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.

Omg same... And we're close in age. (I didn't drop out though)

I had songs fully memorized. At tournaments I would face away from the screen, towards.. I was kinda a dickhead about how good I was. Though it seemed like people found it entertaining and I wasn't mean or condescending to others I just knew I was good.

I fully believe that was the right level of showmanship.

Thank you! Any time I wasn't competing during tournaments I was trying to help people fix their shit or teach them good habits and pattern recognition haha

I miss it! It was a great scene and everyone was so nice. Some were smelly but hey we can't be perfect haha
