Ok, go egocentric now, tell us EVERYTHING you're good at! Why? *shrugs* Why not? Don't hold back, don't be modest! I'll start... I'm damn good when it comes to drawing stuff. I have an Elfwood gallery, in case you're interested: elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/d/a/dashiell/dashiell.htmlI'm very good at English, even though it's not my mother tongue. Last year my English teacher said she felt there was nothing more she could teach me, and I guess that's pretty much the highest praise any teacher can give... I'm a good singer, and I've go good taste in music.  I'm amazing when it comes to writing things, as some of you might've noticed...  I'm good with animals, I like them and they seem to like me back. I love my cat! I've a very good taste when it comes to cute boys. Nuff said... I'm interested in more things than many other people I know, which means I often have something to say no matter what the discussion might be about. I think more than I talk. Though sometimes I sound like an idiot anyway. I don't care if others think I'm making a fool of myself, I like having fun and no regrets!  I'm not as prejudiced about some things as other people I know... I have a great memory! I guess that comes from my habit of not taking any notes in school, I have to keep everything in my head...  And it means I know a lot of stuff that others refer to as " Unnecessary Knowledge", even though they tend to be impressed about it... I'm good with ceramic clay, though sometimes things don't turn out as I expected... ;D Ok, now it's your turn! |

This'll be weird to do - I don't really like flaunting, much... I'm also very talented at art (much like Sofia, but I don't put my art online. I also can't find where I put this sketch of Natalie Portman that I did...damn). my preferred mediums are oil paint. coloured pencil, copic pens, watercolour, but I've worked with almost everything. here's a sample of something I did - it's a sketch of Liv Tyler that I did with blue coloured pencil that I did three years ago: img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/Misako07/LIVLG.jpgI've taken 14 years of piano lessons (but I'm crap now, haha) I am an accomplished policy debater I figure skated for years and stopped in freshman year of HS I'm a good singer - mezzo-alto range. People say I have a rich "tone" to my voice, but I can't hear it, myself, lol... I am good with computers - I grew up in the Silicon Valley of the Bay Area, which is the epicenter for many things computers, thus, it rubbed off. People say I resemble the Aussie model Gemma Ward (haha, yeah, right...I don't think so at ALL, but I just threw this in there cause I get it quite often) I'm a very good writer - I used to write novels... I am great under pressure - I do some of my best work then. Animals seem to love me, even if they don't like anyone else. (it's honestly bizarre) I have very very eclectic taste in subjects I'm interested in, things I've studied, music I listen to, and movies and books I like. I started reading War and Peace when I was about 9 years old (very precocious and voracious reader) because I heard college students complaining about it when I would read for hours in the bookstore...and then I was curious and picked it up. Haha. I can read a 900+ page book in 4 hours. (I'm a highly absorbent speed reader, although dry books tend to make me read slower.) I can type about 90-110 words per minute (WPM) - too many years online. I can play the flute - I kind of took to it naturally, although I don't play it now. I'm very very persuasive. I am good at research (years of debate will do that) I have waayyy too much "unnecessary knowledge" stuffed away in my brain. I am an amateur photographer...just got a digital, trying to figure out how it works. I'm waiting for the prices on digital SLRs to drop. I'm into culinary arts. I used to participate in culinary clubs throughout the years - my specialities are Italian and Chinese. with an edge of French I am loud and unabashedly upfront about a lot of things...haha, and I'm definitely not ashamed of it. er, I think I'm done?? wow, all of that felt weird to say! |

^ lol, it's funny when people call me "red" cause this is probably my 800th screenname incarnation, lol. "red" because red is my favourite colour (which means that when I come to this board it makes me happy because it's red! lol, I'm also a big fan of blue and grey) and "little wing" because it's one of my favourite songs. But it's weird using it! I'm used to using something which is name-esque. Haha!

 Isn't it amazing how incredibly great people are when they just throw off the cloak of modesty?

I haven't counted how many words I write per minute, but as I'm one of those people that only use one finger for typing I guess it's not all that much... Though it'd be interesting to know how many words I can read in a minute, as I'm the fastest reader in my class... |
