TALENTS/HOBBIES/REDEEMING QUALITIES OF SOME SORT

Posts

Pages: first 12 next last
Well I saw a thread complaining about this place dying in usage. SO I figured I would strike conversation with an open ended topic that could end god knows where in a few days. *shrug*
So, what kind of talents/hobbies do you guys have? Er...well let's keep it kinda clean, if you run the "tape people doing naughty things to llamas" industry I don't really wanna know...
And no I have no idea if there is such an industry but humans are sick so I'll be there is. v.v First person to google it gets fifty Dopefish points. X.x;

Um, well this is gonna sound lame but I like to sing and I wanna get outta school and be a vocalist. I was in a camp this summer where we did a bunch of Broadway stuff and I had no idea how fun it was till I did it there. o.0;;
I like to draw and write a lot. I don't think I'm a really good artist, personally. I haven't drawn anything I can say I'm 100% happy with after staring at it for an hour. I'm trying to not suck drawing people, currently, but I think I can draw some decent wolves by now. *points to avi*
Writing, on the other hand, I think I'm pretty damn good at, which comes in handy when you have a really boring project to write at school and find a loophole that lets you write about something totally stupid and hillairious. (My teachers have since learned to be very specific.)
If you wanna see the kinda stuff I draw/write I have a deviantART here; http://www.chibisephy.deviantart.com

Umm...and those are about the only redeeming qualities I think I have. Your turn! ^.^
I can cook, although I'm rather inexperienced with baking. I still enjoy it mightily and my family seems to appreciate my taking up the chore.

I am a writer. A wonky one, but still. I occasionally come up with neat ideas.

I've been told I'm funny. (Humor is subjective, so you're the judge of that.)

I am empathetic. I love people and am usually a good person to vent about your problems at. I am capable of putting up with irritating, taxing behavior for entirely too long, so long as I don't think people are DELIBERATELY trying to irritate me.

I have a reputation for being a lame goody-two-shoes. Which I can't find all that insulting.

I'm punctual. When I have an obligation, I try to do everything in my power to fulfill it.
It's nice that you can be so forward about yourself. Some people don't even know what the hell they can do, so that's refreshing.
I can relate to the empathetic part. It wasn't exactly something I asked for, but now I'm used to it and you know, I kinda like being the go to person for things like that. Makes ya feel useful doesn't it?
I cannot, however, relate to being punctual. *procrastinates a lot*

And and and when you play games like KOTOR, do you automatically go for the light-side stuff? And have you ever tried doing evil things and just can't bring yourself to?
GTA is my exception to this. Slaughter the town. ^.^
I am a fantastic cook. At the moment i have a job as the head chef at my restaurant.
I love to play sport and such.
My favourite hobbie would probably be playing videogames. I am a man that when he buys a videogame he will finish it. At this moment i still hold that record.

Procrastination is divine. But usually I realize that something is really going to suck to get done, I just want to get it over with. But then again, I am lousy when it comes to forcing myself to be creative. Kentona will probably need to punch me in the face at least once while we work on Generica.

Yeah. I always play as the goody-goody in KOTOR and Fallout and any game that gives you in active choice in behavior. I'm weird in that, unlike a lot of people I know, I don't have any fun picking mean options. (Unless they're funny.)

You must be older than I imagined. No offense. Cooking is AWESOME and I find it hard to relate to people that find it a chore. What sort of restaurant do you work at?

I use to have the same attitude about video games, but I eventually decided that if a game isn't fun to play through than it just isn't worth the time and effort. Bragging rights are cool and all, but I can't take back the time I sunk into Xenogears and Dragon Warrior VII.

Heheh, you play Fallout too? It's funny, I'm such a pansy I made a character once with the intention to MAKE myself be evil... I named him Hitler and everything...and by the end of the game Hitler was the worlds most loved saint of a hero post apocalyptic California could ever wish for...

What sports do you play?
And gaming is, simply put, the bestest, most talented talent ever. Pwnage. ^.^

Just so you know i am 25 years old and have been working in a restaurant for about 5 years. The sort of restaurant that i work at is an italian type place that serves some of the best pizzas.
I'm a qualified and working Graphic Designer / Illustrator as well as a published writer of articles / short stories and stage plays. I also act and sing. I run two webcomics and am currently working on a radio-show for use in the UK.

wow - who'd have thought I'd have time to play or dally at making RPGs?

You're like one of those people in Workopolis commercials.

I have no discernable talents or redeeming qualities.
I write and I am incredibly adept at planning things. I can outline games, stories, shows, etc like a crazy motherfucker. Charts and maps and everything like crazy. Of course I never actually finish anything because after I spend so much time planning things out I've already moved onto the next project.

I'm a pretty solid spriter and decent at web design.

I'm also a pretty hardcore Pokémon fan.

I can cook fairly well. I don't have a large knowledge of recipes, however.

I can fish. Unfortunately I'm not too good at setting up the poles, but I can do everything after that.

There is nothing else redeeming about me at all.

Thanks for getting this website up and running, by the way.

I relate to that, sort of. Get a good idea, rant about it a bit, set really high expectations, make it ambitious, promise yourself you'll finish, and then get bored. X.x

One can always make time for games.
It's a lot harder when you think about it. Well... to me it is. ???
I uh, paint and do photography:

I love to write as well and am working on a screenplay (or two) at the moment!

My true talent is being able to learn anything really really quickly and figure things out easily. I'm also good with numbers. I could rattle off my credit card numbers, bank account numbers (checking account and routing number), drivers license number, other peoples credit card numbers... ;) (i.e. don't let me look at your credit cards haha)

so, as you can see, i'm very talented 8)
