I can draw, paint etc.
I am good at understanding complex things generally.
I am good at almost everything I do when I first try to do it. But then I mostly get worse unless I really try hard.

I can't snap my fingers very well.
I can't carry out a conversation for shit. And I seem to lose my short term memory instantly when I enter a conversation.
I can't think of anything else atm. Oh yeah I can make associations between almost anything really well also.

I can
- quickly connect facts
- remember things I've heard very well
- connect what I heard to where I heard it
- detect subtleties in what and how people speak
- get by at the university without taking any notes
- whistle using just my tongue

I can't
- goof around
- remember emotions
- intuitively read people
- listen to lyrics in songs
- learn the multiplication table
- feel comfortable in larger gatherings

i cant enjoy math

I can tell exactly what makes someone's face attractive or unattractive. While most people can't or maybe just don't bother judging that. If someone is unattractive because his or her eyes are too close together, or has cheekbones a bit too high, or more subtle things, I'll identify it, and it's what comes to mind immediately.

I can't judge people's emotions very well based on faces. On those Emotional IQ tests, where you're shown pictures of faces and have to select which emotion (anger, dismay, guilt or terror, for example) the person is feeling, I get more than half of the questions wrong.

i can tell emotions very well

I don't know about emotions, but I can tell when someone is lying very very well. But I seem to struggle with jokes etc.
Most of the time I just think the person is being serious, and this has led to many friendships being lost.

I'm a pro at reading emotions and I'm very able to see all sides to any story.

I cannot manage my budget to save my life.
I cannot easily handle negative emotions.
I cannot coddle my children but at the same time, disciplining them is almost impossible.

I can

Create Life
Lucid Dream
Speak fluently and comprehend 2 additional languages.
Write and read kanji, hiragana, katakana and some classical Chinese.
Code in JS,C++,C# and VB.
Draw
Write in cursive
Play an instrument (Shakuhachi)
Jam Skate (any jam skate trick you can think of I can do it)
Ride A bike backwards with no hands.
Pee standing 6 feet back away from the toliet and hit nothing but open bowl..lol (Seriously)
Tumble, do backflips, twist, roundoff's etc..
Sing in tune
Clap on beat
Dunk a basketball
Wish upon a star

I can't

Materialize anything/everything out of absolutely nothing, some kind of laws are preventing this but I keep trying anyway.

I'm one of those weird people who can wiggle their eyes.

Go ahead, search it on youtube.

I can't sleep with a normal blanket (have to be the a hall blanket)
I can't see blood without being sick
I can't stop crying to titanic

I can eat a lot.
I can see the best qualities in people, especially when they're feeling down.

I can't resist cute things and find myself naturally attracted to them. (like Pandabear's avatar, I want to hug it :3)
I can't listen to Little Dragon without bobbing my head somewhere.
I can't go very long without knowing the time, however I still cba to find and wear my watch.

I seem to be unable to keep track of more than one appointment at a time
I cannot easily tolerate someone being passive-aggressive: say what you need to say or keep your negative energy completely to yourself!
I do, however, forgive and forget easily.

i forgive easily... too easily

Play the piano (it's been a while, though)
Play music by ear
Speak and write a bit of Spanish (including the Spanish alphabet and all numbers), and understand some Latin.

Ride a motorcycle
Do a backflip, front flip and flip with a half twist, on a trampoline
Work a pair of nunchaku (newbishly)
Rock a pair of glowsticks (like a beast)

Whistle using my fingers
Make the creepy 'clicking' noise, like the Predator
Do a pretty good Chewbacca impression
Laugh like Woody Wood Pecker, Krusty the Clown and Nelson from the Simpsons
Jump the cue ball (pool/billiards)
Shoot behind the back (pool/billiards)
Cook (fairly well)

Type insanely fast
Bend the first joint of my fingers while keeping the others straight
Flex my tensor tympani muscle in my ears, producing a low, constant rumbling noise
Snap with both my middle finger and ring finger, on either hand.

I can't:
Listen to metal scraping metal without getting the chills.
Do math without visibly displaying my complete and total distaste, apathy and (in more extreme cases) lack of understanding for it.
Walk up to random chicks and 'hit on' them. (I'm good at flirting with someone over time, but not, say, picking up someone at a club)
Manage my fucking money.
Be a cold-hearted sonofabitch to someone who I honestly doesn't feel deserves it.
Get to work on time!
Run long distances
Ever go cave diving. Ever. (I have a friend who's a cave diver. There's no way in hell....)
Give a sh!t about fashion, and many other things that (mostly) materialistic people care about.
Finish any project that doesn't keep my interest.
Finish any book that doesn't keep my interest.
Seem to find a 'good catch', that hasn't already been caught.
Just let shit go, sometimes...
Think of anything else at the time. I've been drinking.

I can:

Snap my fingers. It sux, I can barely grab something firmly without my fingers getting stuck in place and hurtful. Been doing it for 10 years and can't stop doing it.

Drink till the point I pretty much puke blood and my liver hurts till the day after the day there after.

Sit shitting on the toilet for half an hour

I can't:

Take a piss in public restrooms

Smell

I can:
Do anything

I cannot:
Not do anything

I can't roll my Rs. or whistle very well. Or be on time for anything ever.

But I can er.. draw, sing in tune.. and play DDR? xD oh and say the alphabet backwards.

I wonder why it seems that more men whistle than females. Even while walking through a store or down the street, I hear guys often (especially older men) but MAYBE 1 or 2 women my entire life.
I am such a good whistler it is part of my identity. Sort of like singing. I'm not great at singing, but I can't imagine never being able to.

When I was trying to take Spanish as a teen, I couldn't roll my R's to save my life. But two of my animals have names with rolling letters: Vlashki [the L] and RoRoshka [both R's] and I have no problem with those lol.
