    I'm good at estimating things. I can pull a number out of my *kitten* and I seem to be close or right on the money more often than not.

    Also, I can fix your computer.

    Fix mine! :D

    I can apparently guess how many pieces of bread are in a loaf....ok I only did that once.
    I can walk on my hands underwater...in the shallow end of the pool.

    I can make friends with anyone, despite being a total jerk.
    I can turn off my emotions.
    I can touch my tongue to my nose.

    I can hear a tv just being on w/o anything actually being on.
    Apparently I can hear that its raining w/o hearing anything water related. (just noticed it last week)
    Basically I cant do much of anything neat, but I can do stuff.
    I can read people ridiculously well and forever make them feel better...whether I volunteer to be "that friend" or not

    I must lay hands on it. The process is similar to that of a faith healer.

    Okay, it's not really an "ability", it's considered a "neurological disorder". But I see music. It's called synesthesia, and it's when stimulus in one sense produces a response in another, usually unconnected sense. Like seeing sounds as colors, lines, shapes etc. or tasting musical notes (C minor is bitter, etc.)

    Some forms of synesthesia, like tasting musical notes or smelling colors, are more rare. The most common form is having colored weekdays (ie. monday is red, tuesday is green) and months. Letters/numbers to color is also very common. I have that one as well.

    Oh, and in synesthetes there are two types- projectors and associators. Associators don't actually "see" the synesthetic response, they see it in their minds eye or have a very definite association. Projectors actually see their responses outside of their bodies, like on a screen in front of them. I'm a projector with my colored sounds and have associated colored letters.

    Synesthetes are born with synesthesia and have it their whole lives. Some people experience temporary synesthesia after taking LSD, and a few people develop synesthesia after an accident/brain damage. It's true synesthesia, though, if the responses are always consistent (they don't change day to day or even year to year) and they're involuntary (you can't turn them off).

    I have heard of that before. I'm guessing you got into some trouble with teachers when you were learning the alphabet. Because I'm a nerd as well, is it genetic or random?

    Almost forgot, apparently I can get sick at some of the most inopportune times as it is midterms week and I woke up this morning with a 101.4 temp. And I haven't been sick for almost 10 years.
