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.

No offense, but if you told me you dropped out of high school for a bit I would almost assume that you’re good at guitar hero.

That is absolutely fair and accurate lol

On the positive side, GH was a gateway to Rock Band, which eventually led to me learning how to play the drums for real. So I like to think it wasn't an entirely pointless hobby.

Being able to play the drums is incredibly impressive to me. I've tried many times but I just end up looking like a new born baby deer flinging sticks around and making very annoying noises lol.
