Other things I Enjoy Doing:
although I acknowledge I have no talent for these activities:

Art-

I sketch like an elementary school student and can't draw hands or fingers to save my life. But I admire art and find it fun to sketch scenes and characters. I don't have any desire to refine my abilities. I don't save my work, and I only use pencils. I draw for the release and for the fun!

Music-

Playing piano...though I skip notes and play the wrong ones! I have to write the notes in for the bass clef because I never did learn properly; I will never be a decent musician, but I love memorizing simple pieces of classical music. After I do, the challenge is over and I stop playing...and then miss it! And have to learn the same pieces all over again.

Baking-

I reeeeally like baking! I like making adorably decorated cupcakes and interesting cookies. I also like cake mix baking and cheating with ready-made cookie dough. I don't see any way to go wrong with baking. :)

Miscellaneous Stuff I Love:

• Karaoke (there is video of me on the Random Ridiculous page, click on the tab above!).
• Dancing around my living room.
• Going to the park and playing on the swings.
• Taking pictures of things, especially nature.

Current Addictions:

Video Games- If there's a new Legend of Zelda game out, chances are, I'm searching for heart pieces and gathering rupees. Otherwise, my favoritey-favorite game of all time is World of Warcraft! Horde for life... Lok'tar!

Shows- I can always watch Punky Brewster and Inuyasha, two shows that have nothing in common, but I've loved them foreverrrrs. Right now my favorites are The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Ushio and Tora. 

ANTI-Favorites:

I'm no good at and greatly dislike...

Gardening. I do love pretty flowers, and walking through gardens, but I have no abilities whatsoever with plants. Every plant I've ever tended has died.

Math and Science. I wish it weren't so, but it is. I have a bad memory as it is, and when it comes to numbers, formulas, equations...ugh! I'm the WORST.

Cooking. I'm capable of creating edible meals, and I even like making certain special dishes. But day to day cooking is the pits. And yes, it's very different from baking!
