    Now thats dumb ;)


    Next time go for ravioli :D
    Ravioli would have been tons easier.
    Making those little tortellini shapes is ridiculous.

    Also, I made my own bagels. In my defense, they were ok...but not worth the effort unless I am Laura Ingles Wilder.

    I have never learned how to drive a manual (stick-shift) car. To clarify - I can drive on FLAT roads, but no hills can be in the way! I know...totally lame.

    I can't ride a bike to save my life. I get on, and fall off. And I don't even have a balance problem as my excuse.

    It's a weird thing. Once you can do it it's impossible to imagine how you ever had a problem with it but it's not something you can really describe for a person who can't do it. I couldn't ride a bike until I was about 9 whereas my brothers were like 4/5. After I learned I was like "WTF?! why was it so hard?".

    I have a weird thing I can't do!!!!

    You know those sun shield thingies for the car?? Well, you know how they fold up into a perfect small little circle and you tie an elastic thing around them?? Well, I can't do it!!!!!!! I can't fold those damn things!!! (Am I making any sense??) Even my mom said, "what is the matter with you that you can't master this??"

    These kinds!

    Surfing ~ I suck at this so bad, but I keep going out there like a drowned rat and trying and just live with the public humiliation. :D

    Juggling ~ Man I just cannot get the hang of this no matter how hard people try to help me with it, I just cannot even remotely master it. :rolleyes:

    32 Fouettes` ~ Ever since I was a little girl at ballet class this is something I've always wanted to be able to do, but I'm lucky if I can manage 5 these days without falling into a heap in fits of giggles on the floor. :D

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32_fouett%C3%A9s_en_tournant

    Side splits ~ Can do front splits on both legs, least I could, haven't tried in a while, but the side splits :rolleyes: I give up!!!

    Manipulation and deceit ~ Just not good at lying and truly useless at trying to manipulate others. Seems it's quite the skill to have these days, encouraged even, but the whole idea and the motivation behind it is something I just don't get. And hope I never understand how to do it. Sometimes I wish I could purely to respond in terms that the person doing it to me understands but then who'd want to be that way anyway?
    NOPE!!!

    :(
    That makes me so sad.
    Really?
    I figured you for a bicycle rider...you know, it going along with the whole musician and gardener thing.
    I can imagine it would be difficult to learn as an adult.

    LOL, that is awesome.

    My favorite thing about this video is his face. You know that's gotta be his sex face. :D

    The stupid thing that I've tried but failed at...I have to think about this, as there are surely many many things. But I'm drawing a blank right now.

    Stupid things I tried and failed at... starting my own cock-rock band, trying to run a comedy website with a friend who wasn't able to access the site, cheating on a biology test a few years back... So many things.

    not sure if it is stupid but I have tried and tried to do just one pull-up and have failed.

    :(

    if it makes you feel any better - i have a girl-friend in the Marine Corps, and she said most of the women in the Corps can't even do one. they start you off by having you hang in the pull up position (with your chin above the bar) and you hang for a while then work on lowering yourself slowly. that's how you train to do the opposite and pull yourself up. i've never done it either, but that would be pretty cool.

    And, the thing is...I'm an awesome girlfriend. I just haven't met the right guy I guess...and I *REFUSE* to settle.


    yeah, most of my friends and family think i'm too picky :rolleyes: but seriously i'm never going to settle. i'd rather be single and happy than married and miserable....i've seen it, and i refuse to live that way.

    when i was learning, i tried and tried and my mom kept telling me to go down a small hill and i would get it right.....i thought - stupid! i'll fall and have an even bigger accident. finally, i got desperate and tried it and it worked! it took me a few times going down that little hill before i could start off on flat land. ;):)

    Riding a unicycle, ollying, flying, being homosexual, swimming upside-down, starting a cult, convincing people I was Hey, foxymophandlemama, that's me, wiggling into a higher vibrational spiritual state, talking my self out of asthma, burn salt. I have reconstructed a tape so it played backwards, though.
    Signed it, grind it.
    Corroding and foreboding.

    Mine's more like a blowing sound (shut the fuck up right now anyone planning on making something dirty out of that :D ) sometimes with a llight whistling noise to it... like a creepy wind or something! :D I've given up. I much prefer getting a blade of grass, putting it between my thumbs and blowing through that... and pretend I can whistle louder than anyone :)

    I was going to say loud blowing and sucking :D Then I got smart and changed it to "breathing" :D

    I can't do it with a blade of grass, or putting the finger in your mouth style. Though I can blow a referee whistle pretty loud. :cool:

    you tried with the grass? Have it pulled tightly so the edge is sharp... but have air on both sides (i.e. the arches of your thumbs), put your mouth up to your thumbs and blow really hard :)
