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

Look behind you!

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

Shhhh! Don't be jealous.

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

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

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.

this slip shows a hidden vanity.

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?

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!?!".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Nick, you and my friend should battle. You're both skinny (and tall?) white boys who gots rhymes like dimes. He makes me sick: on New Year's he made his public 'debut', grabbing the mic at a party and freestyling for like 5 minutes straight. You could see all the girlies swoon. He's obscenely intelligent and quick-witted so he gives you more than just the 'yo yo, I'm abouts to flow, this is how we go, yo yo' when freestyling. Next time he comes back from Cali I wanna go to some open mic sessions and back him on dee drums.

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Two of my friends and I are "playing" our acoustic guitars tomorrow night at a club. Im nervous and let you know how it goes. A big twee jam. So I guess I'll tell you later if Im good at that.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thanks, Chris. That drawing is a year old... last time I attempted anything remotely serious. I did do a cartoon of myself for the blog a while ago, but ultimately I felt photos of me were funnier. :) (Well, scarier, at least.)

I've had an urge to draw something lately, but I don't seem to get round to it. I have a proper drawing desk, too -- now 18 years old and very filthy and lived in. (Mom bought it for one of my birthdays, thinking perhaps that I was a genius and would make big money and therefore needed the proper tools of the trade. *sigh*)

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

I bet Chris rocks the house. In that low-key twee style of course.

The other day, I saw this guy I've known for years at a pub, who was trashed, and he told me "I remember a few years back, when you [hiccup] flowed at this field party [hiccup], and got these girls all horny, and I [hiccup] had sex with both of them that [hiccup] night!" And I was like, "that's funny, I DIDN'T GET NUTHIN!" But that's okay, cuz he was puking in the bushes outside like 3 minutes later.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

was it me?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Its going to be tough to rock Nick Drake. But, ya know we got our own style.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

hm. here's what I'm good at:

I make up songs that get stuck in people's heads.
I'm good enough on the guitar to play the songs I make up.
I can sing well if I think about it.
I can write and draw comics better than I think.
I know how to write a good love letter.

― martin mushrush (mushrush), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

I used to do comics. Or try to. I wasn't good/committed enough to draw them myself, though, and trying to find someone good to draw my scripts was apparently futile. So I got sick of it.

Here's out little advert.

I'm good at playing that one game where you shoot deer!

― Mandee, Friday, 25 April 2003 14:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

hunting?

YOU THINK IT'S A GAME MOTHERFUCKER!

― bambi (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Games... I was good at one game in my life, and that was Tapper on the C64. So long ago I was still in school! I got good enough that one night I got up to a million and had to switch it off. Never really played it again. I was almost proud of that.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 25 April 2003 14:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

C64! I MISS C64!

Julia, I really don't feel that my apologies are unnecessary. I don't know if it's that I'm Canadian or just an idiot, but I always feel it's necessary. I'm trying to curb it, though. The fact that everyone around here is so talented is what brings me back.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 25 April 2003 16:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

hunting! That's it! Yeah, I'm really good at it.

― Mandee, Friday, 25 April 2003 16:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

I can make a crying baby stop crying or a whining toddler stop whining in under 3 minutes

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 16:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

It takes them that long to stop breathing when you smother them with a pillow? I did not know that.

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

she doesn't use a pillow!

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 16:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

ssssshhhhhhhh

I can make a grown man start crying in under 3 minutes

― I'm luna (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 16:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

Tis true.

I'm good at gettin busy with the ladies. But we already know this.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 25 April 2003 16:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I loved Commodore 64 games. I OWNED Crazy Caveman! I was kinda good at it too.
