    Draw. But I'm just too **** at it. I tried for years to get better but I've never been good. I'd love to be able to draw. Some of my friends have me in awe with their talents. They're really gifted. But no, I'm just an evil genius with a disposition to suicidal tendency. (Bad joke)
    Honestly though I'm not particularly talented at anything. Average at lot of things. I'm about as plain as you can be, bland, boring and generic.

    I'd really love to be good at art though. I just have to accept I wouldn't be. I don't think it's something you learn really though if you just don't have "it".
    I like to be good at something.

    Would would other boardsies like to be good at that they're not?
    You're good at talking ****e:P

    Id love to be able to sing :( was talking to someone on video chat earlier, thought my mic was off......singing away for ten minutes before he told me he could hear me!!!

    Dance! I'm fooking useless. I did tap and jazz dancing when I was a teenager and I wasn't great back then either. I was always the one tripping over my feet and forgetting the steps. I loved it though. I suppose it doesn't matter if you're great at something as long as you enjoy it.

    Actually considering restarting tap n jazz dance classes sometime later in the year. Maybe I'd be better at it now that I'm not a self-conscious teen?

    Like yourself OP, I don't have any outstanding talents but then I think most people don't. Only the minority are exceptional at something. I'm okay with that, actually.

    I'm definitely not. Perhaps I should be, but I'm not. I am determined to excel in something and I will. Or die trying.

    ...play drums. Used to drum for a couple of bands (didn't get anywhere...not that I/they were serious...more for fun), then shot my knee out (and need surgery) so I've been a grumpy boll*cks since. :(

    But OP, have you tried picking up/going to classes/books/dvd's?

    You won't believe me but I actually have very little time. I train everyday during the week and have music lessons and matches to play.

    I've tried drawing some anime lately. Never really been into it but I kinda like the style. Just copying pictures mostly. I'll post one.

    Oh don't get me started. I'm going to take 20mg of Stilnoct now and try and get some kip. The only negative is the hangover you have in the mornings. I have found Valium quite useful too, which is strange to me because it only has relaxing properties not meat to induce sleep. Stay away from herbal ****e, it doesn't work in my experience, but then again it might work for you so maybe do give it a try.

    Yea some of it is actually so amazing. I'm starting to love it actually. I went to see an anime film last year in Dundum! I just can't remember the name of it but from then I've kind of gained an interest.

    Ah, poor lad. I'll be getting a bit of the same I think.
    On Friday night a spider actually did crawl on to my bed and I jumped with the FEAR.
    Have you ever seen the rats running up the wall?
    I remember being 18 and drinking every day for 2 weeks on holiday with not even a hangover:(
