I'm good at fixing things. It's great for saving money but it's not that I don't like it, I just get tired of having to do it all the time.

Failure.

I'm polarizing, both in a good and a bad way, and I always have been.

No matter where I've been or what I've been doing, people tend to remember me. I've ran into teachers decades after I was in their classrooms and they instantly called me by name and remembered something I said or did in class. Same thing with old jobs. When I started teaching, some of the office staff instantly said "welcome back!"

Even casual acquaintances seem to pick me out quickly. Last week a random person I admittedly didn't remember myself said "I remember you at Borders" (back when that bookstore chain existed) and remembered an argument I made and how heated it got about what was (at the time) my controversial opinion that refinancing mortgages was a very bad idea and the fact they were so aggressively pushed on TV was a sign that the entire thing was going to go tits-up. That person remembered my opinion because they were mad at me for saying they were making a mistake... and they wound up being between one house they couldn't sell when the recession started and another house they could no longer afford to pay for that they were trying to move in to.

I didn't hold that over their head; actually I was glad they crawled out of that mess and were doing better. It's harder to be mad at people in person.

I have a good musical ear, not in the way of perfect pitch but I can find nice chord progressions easily. Could call it musical visualization perhaps?

I have perfect pitch meaning I can hear a note and be able to tell you witch note it is and at which octave

I’m a perfect failure. If you hand me anything, no matter how complex or simple, I will fuck it up beyond all chance of repair and you will never figure out how it happened because even I don’t know.

I have really good hearing and I'm good at guessing pronunciation of people's names in certain languages.

I have fond memories of listening to conversations at the other end of the table at family gatherings. If we're out with a bunch if people, I'll listen to the various conversations.

Learning names/ correctly guessing how foreign names/words are pronounced

I’m pretty good at makin stuff that looks cool, good aesthetic instincts I guess I’d say

I can get people to trust me really quickly, genuinely acceptance of others comes easily for me and they can feel it

I can tell if it's not butter.

I don't think I have any natural talent really. Most of my talents come from dedication and grinding my way to getting good. I do think that I might have had some boosts up from natural ability but in general I believe that genetics plays a very small role in what a person can or cannot do.

I'm a quick learner paired with being stubborn enough to keep trying things until I gain success or I'm at least satisfied with my failure.

Mathematics, dance, and remembering song lyrics. I passed the first to all of my children and the last to two of them.

Self criticism

I am a maestro at taking out boogers out of my dog's eyes. All of that juicy goodness gone in a single scoop.

I'm ambidextrous and really good at tech support.

Getting wasted
