Hmmm...well....let's see here....
I love to sing, but I'm not sure how good at it I am....:winky
Let's not even talk about dancing. hee hee hee
I'm not very artistic although I try hard - I draw a bit, do some stuff with clay. :happy
I love to write, I write poetry and short stories, and have been known to write an article for a website once in a while...I feel that writing is my greatest talent. :supergrin
The only sport I regularly participate in is kicking ED butt...:kick and I'm pretty darned good at that one!! :muhaha

I sing and write mostly. I try to draw, but I'm usually not very good. Occasionally I draw something I'm proud of.

I can't sing to save my life and neither can I play a musical instrument :sad. I love to write though and I am probably best when it comes to writing poetry. I write a lot of philosophical and metaphysical themed poetry but my most successful ones tend to be satirical. I've had a couple of poems published in literary magazines and one anthology, and had one article published too. I want to write more, and keep intending to, but I often find it hard to motivate myself.
I am not amazing at sport (you should see me try and play basketball :muhaha ) but I'm a good swimmer and used to be an ok short distance runner before the ED and before I started smoking so much. I haven't run competitively since highschool so I have no idea how much worse I am now but I imagine the decline has been significant :ugh
I am okay at drawing and took Art at GCSE level. I only feel comfortable with pencil/chalk/charcoal/pastels though; I've never managed to master the techniques of painting :sarcasm
I'm only a good dancer when I've got a couple of drinks in me :winky but I love dancing, especially when there's a good bit of hip hop on :cousinit
Im an :drawpink Arty girl :drawgreen
Ceramics is my strongest subject at college. Im concentrating on Native american designs at the moment, and its so fun!
I also take Fine art... I love painting, mainly cubist style. I find that painting in a distorted way, frees your imagination and emotions, but also keeps them hidden, so that other people can interpret your work as they see it.
I hope to be taking an Art foundation course next year, before going to university. Im so sure that this is my 'thing' in life..
Art is fantastic for venting, and i love to just work all my anger away at the canvas.
Writing has never been that strong for me... ive always been a person who cant really put across what they want to say... ive had a poem published... but i was eleven at the time!! lol!
Im pretty musical too... i love to sing, i dont perform or anything, but i hope that one day i will. Ive played the piano and keyboard since the age of six, and although i dont play much anymore... i love to sometimes sit and compose a tune.
Hehe, oh, and like a load of other people, i was pushed into recorder lessons at school.. never really got a grip on that though!!
I like to play sports sometimes... team sports are the most fun!
I LOVE netball!!! Hehe, i always used to kick ass when i played for the school team, cuz i was so tall, i used to play in goal, and intimate all the little goal shooters!! :supergrin
I loved gymnastics too.. I had knee cartilage problems though, so i had to give that up.

:flower I'm great at B&W photography....won a number of awards when I was in school, but haven't been very active lately since I can't set up a darkroom in my apartment...
:flower I would love to learn how to paint...I have an easel and everything, just haven't gotten started yet :happy
:flower I would also love to learn to play the violin.....
As far as sports go..... :muhaha I'm terrible! I was pretty serious with ballet for a number of years, but probably would have been better if I hadn't let my self-consciousness, lack of belief in myself, and my ed get in the way. I also did tap for a while and :loved it. I was pretty good too :cheesy

:drawblue Writing!
i am finally able to say and be proud of this talent. i am over my humble-ness and am excited about my writing.
My professor has even recommended that i pursue a graduate degree in creative writing. i love it, i can't even express it in words (haha) how much writing means to me..

im a writer and i :love to paint, ive kinda gotten good at it. i like to make jewlery and am learning to knit. i also can dance :grin
:love whit
i love to sing! i'm really tone deaf (one of those people who can't sing a note!) but i still love it. i think it's pretty cool that i'm not ashamed at being so bad! it's just fun for me.
i am pretty good at writing. and for a long time i was so afraid i wouldn't be "good enough" and then i realized i could write just for me. now i write stories that i don't show anyone. maybe someday i will. but right now they make me feel really good, just being able to write them and express things.

I love :singing. People say I am good at it, but I still struggle with believing the compliments.
:drawblue I like to paint, draw, do collage, make jewelry, and write :drawpink.
Creativity is what keeps me alive :bounce I think.

:bullet play a musical instrument:notes
:bullet sew....some stuff:ohboy
:bullet do a human impression of a pretzel:sly Hooray for flexibility:yay

:muhaha pretezels! and smoking with toes!! I love it!!
hmm...my talents.
I have a rather unfortunate talent for remembering jingles! I'm every advertisers dream...I can remember the jingles for marmite, outspan oranges (cos small ones are more juicy naturally) etc etc going back ten years or more. It drives me potty!!!! If anyone can think of a way how I can make money out of this please let me know! :winky
I can make my cat come over and 'kiss' me just through body language. :grin (doesn't work on men,sadly). Ok, so I'm scraping the barrel here! I don't know what talents I have. I used to be told that I was quite talented as an artist and with certain subjects like English and philosophy at school. I can also bake a pretty good cake. I'd love to know what my talents are to help me with career choices.
love

This one is hard. Let's see...natural abilities? :ummm
:sun have always been incredibly flexible so I can do nearly every yoga position :surprise and ballet was also easy for me, both in terms of flexibility and technique. After a year of ballet I was put into the apprentice program with girls who were in dance all their lives. As a result I was hated :ugh but that's another story!
:sun somewhat musical I played the clarinet for ten years but I don't know that equates to 'talent' :sarcasm
:esp I have highly developed intuitive skills and have since I was a child. While we all have the ability to hone this skill it was there 'naturally' for me at a young agge
:sun good writer, especially humor
:sun great repor with children (is that a talent? :happy
:sun good critical mind
:loveHeartSoaring:love

I like to do a lot of performing arts...
I have been told I have a beautiful voice in the past three years... I had a lot of solos growing up, but I still don't know why. :singing
:notes I'm pretty good at french horn when I'm actually playing. I haven't played in like two years, though :cry
I am a good sailor.:dolphin
:bounce I love to dance. That doesn't mean I'm great, though. :muhaha I studied jazz for five years, ballet for one, and acrobatics for two. One kind of dance I've gotten compliments on many times, though: Flamenco. I swear I should have been born a latina. Oh, and I'll be taking intro to dance this coming semester. Intro?? :muhaha Easy A!:cousinit
I'm flexible, too. I can do a split two ways!
:baseball I'm pretty good at slow-pitch softball, if I do say so myself. This past season during intramurals, I was the lead off hitter for EVERY GAME!! Woohoo! By the way, the best words a batter can ever hear coming from the outfielders: "Back up!!" Hell yeah!!!:supergrin :yay
I'm a great swimmer. I used to compete when I was in grade school. Now I'm a lifeguard, and I can swim a five-hundred meter in about eight minutes (that's about ten laps). The only stroke I still think I suck at is Butterfly.:fishjump It's evil!
