I am able to stare at any woman, and have her fall in love with me. The bad part of my talent is that I lack aim. Oh the stories I could tell you about scary truck drivers following me home after accidentally giving them a glance.

I used to do the foot thing in High School Phys Ed. I made one of the Subs for the class pass out. I started screaming that my foot was broken and then I walked toward her with it facing behind be. She dropped to the ground. I felt kind of bad, but oh well. It is very difficult to get in trouble when your father was the principal of your school.

Aw, dc1, that's so great!!!! I have a guitar that someone gave me, and I've been TRYING to teach myself, to no luck . (I can't find the guitar book in my house.) Do you have any tips?

Newbie,
Guitar is REALLY easy once you learn the basic chords... I just got an "intro to guitar" book and learned the basic chords, then started to put the chords together. I also started to listen to folk type songs (as they use simple chords) and played along by ear. Once you get one or two songs down (which take some time and patience) then the rest is easy to figure out. I play alot of traditional Celtic songs, cause they seem to be the easiest.

If I can do it, then I know you can learn to play too! Good luck and have fun learning.

Faced with the Divine, I was asked; "What one gift do you seek?"
I answered ever so meekly; "I seek Honor, Truth, Integrity, and Wisdom, yet those are four. How am I to choose?"
The answer came as a pounding whisper; "The four you seek are but one. I grant thee Compassion; for without it the four make none."

Have fun learning!

Okay, I have been thinking about this for awhile, and the only talents I seem to have are:
Acumulating the largest amount of debt in the shortest time
tripping and falling down over everything (also known as being The Most Uncoordinated Person Known to Man)
Ruining everysong on the radio by singing waaaaaay off-key
Making myself look stupid by saying the most random things possible unententionally

The last one actually is not bad, b/c everyone comes to me to cheer them up!
