No, no, you have to say I am generally exceptionally athletic. A prodigy, if you will.

Tee-hee..yeah, I like physical activity too. I can't go a day without some sort of physical exertion, if I do I feel like a frump.

Tennis rocks. It's one of the best all-over body work-outs you can do. I think it exercises most of the muscles in your body if you're playing a good, swift game. Swimming is like that too. I LOVE swimming!

I'm double-jointed in a few places, but most freakily in both thumbs.

I write but not prolifically. It's a major struggle to get anything finished.

I am pretty short on skills, particularly unprintable ones. I used to be a bit of an athlete - when I was about 15 I was in the British top 10 for my age for the 100m. These days my main skill is driving - I cover around 60,000 miles a year without an accident since 2000 (cue major accident tomorrow

) I have also raced cars, at least until my money ran out

I was good at it though

Other than that, my skills include masterfully compiling mindblowingly pointless lists of things, and avoiding unnecessary people

Those skills kick ass.

I draw portraits. I'm pretty good at assemblage and collage. I write stories, songs and poems. I sing and play guitar (somewhat). I'm a decent baker.

Oh, and I'm extremely skilled in cleaning up after my husband.

I'm a good writer. I'm a good actor. I played bass for a number of years and often think about picking it back up. I think I'm a good cook too

Lesse. I'm good at making films and stuff. Editing, directing writing, etc. I'm told i'm an okay stand up, and I'm not that bad at piano. Not, like, Christine, but for a 14 year old, I'm pretty good.

I am good at writing procedures.

I write tons at work and I love it.

I can knit. Scarves only. I am attempting a dishcloth. But I started it months ago and got bored.

I can play piano. Not that good ... but I know where all the notes are.

I am a kick-ass speller.

I had waited on looking for a literary agent or publisher because I wanted to get feedback from at least one more reader first. I gave it to Josh to read and he told me he'd finished it and would send me his thoughts, but then he abruptly went AWOL and my inquiries have received no reply. Anybody know what's going on with him????

Anyway, I also gave it to an offline friend of mine whose only input was that he hated my ending (What is it with people who insist on happy endings???) and that I should make the book be the first of a series (Dip**** doesn't realize and can't seem to understand that I have squeezed my imagination dry of ideas for these characters after six years of writing them). So all that's really left is for me to write a "pitch" to send to publishers/agents along with my manuscript to get them interested in it.

I've been told I'm a pretty good photographer by people who've seen my pictures. No formal training though.
