hi ellen,

I just moved back to SF and am in the middle of trying to get my computer hooked back up so I can FInALLY update grrl.com.

It's June 22. Where are you Bonnie? Haven't seen anything new on the blog for a while...

i can tap dance too

i too can recognize obscure celebrities in films and telly with such a flair that i've often wished i could put it on a resume

also i once cut my hand on a piece of bread

I can spell better than my dog.

Oh! I'm proud to be learning Spanish! Only I can now speak like a 3 year old who learned from a sailor...

- i can sing my alma mater's fight song in English and Russian.

- i own/worship the only SantaRam* in existance. (Not really a talent, but still pretty nifty.)

- i can easily make hand-fart noises but not armpit-fart noises.

- i do a great Peter Lorre impression.

- i'm a walking encyclopedia of useless trivia and information.

- i have a third nipple. (Creepy, but true.)

- i can wiggle my ears but i can barely wink.

... and that's about all that i can think of at the moment.

*coming soon to a video game near you!

* If I think hard enough (or not at all, I guess), my heart can stop beating for just a bit. I went to the doctor about it. They first told me that I needed a pacemaker, then just told me I was too healthy and that I should eat more big macs.
* I've broken 4 bones; three in my right hand - I'm in college for painting. That hand constantly hurts. 2 broken bones are from skateboarding.
* I can juggle knives, unicycle and walk on my hands.
* I used to run 30 miles a week with size 12 running shoes, and climb 5.11c grade cliffs wearing size 8 climbing shoes.
* I started once as the youngest intern at a web design company and ended as the Principal Developer. I left to go to art school.
* I drove from Indiana to Colorado in 21 hours.... in a GEO!
* I met someone named after the Vyvyan character in "The Young Ones", ok, not a weird stuff I know, but... whoa.
* Hairstyles of the last few years: green hair, blue hair, green and blue hair, NO hair, pompadour, mohawk.
* I can be found lindy hopping, jiitterbugging, shim shamming one day, be found at an underground show at some random warehouse the next, dancing at the goth club the next and reading a Tom Robbins book at the preppiest coffee shop the final day.
* I put that I'm looking for a sugar-momma on my public resume... no for real! -> http://justinsimoni.com/resume.html

Hello Miss Burton. Haven't been by your site in a while so I thought I would come and apologize even though you didn't know I've been coming to read it periodically over the last few years. I have some unusual talents and experience I thought I would share for you that missed my resume.

1. I can make anything out of lego.
2. Dogsledding.
3. I once won a trophy for Curling.
4. There is this fantastic sexual thing I can do for my significant other (when there is one) that I probably shouldn't mention.
5. On short notice, I cook breakfast for as many as 15 people using one stove and be finished in 20 minutes.
6. Have driven from Vancouver to Vancouver in less then 6 hours.
7. I've spoken to you on the phone when we both worked for the @Home Network but lived in different countries.
8. I can run two different songs in my head at once and then mix them together into one.
9. I can also tap my teeth like a marching snare drum.
10. Grew up with a guy who became a cult leader.

Mmmmmmm... Biscuits :-) Don't make me drool!

As for my special skills, uh, I guess I have some.

I seem to magically fix computer problems just by my presence alone (I have heard "Can you fix this?" followed by "Oh, it's working now that you're here." far too many times to count).

I grill pretty well, but other cooking has ended up less successful (To put it mildly).

I have the amazing ability to attract the most craptastic females on the planet, unless it's as friends, in which case I attract the ones I want (Is that a skill?).

I also tend to mysteriously collect a lot of Apple Macs. It must be catchy (Seriously, I have way too many. Anybody want one?).

I'm sure I have more, but they are escaping me at the moment...

Upsetting friends with out realizing it!
Well I realize it afterwards, but then that's to late...

Collecting old Apple Macs
Drinking strong beer
Playing to many video games
Enjoying life on a day to day basis - as it sometimes looks to short to plan!

If I ever have a job to offer, it's yours.

Will you marry me?

What are some of your more unusual talents?
