Impressive?

So when I was young, my parents knew right away that since I wasn’t that cute and wouldn’t have that great of a personality, I needed to have talents. Lots and lots of talents. To anyone who knows me, I have an array of talents ranging from really useful (not really) to completely random (I like knowing things).

So here’s a list of skills (that my father hoped would gain me friends)

Piano
Violin
Animal balloons
Origami
Hula hooping (more than the usual use)
Spinning flags, rifles and sabers (I was really popular in high school)
Making friendship bracelets (Wanna be BFF’s?)
Bowling (recent talent I just discovered)
Scaffolding (specifically getting teenagers to build it and take it down)
Face painting (confederate flags on children’s faces)
Making flower / feather hair clips (mediocre at best)
Gymnastics
Steaming milk to 160 degrees without a thermometer
Juggling
Efficiently doing things (like factory line work)
Explaining the space time continuum
Talking like Donald Duck
Dead facing
Making paint graphs without any sort of scientific data
French braiding hair
Collecting dresses
Learning how to do things on the internet (driving a stick, changing a tire, waxing a surf board)


So there you have it. In addition to being really awesome (not really), I have a whole set of talents that makes me really fun at parties (but I mostly just like drinking).


An example of my skills: graphs with no scientific basis to them at all.



(I hope my next job lets me blog during work hours)

I want sharing! Pham
