Intriguing Facts About You...

Everyone has a talent for something specific, or indeed it could be a series of talents spread across a vista of different things. In the latter case, you're a jammy bastard...

It doesn't just have to be talents per say, it can be absolutely anything you believe is worthy of being posted here. Dont be shy.

I can pop my own kneecap out of place and make people really cringe...does this count?

I can also set my hand, or other body parts, on fire and feel nothing.

I can:
1. Sleep in sitting position
2. Extinguish the cigarette with a tongue
3. Always win in blackjack as long as the deck is in my hands

and now I guess there's something that will definitely come as a surprise considering my metal taste. I can play violin I actually studied in the musical school for 7 years. Finished when I was 13. I aslo had to play a bit of piano but could never play anything aside from the Waltz of the Puppies
Acoustic guitar was a bit more succesfull but I lacked the commitment.

Niiiiiice...next time you're in England, we're hitting the casino in Coventry, buddy!

Well, as for me:

1. I'm a surprisingly good archer. So good, in fact, I was told I have a natural's technique and style. *Beams with pride*

2. I can belch entire songs, with only minimal side-effects.

3. I have deja-vu a lot...yup, it's back with a vengeance.

Hmm, might add more later on.

Random facts about EidonOfTheFist:

1) You know those portable classrooms they have at some schools? We had two at my Elementary School. One day I climbed up there and couldn't get down, and I ended up spending almost the entire night there before my parents found me.

2) Similar to Mits, I have deja vu a lot. But mine is kind of odd. It's retroactive deja vu, if you will. Meaning, I'll do something, and not experience deja vu, but a few hours or days later I'll remember it and I could swear that wasn't the first time I'd done that, even though at the time I knew it was the first. You know how some people see double? I remember double.

3) I can fart at will. This seems odd, and I can't always do it. If I've been farting a lot, I can't, but for the most part I can fart whenever. And not in the 'oh, I can fart! *fart*' sort of way. More in a 'I'm gonna fart... *flex* *fart*' sort of way. Though when I was learning how I nearly wet myself, which was awkward.

Wow! You've all got really interesting things about yourselves. Even the weird are interesting.

This isn't always seen as a good thing, especially because I'm not a cop or anything, but I can shoot really well. Despite the fact I can't see very well, whenever I use my b-b gun, I can always hit my target with pinpoint accuracy.

Hahaaaaa! You got stuck on one of them?! I can just picture your face when you realised you couldn't get down...and then the ashamed call to your parents...sorry, I just find this sort of thing hilarious, in a sadistic sort of way.

And that farting thing is a recipe for disaster, dude...

I didn't have a cell phone, so I couldn't phone them... I was in so much trouble when they found me. They'd called the police and everything...

4) I broke my wrist playing footbal in Yr 6 and never did anything about it so the bones still pointing out!

I lettered in riflery in high school. We won both District and Regionals!

I played with Star Wars and Star Trek action figures when I was little instead of Barbie dolls. My favorite was the talking Riker figure I had... I wonder where it is now...

I like moose burgers. And where I live, that's not weird.

I can read Norse runes.

1) I've killed a rattlesnake after it bit my leg by grabbing it's tail and flicking it in the air.
2) I can use my toes as if they were fingers... Well sort of, I can pick up many different objects with one foot, though I can't type with them.
3) I can't think of anything else that would be intriguing.

I'm...an entirely average person, sadly. No skills of note...

I have the same birthday as the theologian John Calvin, after which both the character from Calvin and Hobbes(one of the greatest comic strips ever) and my school were named. We even have the same Chinese zodiac sign.

*gives death stare*

1. I have two names, the first being Dennis Tran (which is my "official" name) and the second being Tran Hung Viet (my "real" name).
2. Tran Hung Viet is roughly translated as "Bare Flourishing Transcendence."
3. I had to use a night-light until I was eleven.
4. I was deathly afraid of ghosts, ghouls, zombies, and vampires until I was twelve.
5. To this day, I can't stand horror movies (granted, I haven't tried lately), but horror games are just fine.
6. I have a habit of talking back to my teachers. A lot. Luckily, most of them haven't been crazy, so...
7. I sink like a stone. In fact, to date I've had three near-drowning experiences. Not fun, bro.
8. I share my birthday, June 14, with the original Stars and Stripes flag (cool) and Che Guevara (dude, fuck yeah!)
9. I'm one of two liberals in an extended family full of conservatives (the second being my little brother. Indoctrination=yes)
10. My eyesight is horrible. Any worse and I might be legally blind.

When I'm really asleep, I can sleep through anything: earthquakes, thunderstorms, zombie attacks. Except for when someone opens my bedroom door or my alarm goes of.

Some of my favorite snacks? Dried squid and blocks of fermented, raw pork.
