What's an unexpected skill you have?
-
Have an intelligent discussion about theology.
I may look like your average idiot who is also atheist; but it's because I have a weird interest in theology and have read so many religious texts and interpretations of most major and some minor religions from around the globe. Some of them have some kick ass stories. Hell, some of them read like straight up sci-fi!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Oddly enough, I haven't actually read Dianetics or any of his other sci-fi prior to going after "the real money in religion" for that matter.
I kinda get the impression that Scientology is the one cult that using their own doctrine against them wouldn't quite have the same effect.

Pretty much anything DIY. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc. I'm not an expert at any of those things but I can actually do a pretty decent job. I'm not afraid to research a project and take a crack at it myself. I've completed some really nasty projects that turned out well.

I can drill 6" into my nose, among other sideshow talents.

After loosing some of my hearing and not being able to compose electronic music anymore, I basically retired from being a musician. Picked up drumming about 9 months ago and I'm surprisingly good at it.

Don't feel obligated to elaborate, but I'd love it if you would! That sounds super intriguing

Oh hell yeah! I've been drumming for 20 years, it's the best instrument out there. Enjoy, it's hella fun!

As I found out recently, drawing.
I took some classes in high school and only recently got back into it, and Iโd consider myself..averageish? I know where I need improvements and I see the quirks and wonks, so to speak.
The people in my adult life who have seen my sketchbook make (positive) comments, which surprised me. Still, itโs nice.
Drawing has always been super impressive to me. I pretty much gave it up in high school, but my husband is an incredible artist and I just always appreciate seeing what other people do. It seems like it's hella zen when you get into it. Awesome skill

Cheers. It's really great and lots of fun. Already recording an album for a German band in the studio thanks to some amazing teachers out there.

Roller skating. I'm super unathletic, but skating (including teaching to others) was listed in the profile of a girl who contacted me on a dating site, so after chatting for a bit I suggested that as our first date. She was super patient with me, I had never put on skates before that day, and was in my 30s.
We're married now, and I now also teach skating where she does on weekends, sometimes to people who have never tried it before.

Juggle. I'm by no means a master, but I know my way around quite a few different juggling things. Balls, sticks, hoops, the two sticks you hold with the longer one you juggle in the middle, diabolos/Chinese yo-yos.

Same as this but I can see any process 1x and adapt it to serve me.

Nobody expects me to be a baker. I damn near killed a stand mixer making bagel dough once xD

Jack of all trades! After partly renovating three different houses successfully, I find myself in the same situation as you.

i can perfectly imitate the "adult voice" from Peanuts with just my mouth.

I have found that atheists know more about religion than the typical believer.

Hand-sewing is my "something to occupy my hands while watching tv" hobby. I usually take shirts that I buy at a thrift store and customize them (side panels to make them fit better, add lacy pieces, etc.).

wrote on last edited by [email protected]sewing is mine also. I don't think I've talked to a single person in the 15 years I've been sewing that hasn't reacted with shock to some degree or another upon finding out.
i like repairing clothes and making backpacks.
