Weird skills?

[Leslie Anne]

I can match just about any color on earth by mixing/blending paints. I can see something once, remember the color and recreate it nearly perfectly weeks later. If color copiers hadn't been invented I could have had a great job.

I can do the Star Trek hand sign thing (don't know what it's called...not a Trekkie) and alternate it with switching to pinky and index finger out.

I can also do a really good imitation of a squealing pig. (yes, insert comment here.) Most people try to do it with their nose but it's actually a throat thing.

Oh, I can also curl my tongue and flip it over, but only on one side.

All completely useless.

i'm not great with real time, but am good with counts, like music or counts to hold a stretch. In jr high, I was in band and never understood why we needed that timer thing (metranome?). I didn't realize that other people couldn't keep track of counts like me.

not completely useless, but I never use it.

The Vulcan salute... I can do that too.

I can also raise each eyebrow independently of the other, just like Spock.

I'm like this too. I can also write with both hands (there's some fancy word for it, but I'm too hungover to try to spell it).

Ambidextrous!

I've been trying for YEARS to teach myself to be ambidextrous! Ever since I read the BSC book when Claudia's grandmother, Mimi, had that stroke () and she couldn't use her right hand anymore and had to be taught to use her left. At random times, I just start practicing writing with my left hand. I'm a lot better than I was, but I think that's just because my hands are more coordinated--after all, my handwriting's better period, not just with my left.
