whatever activity

I can.....

Bend my fingers backwords to where my fingertips touch the backs of my hands. :eek:
