My unique talent(s)

November 24 is Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day! (It’s also National Sardine Day, but I’ll pass.) Here’s how it is described on checkiday.com:
Everyone has a unique talent or skill at which they truly excel. Today is the day to embrace those quirky abilities and show them off to everyone else!
Your unique and special talent could involve writing, art, sports, or math! Or maybe you are double jointed, can talk in a cartoon voice, or can do a one-handed pull-up like no other. No matter what your special skills are, today is the day to celebrate them.
Here’s my list of special talents:
  1. ​I can wiggle my ears (a little)
  2. I am pretty good at saying “no” to things I really don’t want to do, especially committees.
  3. I am great at ad hockery. That’s a thing, trust me.
  4. I remember faces and often even the names that go with them!
  5. I excel at Google searches, and finding information in general.
None of these is unique (another special talent of mine is vocabulary policing), but as they are part of what make me the individual I am. It would be the icing on the cake if I could talk like Donald Duck, or turn my eyelids inside out, like that kid I knew in fifth grade.

    What's this?

    My Gender Mystique blog focuses on my work on clothing, sex, and gender. That's not all I do, so this blog is about everything else.
