Most people know I play the fiddle... Most don't know I play piano as well.. just not as good at it.

Does that count?

I can draw pretty well, but no one (except my family) really knows this. Maybe that's a good thing...this way, I don't have people knocking on my door at all hours asking me to draw banners.

i have a very hard time remembering people's majors, names, where they are from, birthdays etc... however, if i were to meet a person on any given day and not remember any of that previous stuff, i could tell them what they were wearing that day, what color it was, how their hair was styled... everything. not really much of a hidden talent... more of a graphic design habit...

i have become more partial to minor details.

I have that SAME thing, ChiDeltJen! My friends always make fun of me and say that my life revolves around clothes because when they start talking about someone, I'm like "Who? Oh yeah, the guy in the green polo and carpenter jeans..."

I remember what I was wearing the day of every big life event, and on all first, second, third dates with boys, etc...

I can pull stupid trivia out of know where, for any reason. My close friends make fun of me for it, but they find out how useful it is when we are on the same team for any trivia game.

I am 45 years old and have been shooting handguns since I was six, so after 39 years I am pretty good. I have been riding motorcycles for 31 years so I am pretty good at that too.

I'm like that too! I can do it for pretty much any day though - if I think about a random day in HS or college, I can probably tell you what I had on that day.

I'm also really good at trivia. Especially pop culture trivia. People won't even play You Don't Know Jack with me anymore

I'm not really sure if it is considered a talent but some how I can remember every little piece of useless information I come across...one of these days I'm going to get on Jeopardy and clean house!!!

SKRae and AOX, I'm with you on knowing every bit of useless trivia you come across. I clean up on Trivial Pursuit. So I tried out for Jeopardy last spring, and WOW that test is hard. They wanted to know the capitals of countries I'd never heard of before! So maybe I'll just stick with the Weakest Link.
