  I am a badass on Dance dance revolution and similar Wii games. My nephew once told me, "Aunt (insert real name), why are you so good at this game?" Truth son.
  
  I also have an odd ability to learn song lyrics after listening to a song about 3 times. DH says it's one of the reasons he fell in love with me. I may have thought TLC was saying, "Don't go Jason Waterfalls" for 10 years, but damn it- I knew the rest of the words!!

  I love all of these! I rode horses all my life too, so I'll pick my recent discovery that I am a natural knife thrower. I never knew until this year. Pretty useless but I did tell DH that I want a knife set, you know, in case of the apocalypse, they can be my weapon of choice :P

  Lol to the zombie apocalypse. Mind you mu hubby and bestie have an elobrate plan. In which I am the driver.
  
  So unusual talent for me is my ability to drive when many distracting things are going on. What can I say, I'm a good multi tasker.
  
  Also I do some archery, so much fun!

  I can do chemistry and quantum mechanics.

  
  

  Big Bang Theory is not funny to me because the men I work with are really like that.

  
  

  
  

  I also have gained an uncanny sense of internal time (never set a timer when cooking) due to all the science experiments I have done. 

  
  

  I CANNOT do anything crafty, with my hair or other things generally expected of a female.
