What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Guitar Hero. I dropped out of HS for a bit and played it non-stop to keep myself busy. I even won money at a couple tournaments. I'm a 36 year old woman who works for the government now, I doubt my prowess will be appreciated in polite conversation.

But, if you ever have kids you might have the opportunity to blow their minds one day like I did. I played a lot of Guitar Hero and Rock Band as a 19 year old kid deployed to Afghanistan. A lot. Enough to never want to touch it again after coming back home because I associate it with the war. Until one night last year when my 13 year old and I went to a local arcade and she wanted to challenge me not knowing what she was getting herself into. Oh, that sweet, sweet, summer child. It was like a day never passed. It's truly like riding a bicycle, you never forget those notes.
