A few different types actually.

I hear notes, I'll see a flash of color, but the flash is to dull the first time for me to catch to match pitch. If I see certain colors, I'll have a taste in my mouth. Purple is always grape, etc. If I smell anything, I automatically can taste it. Nothing overpowering, just like a hint of something. If I hear footsteps, I can feel them. That one took me a while to figure out and is harder to explain.

I really didn't think any of this was a big deal until I read a speech for class that said 1 in a million people have it, then I started asking around and some people never even heard of it. It's kinda cool.

Stamping your library books.
That's pretty sweet, CK.

I have this weird thing where I can tell whether or not a TV (muted or not) is turned on in a room before I enter. I think I'm hearing or feeling something coming from the TV, but... It's strange. Oh, and it only works with the older TVs, not these new flat ones.

kinda cool! that is very cool and just a question you know how you have tastes associated with colurs is that always happening like when you look at your keyboard for example or is it only if you see a plain colur by itself sorta thing?

Synesthesia!

That can give you some pretty unique talents I must say.Ive always wondered if its a bad thing to have.Does it affect your life greatly bad or good?

Id say 3 of my special talents are:

Jumping,I can jump onto walls that are just as tall as me without hands.(Im 6'2')I can just hop right on top of them.

My next 2 talents may NOT be suitable for the younger kids.15-16 you guys already know it all anyways.

The ability to use a miniscule amount of tantric skill pretty well.I can have like 2-3 orgasms before finally giving out.I read about using your PC muscle to stop yourself from ******* and found out I can use it really easily.Its awesome.

My ability to hit a bong no matter how big without coughing.I havent coughed from a bong in 7 years,and there has been some stupid ones....2-3 spliffs in 1 hit etc

These and writing 80's metal songs on guitar anyways!

What, are you mario or something? Who can jump their own height? O_o It sounds like you are saying that you literally jump cleanly on top of them, without having to stand back up. If you can, color me impressed. Why aren't you in the olympics? :laugh:

Well I jump/crouch and get right on top of the wall and stand back up on the wall quickly.Thats exactly how I do it.May be not my full height lets say to between my shoulders and chin height.

Some smaller walls I can cleanly jump onto.

perpetual deep or thinking thinking?

I don't know how, but gradually my mind just kept running quicker and quicker over the past year... it's insane, it feels like my I.Q. increased 10 points. seriously, think of the "thinking man" statue, and it is 24/7
for me.

Excel:
*Logic
*Politics
*Philosophy
*The Arts (music composition and performance in particular)
*Game design
*Law
*Can take music I heard and reproduce a very similar version for Bflat instruments in 5 minutes with no actual sheet music
*Can work out a reasonably pseudo-logical explanation for anything within 5-20 seconds
*I calculate things on a numerical scale that typically can't be evaluated on a solid, formal scale. usually pretty complex formulas, I can't really explain but you can compare it to Wikipedia's Cluebot in a way
*I'm consciously aware of everything that is happening to me, to an extent. If I don't know "something", I do know that that lack of knowledge or wisdom exists.

Talentless:
*Mental math
*Memorization of facts for the sake of memorizing (it has to be meaningful for me to remember)
*I ****ing suck at rhythm games. I get really good very quickly, but after I hit "expert" levels there's zero improvement...
*Repetitive tasks

Don't know if any of this is normal but w/e

help?

I read the second part Great Expectations and highlighted, took notes, etc. in my bathroom in 2 hours the day of the test, and got 110% on the test (the other ten is from extra credit).

Another Brit Lit thing, we were debating the morals found in A Clockwork Orange, and I single handedly persuaded my entire class that the Ludovico technique is never justified.

I don't really know if it's a special talent, but I can do this too

Well, I can sing Death Metal vocals. I can screech and make you crap your pants. I can change my voice to whatever I want it to be.
I can put both of my legs above my head in the back of my neck. I can crack and snap my neck and make everyone think I broke it. I can think of the most disgusting and disturbing thoughts, and I truely mean that. And I'm good at Melee. :p


I can impersonate the answering machine lady. I can also make female hentai noises too well.

I should be a voice actor or something.
o_O

I guess my special talents are

1. Burping whenever I want to
2. Touching my nose with my toungue

And for some reason my friends think crossing my eyes is a talent.

What kind of synesthesia? (how many dozens are there?) I've always had a weird ability tofeel anything described., so I guess I have sound>touch synesthesia, Also, smell>taste.
I don't think smell to taste counts. =/

I can make a decent quality (and good quality if I really tried) 3D video game.

I can vibrate my eyes.. It's kind of freaky. Like they move back and forth really quickly.

I can also hold my hands together in front of or behind me, then stretch them upwards and bring them all the way to the opposite side from which I started without letting go of my hands.

Wow, mine got a lot of quotes.

To Janitor:

I'm male. :p

To Grunt:

I'll record a sound sample eventually. But not right now.

To Lord Bowser:

My friend Kaylee and I were hiking in the hilly woods near our houses. We followed a path that went down a residential area, and started making sex noises to scare the locals. My voice was too high at first, and it came out sounding like a woman.

Oh hey I have another talent I just remembered, I can bring my legs in front of me and touch the back of my head. Only reason I would ever use that talent...to give somebody a free shot to the groin.

I can learn songs by ear pretty fast on the saxophone. I can also learn songs from memory (sometimes ones that I haven't heard in a while), but they usually come out to be a half step off. :[

However, my ability to memorize lyrics sucks nuts.

I'm funny. I can't think of any talents, unless you count determination as a talent.
