Runecrafting and Fletching on Runescape probably!

Seriously though, I'm good on my keyboard. I mostly play songs by ear.
I've never been able to read music.

Possibly cooking; I couldn't boil an egg or cook pasta with certainty before university, but now I'm pretty good at deciding what will work well together, knowing how to tell if food's cooked properly, that sort of thing. It rarely looks professional but it generally tastes good =P

Changing nappies without a mat and keeping the carpet clean, that's a skill I pride myself on.

I'm still pretty proud of my pixel art, but I'm incredibly rusty.

Also I can sing and drum the cups song from Pitch Perfect, which has earned me free drinks before \o/

Look at all of you that can drive, like real grownups.. I really should get around to doing that, but I'd be such a skittish driver D:

Definitely competitive battling, but I kinda feel like that's boring to say at this point.

I've gotten quite good at spriting, I'd say, and continue to push myself into harder things to sprite, but my ambition fades if it's not something I care about spriting, so that hinders progress a lot.

I've been told I am a great leader by many and I have been nominated for multiple conferences and stuff like that by school administrators. Same for my brother.

Leadership aside, i've been told i'm also a "good soldier", so to speak. I guess I do most tasks assigned usually with no questions asked or too much complaining.

I'm starting to get good at cooking, although I do burn a couple pancakes here and there.

Last, I guess I have been told I have some skill in competitive battling. Still need to get breeding down, but some said I have a bright future ahead in battling.

I have several. I can drive a standard shift car with ease, I can parallel park nicely (although I haven't done it in years!), I know spellings and grammar usage pretty well, I can change oil AND the filter in a car, check tire pressure and add in the correct amount needed if low, use a credit card payment machine, make some REALLY good shrimp fried rice, and learning martial arts.

^Yesyes! I can play children's songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Hot Cross Buns by cracking my jaw.

I quite like my skills with training animals - it's a lot of fun. I'd only considered this when I thought recently how amazing my parrot is; when I first adopted him he was difficult but now he'll happily be looked after/ handled by other people when I need him to be. I have trouble getting his previous owner to believe me when I tell her he's learnt something new.

I've also a cat who I teach new tricks every now and then, like this guy.

One more skill I have: I can play songs pretty well on the keyboard and piano by ear. I taught myself how to play the Entertainer and Fur Elise this way!

I've been known to be a bucket of useless info. However, sometimes i'm able to recall some of that info and it wins an argument for me.

 Apparently I'm excellent when it comes down to steaming clothes? My old boss would compliment my work all the time and shift me to steaming... truth be told, I just think everyone was crap at it.

 Definitely putting it on my CV.

Well, I have this "coach" mentality where i'm encouraging my teammates, well everyone, and basically trying to help. It also is handy for, apparently, annoying the other team. The people at bowling don't mind, but people at school are less forgiving. Ah well, as long as someone is helped.
