Skills I Really Want to Learn
I love the thought of being multi-talented, and there are so many skills that I want to learn:
- How to speak Spanish and French. I wish I had started learning these years ago, it would be so handy for travelling!
- How to sew. At the moment my sewing skills are limited to mending and replacing buttons.
- How to play the harp.
- How to do an illusion
- How to surf
What strange and unusual skills do you most want to have?

1. I would love to learn first aid. Unfortunately, I'm very squeamish when it comes to blood and open wounds!
2. How to ballroom dance. I am saving this for when my relationship needs a pick me up!
3. I would love to know how to create websites and use Photoshop. So far, I've picked up a few things here and there, but I wouldn't say I'm skilled.
4. Learn to speak Italian.
1. I want to know how to play the banjo! (My boyfriend + I keep an extended list of obscure instruments we wish we knew how to play.)
2. Tapdancing- c'mon, how cool does that look?
3. Various gymnastics- I would love to know how to run up a wall + do a flip, how to do a backflip, how to balance on obscure things...

3. The splits. I used to be able to, and I'd like them back, if only for bragging rights :)
4. Like Beth, I also would like to play an obscure instrument, though mine is the musical saw.
1. Speak Japanese fluently. I've studied it for about three years now, but I'm know where near being fluent.
2. I want to be able to sing. That way when my boyfriend plays guitar, I can sing along. Or, I'd also like to play the acoustic guitar so I can play along with my boyfriend.
3. I wish I could do a cartwheel. I'm one of the few people in the universe who never learned to do a cartwheel. Sad.
