Wild and Crazy Skills

Statue imitator?

What is the wildest and craziest thing you can do? I wondered. I asked. I got weird and entertaining answers. I started working on a companion workbook to go with my nonfiction book (both coming out in a few months...hopefully). It all got me thinking.

What can I do? What are the obscure skills I have? What angles can I fractal down to in order to analyze myself?

My experience includes, but is not limited to:

• Cat wrangling and training
• Toddler containment
• Garbage repurposing
• Daydream development
• Witty one-line IRL microblogging
• Surgical commentating
• Globalizing the personal
• Nap feigning
• Militant self-discipline
• Flexible time-management
• Smart phone camera operation
• Vocal impressions
• Psychic interpretation
• Meticulous bead design
• Mud sculpture
• Full body painting
• Braiding
• Pragmatic truth-telling
• Thumb piano composition
• Baby toy development
• Interpersonal communication mediation
• Immediate dance party creation
• Impromptu public-speaking
• Incessant challenge

Can I turn any of those things into a career? I mean, really. Not joking. Well, maybe a little. Okay, I'm totally joking, but if you came up with something that could use such random things, I would absolutely consider it. I just wonder if that is possible. Can you combine any of these things into a career? If so, what? And what are your weird skills and talents? Do you use them in your career? Tell me about it in the comments below...
