I'm so much more coordinated now than I was a kid, I should really try to learn more stuff again. I "played" tennis from like 5th through 12 grades and was always terrible, until the end of high school, when I finally started being able to deal with my body.

Oh, and I need to actually give my parents the dacing lessons I offered them for Christmas. Not that I'll be teaching, that I'll be buying.

ita, did you do handsprings? I think a goal of mine should be able to do a back handspring at 35.

Can you play any instrument? Hold a tune when singing?

I used to play piano, now, nsm. I can still sing, though!

I have a good sense of rhythm, but zero dance ability. I was never comfortable enough in my own skin as a child or teen to learn how to loosen up enough.

I also used to be a pretty good tennis player. I wish I'd kept it up.

The summer I was three years old, we had an extended stay at a motel with a pool, and I practically lived in the pool all summer.

I just learned on my own to swim underwater, I never learned to swim properly.

We haven't even hit on the childhood crafty and arts skills.

I can glue macaroni on a picture frame like a motherfucker.

I would love to learn ballroom dancing and belly dancing. I can get down with my funky self when I'm alone with the door closed and the curtains drawn.

edit: though the cats probably are snickering to themselves when I do.

I offered to cover someone's powerbook with masking tape and adding shoe polish for a faux corkboard look. She declined.

No fair making me laugh!

did you do handsprings?

No, sadly. I was crap. I had no physical coordination skills until I was done with puberty. Which took a while.

A gymnast friend offered to teach me five years ago, thought it should be no problem. Hmm.
