Photography - I've been doing it since 7th Grade... I love to have adventure days where I wander around photographing what I find to be interesting. I don't feel I'm exceptionally skilled at it, but I've got a 'good eye'.
Painting/Drawing/Sketching - I do it, I have a style entirely of my own, I'm not on the top of the best artists ever, but I am quirky and slightly abstract.
Photo-Manipulation - I'm pretty good at it. I used to do it to Role Playing portraits for my own characters, and its grown into full blown Digital Art for me. I'm of a middle of the road talent, but still! I've been doing it a while.
Writing - Mostly creative, I struggle in editorial and technical writing, but my creative writing is wordy and generally considered pretty nice. At least by my text-based RP buddies. I'm not so hot at sitting down and writing a book, but short stories, and PAINFULLY bad poetry are something I can do.
Teaching - I have a basic knowledge of a bit of alot of things. I've always loved Ancient History, Mythology, Culture (I'm a frustrated Anthropologist). I'm sure there are people on this forum that are GREATLY more specialized than I am, but think of me as a Jane-of-All-Trades of History, Archeology, Mythology, etc. I'm also a dynamite researcher/assistant, I'll rabidly chase down facts and present them to you if I don't know myself.
WebJunk - I have a good knowledge how to write html. That's about all!
Textile - I can sew, but mostly I modify things I find in the thrift store to my liking. I've experimented with dyes, re-sewing, materials, tailoring, you name it. I am NOT very good at it, despite having done it for years, a good patchwork quilt is about the peak of my talent. I was an awesome seamstress assistant, but I would be glad to help anyone with advice on textiles.
Makeup/Skincare/Haircare - I've always been that one girl everyone went to for makeovers, so I'm pretty good at giving advice on how to dye hair, what colors work well, how bleach works, the difference between doing it yourself and getting it done at a salon... I'm also quite good at basic teaching of how to maintain your skin (ladies as well as men!!!), from home-made to the expensive stuff. Also, I'm not a make-up artist professionally by any means, but having been in the Theatre for so long, and being 'that one girl', I've got much much much experience in application of make up, and have tested alot of different makeup. So I'm good for makeup-tips and brands as well.
I can also Cook (Americanized Finnish, Mexican, and Southern style are my current strong-points. I'm working on being able to make a mean Curry, and Fried Rice.), Have a good basic knowledge of herbalism/holistics, am a bit of a Movie Buff, Worked backstage in a handfull of Films and a TON of Theatre, Have lived and traveled America muchly (and London a little bit), Have a general academic fascination with the Occult, am a really amateur psychologist, and am part of a little, tiny, slightly lazy Paranormal Investigation group (just investigation, no cleansing or exorcising, its more of a project of a few cynics and some equipment.)
