Hrm.
Strange mental talent. Although I have not yet built a multi-kilometer tower using only my mind(Dammit, I need a place for my dancing girls), I can, with a fine degree of accuracy, visualize an alternate 'now'. It could be the world with the minor change of one bullet or one note, or a world where, I don't know, Mike Wong is a bible thumper(That's a fucked up world, lemme tell you.), and so forth. Which would make me a millionaire author except for number two.
Virtually no short term memory. None. Can't remember things if my life depends on it. Depressing, really.

I have an odd ability to creep people out by looking at them, or saying "Hi, and how are YOU today?"
And laughing, that creeps them out too. Oh and I can enter a room and on the spot think of 10 ways to kill people in it, with things in the room.

I do something similar to that too. As soon as I enter a room I quickly scan everyone in the room and pick out the ones who may be threats to my safety. Then I figure out several ways to avoid, neutralize, or maim and kill them should they try to do something funny to me. For example if I walked into a bar I'd almost instantly know who will be the ones causing shit or starting fights, and I'll have several escape plans for dealing with it and ways to waste them planned out by the time I sit down.Alyrium Denryle wrote:Oh and I can enter a room and on the spot think of 10 ways to kill people in it, with things in the room.

All that stuff is just good old-fashioned situational awareness and troubleshooting. I think that can be developed; I had no such skill beefore going into the Army and now I'm pretty good at it too.
But it is also nice to be able to see an ashtray as more than just an ashtray, for example, but as a variety of potential weapon types...

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Another talent/ability is that I am a master of slandering and grapevine. Over the years in school, I developed those skills and honed them to perfection.
which means that I don't have to think how to harm people physically, just a word here and there...

As far as things only I can do, I can pop my thumb joint endlessly (until it begins to hurt) and I can dislocate my thumns in a different way than most.
I shouldn't be getting into this, because it WILL be turned into an arguement (it has before) but I can not only tell some future events, but I can enter others' minds sometimes of my own free will and sometimes not. There are some you can ask, but I will not name names because it is not my place to do so. But *sigh* take it as you will, there are very few that can do this, that have this ability of Sight.

Re: Your special talents, and things you can't do
I used to have precog dreams all the time, but they were never about anything important. They'd be things like I'm getting a slice of pizza and someone will ask me something specific, and sure enough, within the week, it would happen.verilon wrote:I shouldn't be getting into this, because it WILL be turned into an arguement (it has before) but I can not only tell some future events, but I can enter others' minds sometimes of my own free will and sometimes not.

Letsee....I have precogniscant dreams that come true 2 years after the dream. I am unbreakable, fallen from trees, rooves, bashed etc and never got more than a scratch. However I do have a unique ability to be in the wrong place at the wrong time (A shooting) and somehow survive. Two bullets impacted the tree near my head about an inch away. Actually, was shot at twice and survived. Was also nearly ran over by an APC on an Army cadet camp...something told me to move when I was sleeping...so I did. 10 seconds later an APC roared over the ridge on manuvers
Animals love me, Babies cry until I stare at them, and I can sense in a room when either a fight is about to break out, or when there has been an intense emotional situation up to around 2 hrs in the past.
Can also seemingly vaporise from any Government Dbase or filing system and have been declared on various occasions: Dead, Imprisoned, Retired, and living two other states. I seem to fall off the voting lists, and the DMV's dbases. Of course this could just be govt stupidity

I can stop pain by thinking about it, but I hyave to concentrate on it to keep it surpressed so I can't do much else while I'm doing it. I also forward plan everything in my head in detail with contingencys "automatically" when something new happens. The second is helpful playing RTS games, the first is helpful after getting a headache from playing RTS games.
