I used to be good at public speaking before my psyche quit on me a few years back.

Glad you clarified. Every time I see that term I picture some highland game where large men in kilts hurl carriage wheels. Makes me pause for roughly 30 seconds until I remember what it actually means. Poorly named activity if I do say so myself.

And by psyche you mean penis.?.

I can also balance on two wheels on a wheelchair really well. I was also duct taped to said wheelchair after refusing to quit fucking about with my Noise Floor and Dirty Chan during band practice.

i know how to talk to and manipulate authority very well. you dont know how many times ive gotten out of situations with just words.

and i can clap with one hand!

i used to be really good at drawing, and briefly at embroidery when i took it up. i have a weird ability to figure out just about any instrument you don't have to blow through (my respiratory system is not great) in a few hours, and to riff on any plectrum stringed instrument in a half-hour or less. cats love me. and i can learn software without tutorials by working my way through the menus. but the thing i truly excel at is making wrong decisions, failing, and sabotaging my own life, which i'm so good at that none of my other abilities can help me at all in the end.

i have the same thing with stringed instruments. its creepy, really.

Maybe I shouldn't ask, but..are you in a wheelchair? Or did there just happen to be a wheelchair handy at your band-practice?

Eh, only if it was always like that. Like when you first picked up your first instrument. I think it's probably similar for most people that play instruments. After playing violin for years when I was younger, and then guitar for the past 7 or 8 years, I can pick up just about any instrument you don't blow in and play it. The dexterity definitely crosses over from instrument to instrument, and theory is always the same.

yeah, its just a matter of getting used to the intervals.

I'm basically good at anything I try, without any real effort.

I always have been, and it tends to piss people off. I don't know if it's just because I don't really have to put effort in, or if it's because I'm simply good at something right off the bat.

It's this. My friend is this way, he just seems to be good at everything he tries with no effort and it bothers me sometimes.
Maybe it's jealousy, on my part. Who knows?

Despite brass instruments all being quite similar, I could never play trumpet because of the smaller mouthpiece(I played trombone). I also never figured out the fingerings. I was so much better at just ramming my slide in and out.
