I actually have a reference (as in resume) in the LA area. Still working on my board certification though.

Dare I ask?

Que? (Hi. My name is Andy. I'm a little slow)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I can only doubt this was what PF hoped for.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well like you said, you can wait.

Actually I think I eschew references and would rather form my own opinions.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

probably true, but we get so little in life that we hope for.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

On the flipside, it's everything RJG could hope for.

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

really? I didn't think that was at all where he was going

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, don't mind me. I'm insane. *smacks skull w/shoe*

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

oops, you underestimate my hoping. and what I find amusing.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Why do I feel like this is suddenly my fault?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 00:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Touche

You've got mail.

I can put my leg behind my shoulder and kind of rest my inner knee on my shoulder. I can't really describe it. I can also stop soccer balls with my thighs apparently.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sorry, luna! finally checked it. I've been edifying myself.

(ally, you're just asking for it, ain'tchya?)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

I stopped a soccer ball with my nose once, but I don't categorize that as "something I'm good at it" (though really it was quite effective) so much as "things that sucked".

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm covered in bruises.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd suggest ice, but I worry that oops might sprain something.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

never stopped you before

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

You do have a point. I didn't want to drag Ally down into our filth, though.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, dude, seriously, I got busted in the rib really hard and I think I'm unable to breathe ever again.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

she secretly wants to be dragged down though

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm a damned good driver, if I do say so myself -- hundreds of thousands of miles under my belt with no accidents (well, a fender bender or two caused by being plowed into by a lesser opponent), plus stints on the treacherous roads of rural New Zealand and Ireland.

I can imitate Barney from The Simpsons pretty well, too. And, thanks to the tutelage of Chris "Buh" Butler, I developed a wickedly effective imitation of your stereotypical "otaku" indie-rock obsessive record buyer.

Other than that, fuggit, I'm worthless.

It's just a tissue bruise. You'll be fine and dandy in a day or two.

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

how do you know?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

If he says to trust him, he's a doctor, RUN

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Look behind you!
*poof*
too late

(I've had it happen many times)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

And the part about showing you his stethoscope, it's a trick!

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Shhhh! Don't be jealous.

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am not

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Don't fret my pet. I choo choo choose you!

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I promise I won't bend your wookiee. In a bad way...

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

I didn't know it could be done in a bad way

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 04:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm good at quite a few things. Maths. Table tennis. Lots of games, especially some computer games where I may be the best anywhere. IQ tests. Editing comics. Working quickly. Computer programming. I expert there are more, but I think I'm pretty near top of the range at all of those.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 25 April 2003 11:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

I expert

this slip shows a hidden vanity.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 25 April 2003 11:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

hidden?

Im a pretty decent baseball player. I play in a mens league. 3rd base, .333, 1hr and 10 rbi. I got hurt last night though. All this crush talk, I pulled a groin running. Now, I can't play for a week or so.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 12:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

and i can't do the running man for a week either.

Martin, how do you hold the paddle?

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 25 April 2003 12:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm not really GREAT at anything, but I'm not bad at a lot of things. I'm a good driver (no tickets in 16 years of driving, but I still speed almost everywhere), I can cook things and not make people sick, I'm ok at my job, I'm a pretty good baseball and basketball player, and at times I've been a pretty good guitar player (I think). I'm good at darts, too (a nice thing about being farsighted!). I'm good at tooting my own horn from the looks of this post, too.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 25 April 2003 12:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

Bryan is extremely good at clapping with only one hand.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 25 April 2003 12:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh yeah! That's the one thing I can kick pretty much anyone's ass at.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 25 April 2003 12:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm excellent at being a reclusive, social outcast. Not that this was something I aspired to.

I used to think I could draw. I decided I couldn't. Decide for yourself.

I still think I can write. But I could be wrong. I do a blog. Is that writing? I've been working on a novel for a few years and making little progress. (Extract here.)

I'm good at being sarcastic and making dirty jokes. This is nothing to be proud of, I feel.

Nothing else springs to mind.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 25 April 2003 13:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm a master at coasting through life, putting out the least amount of effort possible. I suspect I am not alone on ILX with this.

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Christine, thats really good. Draw more.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Supposedly I'm a pretty good rapper, "for a white dude" (the typical response at a mic-battle/freestyle is "damn, where'd YOU learn to rap like that?").

The special ladyfriend says I'm "a really good kisser", which is all I really care about.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

You are so cute about yr ladyfriend, nickalicious...awww.

Bryan is good at unnecessarily apologizing.

I'm good at Scrabble (gygax, let's play sometime...e me or something). At various times I've been good at foreign languages (which I've mostly forgotten), cooking/baking, playing the violin. Playing well enough, anyway, that people who know nothing about music rave about how fantastic I am and want me to play at their weddings. I prefer to play around those kind of people, as I actually think I kinda suck. I'm good at photography in a super-amateur sorta way.

I'm trying to find something to say that actually sounds meaningful/interesting but perhaps I'm not good at that.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Whens "9th Mile" coming out Nick.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ha! Prob'ly never. I don't have a harrowing inspirational tale to back it up with, it would be like "hey, here's this kid from the burbs who isn't hardcore at all, doesn't even try to be, looks like shaggy from scooby doo, but what? has game!?!".
