I'll list a few things.
1 - I am naturally an excellent swimmer. At the age of twelve I had a better 50 yard butterfly time then two full age groups above me. I took first in the state in everything I swam (I did not do breaststroke or backstroke - I never did medalies because I am so terrible at them). I had never taken a professional lesson in my life and my butterfly stroke impressed professional clinicians. All the time I'd have them confront me to tell me that they've never seen anything like that in their life. And I wasn't even tall. (consider: This is Arizona, one of the leading states in the country for swimming. If I could hold the Arizonan titles, then it's also a good bet that I hold many other times as well.)
2 - I am great in bed. One of the main reasons why I was so good at butterfly was because of the wave motion I could get with my body. This natural talent ALSO extends to sex.
3 - I am extremely intuitive. I can read people amazingly well.
4 - I am a good listener.
5 - I play a multitude of instruments very well. Starting in the order of best to worst: French horn, piano, trumpet, percussion, acoustic/electric guitar, baritone, tuba.
6 - I am very articulate, both in speech and writing. When I talk my words flow freely. You'll rarely ever hear me say, "Ummm."
7 - I was in the gifted education program. In 2nd grade we all had to do these 'math fact flashcard tests.' We could take them twice a week, and by the end of the year we had to have a certain amount done. The teacher reviewed in class all the time, but I never paid attention. I never practiced them. When I went in and took the tests, I never once missed ONE problem. I was finished with all mine before november, while the next person to finish did so in February - and she had done a lot of studying and a lot of practice.
So, the teacher put me into the Gifted Education program. There we did research projects and presentations all throughout my gradeschool education, which brings me to my next point...
8 - I am a good performer. The first time I performed on-stage was when I played Wilbur Wright (or is it Write?) in a school play. It was 4th grade, and I had to get up in front of everyone to sing and tap-dance.
I did so fearlessly.
Since then I've done stuff like musical solos, drama, speeches and a number of other performing arts things. I wasn't one of those 'attention whores' back then, and was relatively quiet. However, I was born with a natural confidence - it wasn't arrogance, that didn't come until later - but I have always been very confident.
9 - I am very good with spacial thought. Hence one of the reasons why I picked up animation so quickly.
10 - I don't talk frivilously in real life. I say what needs to be said; I do not speak compulsively.
11 - I get along great with moms. I don't know why, but it seems friends' moms, ALWAYS start to flirt with me, and I back.
I enjoy it because they're so experianced - but it's hilarious when you realize that their son or daughter is standing right there.
12 - I am funny.
13 - I am a natural-born leader. Many people claim this title, but few have ever actually proven it.
Even my freshman year of highschool I was practically leading the band, despite the drum majors. If there was something up people would always ask ME to know what they should do. I've always taken the lead for times when we host invitationals, class projects, or really anything else.
Edit:
14 - I am very agile and skilled in using weapons, since my arms are so naturally strong (not from lifting weights).
15 - I am a damn good batter. I was never very good at baseball, but I was always put fourth in the batting line. Even in little league I could frequently hit it out of the park; and I'm not even that big of a guy.
16 - I have a very low metabolism. I sleep and eat very little.
17 - I am very health-food conscious.
18 - I am an excellent debater.
19 - I've got great hair.
20 - I can meditate.
21 - I did the Estey thing.
