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.

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.

Johnny Stew 12-15-2005 11:41 PM

I can....

Draw/Paint (and I was just invited to display some of my artwork in the vestibule of the new performing arts center here in town, when they have the grand opening next June!!!)

Be a good friend and make people feel good about themselves

Turn my eyelids inside out

Procrastinate better than anyone I know

Raise one eyebrow

Do the "Live Long & Prosper" thing with my fingers

Do a couple of things that should not be discussed in mixed company! :shocked:

GypsySorcerer 12-15-2005 11:47 PM

I can play the piano and flute, though I haven't recently.
I can pick out appropriate gifts for people that they really like.
I can alter to my voice to sound like the automated, AOL girl. :lol:
I can listen really well and give pretty good advice.

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:
