If you could have ANY talent, what would you pick?
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 11:25 AM by Shell Beau
I have always wanted to sing like Patsy Cline. That would be my pick.

When I was little I wanted to be like Mary Lou Rhetton.

3. Anything.
I can do lots of stuff (play piano, sing, write), but nothing really well.

4. Today
It would be better at inserting catheters without breaking sterile technique. That's just today though. :banghead:

Overall, I'd like a better singing voice.

5. I want to sing....
unfortunately I am horibly tone-deaf and screech like sick bird any time I try. Oh to be able to croon to my sweet wife, but alas, all she does is leave the room when I do.

10. Singing would be good...
I'd also like to be able to draw. Athletic skills would be nice, too. Understanding complicated mathematics would also be fun; then I could be an astronomer.

11. Probably something musical
I'd love to be able to play jazz piano. I took lessons 20 years ago. If I had kept up with it I might be pretty good by now. Sigh.

16. I sing now and play the drums, but what I'd REALLY love to do is
be able to play the guitar, so I could accompany myself singing. I'd love to wake up, one day, and be a virtuoso. I don't want to have to go through that whole learning-to-read-music thing...not to mention all the practicing.

22. The ability to translate the images in my brain on to film.
Meaning, the ability to see something I want to capture on film, and make the camera do what I want. ;)

24. I wish I had the option of being an asshole.
Every now and again, I find life would be a lot easier or more convenient if I could just find it within myself to be a jerk. :shrug:

28. the ability to communicate with all animals, and have them do my bidding,
like that one tarzan-looking guy on the TV. I can't remember what he was called. That show sucked, but it would be pretty rad if I could, for instance, send a herd of rats, or perhaps guinea pigs, to do battle with my enemies.

30. True, completely testable
ESP. I have it now, but it's so sporadic and untestable, that it's pretty worthless for anything other than wonder.
