Here we go:

-- I'm more flexible than you would think to look at me. Not the feet behind head thing, BUT my elbows bend BACKWARDS further than anyone elses (including my sister Happy Lizard, but only just). So far backward, in fact, that I can get the insides of my elbows to touch each other. This is NOT a bonus in archery, the string scraps along the elbow. Also, put your hands together as though you are praying (Christian style) now try to bend your fingers back so your palms are still together (make the widest V with your fingers as you can). I estimate that my fingers can make a V 90 degrees apart (hope everyone got that.) Which is better than anyone else I've ever met AND (added bonus) really creeps some people out (eg, one of the trombones in concert band). This one's not so good, my thunb does this bending backwards so that it looks someones snaped it at ninety , but I know people who can do that better (well, my mum if you must know).
-- I can play Bb clarinet (hopefully) well
-- I can play piano well
-- I can play snippets of other instruments such as flute and sax.
-- I can read a book in an evening (Well, not LotR of anything like that but still...)
-- I'm short (I like being short)
-- I'm good at art and have several art awards.
-- I'm a straight A student!!!
-- I have mental blanks. Like I'm in the middle of a conversation, then either I suddenly have no idea what I just said or what I was going to say, or I forget this silly thing which I should by all rights know off by heart (like what musical note is on the middle line, that was a really bad mental blank I had once...)

And most of that stuff is bad stuff!

I know how to car jack a car because of my uncle...

I can also laugh until I'm red in the face. In like, fifth grade everyone called me the "giggle box" weird, huh?

Woo hoo, I do that too, Mattie! It scares people... they're like, "Whoa, breathe. Your face is so red!"

OOO!!

WHO HERE CAN DO THE NOSE FLARE???

I've beaten mustangs in an altima,

Me too! *pats pretty green '98 Altima*

I can also run a 6.25 minute mile. I think that's pretty fast. I've never been on a track team, though. *shrugs*

I can make people laugh.

I can touch my nose with my tongue.

I can write a mean literary analysis.

I can layout a newspaper page in 10 minutes flat.

But other than that...*shrugs* I'm boring.

...uh, *I* can run a mile in less time that that.

I can play the guitar! Not a lot of people can do that...right?

How fast can you run it? A FOUR minute mile is running very, very, very quickly. And guys can run faster than girls anyway.

My ring fingers are totally double-jointed, and almost all my other fingers can do prett crazy double-joint stuff. The only problem is that now I can't straightened my fingers all the way...

O.o I have them.. Its annoying because my mind goes blank and I forget everything me and the person I was talking to, or I forgot what I was going to say.. :l

Oh, that ALWAYS happens to me. If I think about something too much, I just blank out and can't think straight. Its like, if I'm doing something I've done 100 times, and suddenly I have this blank and can't remember how to do it.

I can bend just the top knuckles of most of my fingers. I can also bend my right thumb 90 degrees back.I have a picture of my hand thing. Look! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/tae137/weirdhandtrick.bmp

Ow, that looks like it hurt... O.o

I'm not really talented, but here are some of mine...:

I can play Bb Clarinet quite well, MUCH better than Greg... (He sucks at trumpet, but not as bad as Dan)
I can crack almost all of my joints... (Back, Neck, all fingers and toes, wrists and ankles, hips, knees, elbows, jaw, shoulders)
I can write orchestral music... (If that's a talent )
I could sing, until my voice deepened... Now I'm training it again...
I can flare my nostrils...
My left thumb is double-jointed...
I can do what Niteowl did, but not as far down...
I can regurgitate food...
I can stick all of my fingers into my throat and not gag...

I think that's it... I'm special!

I can flare my nostrils!!!
AND I can ... um suck (? in need of better word) them in flat WITHOUT having to push them in first! (that's pretty good for making people laugh if you do it at some weirdly random time)
