I can...

[skcin]

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

...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).

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.

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!!!)

Turn my eyelids inside out

I can alter to my voice to sound like the automated, AOL girl.

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) -
