Weddingbee boards
HI Bees,
Let's get to "know" each other. What are some cool talents/hobbies that you have to share with us?
I play the violin, like sudoku and cooking, am obsessed with Japan, animals,babies and elderly people, and love music, reading, and quotes. That's just to name a few.
Your turn!
How fun!
There are so many interesting, lovely people on here.
I love design.. anything... graphic, web.
I am inherently a DIY person, so my wedding is like a giant art project.
Also into photography, gardening, and our two amazing dogs.
I can play flute and bass guitar. = ) I also write poetry like nobody's business!
Great thread!
I play the piano quite well, and have done gymnastics/cheer/dance in some capacity or another for 20 years of my life - taking the last two off to go back to school and let my knees rest.
I also have this really weird sense of direction and I can tell you which way North is ALL of the time.
@Sarah71710 - I have the opposite of your talent. I can get lost in my own house...
GREAT THREAD!
I LOVE to dance and I teach hip hop and was on a multi-cultural dance company all 4 yrs of college, also have a minor in dance. I also own my own dance biz choroegraphing wedding first dances and other special occasion dancing/dance instruction! :)
I love to travel, try new things, LOVE rollercoasters and anything fast and exciting, love horror movies, total TV/Movie head! Love going to concerts, disney world, and wedding bee :)
can't wait to learn more about each of you!
Hmmm... I used to be a really good singer, but almost 20 years of no practice and smoking has ruined that (I don't smoke anymore, though).
I'm obsessed with music.
I like to write, although I'm not very good at it.
I play Scrabble on my iPhone constantly.
And of course, there's my fashion blog, which I am forever pimping on here! ;)
I'm an opera singer, a wine "expert" (I'm the one my friends call when they need a bottle to impress someone!), and a sporadic knitter. If I could travel constantly, I would, but my husband might disown me if I did!
ohhhhh interesting facts about everyone.
Miss Moo....you love Japanese stuff too? Have you ever been?
Hmm okay
Oooh, the violin. I've been meaning to learn. Along with my flute that I paid $3 for and have had for a good 10 years.
I do the sudoku, jumble, and sometimes the crossword daily. Often I do several.
I enjoy video games.
I'm semi-learning Japanese, Korean, and Russian at the same time, but don't know much of any. I'm thinking I'm going to focus on Russian for now, since I can't find any of my useful Japanese books.
I play the piano. One came with the house, I was super-excited.
I keep the weirdest collections: small toys, ramune marbles, odd dolls...
I like to cross-stitch and bake. My friends from pre-college would not believe the mushy-domestic type I've become. >.>
I love all things vampire...and this was before they became so chic. Pre-twilight.
I adore music, my dogs, I've written a childrens book but it's not published and I have a few more in my head. I'm starting my own business soon. I love Polish Pottery and if I could work with animals every day for the rest of my life I would never take a day off.
I am an absolute bookworm! I have like 5 bookcases full of books. I have my B.A. in English and Social Science as well as an M.A. in English.
I love planning trips and going to different places but have never been out of the country.
I studied French for 4 years and am dying to go somewhere where I can actually use it.
I am the person my friends go to when they need to know a random fact or how to spell a word. I'm been dubbed "the walking dictionary," "the human encyclopedia" and a few other names like that, and my husband refuses to play Scrabble with me...ever.
Ooh, fun thread!
I ride and train horses and am training my horse, a 4 year old Mustang, in dressage.
I can cook vegetarian dishes and desserts like nobody's business.
I'm a freakishly fast reader. Not that this is a talent, per say, but it really creeps people out. (For example, I finish tests first every.single.time, and can easily read a book a night if I'm not too dead tired.)
I also have a pretty easy time understanding accents and handwriting. Whenever we're at a foreign restaurant I have to talk to the waitstaff because R just sits there saying "I'm sorry, what?"
I sing. Have been singing for over 30 years in fact (I'm 40). Was featured twirler in college. In fact, during college football halftime games I could twirl up to 3 batons, knife batons and 3 batons of fire! Yea baby :)
Lots of singers here! Im another- I sing classically. Britten, Byrd, Tavener- the perfect way to relax.
I also have a degree in Creativity!
@PrincessDva, I do! I'm a huge bento lover and little knick knacks and stuff just cute me out! Hehe. I've got Chinese blood so that side of the world really fascinates me. Although I'm much more into Chinese mythology and history and Japanese cuteness! :) I've never been but I would love to one day. You?
MaisyMay, that sounds like me with the fascination with words.
MissMoo, yes I have been to Japan and am longing to go back. I have two young ladies that are my "sisters" that I met while over there. They have been here twice...so i guess it's my turn.
Heehee miss moo- now I know where your adorable Icon came from!
@Maisymay - I hear you on the books! My husband I just bought Kindles because we literally cannot fit another book into our house if we still want a place to sleep!
@surkim - do you take the marble out of the bottle? how do you get it out? melon flavor is my favorite <3
Um lets see....
I've been sewing since high school. I actually went to prom 3 times and made two of my dresses. No I will not post pics...thank you. Lol.
I am a total DIYer. So a lot of my wedding items will be my own creations.
I can sing but have stage fright so I would never be able to do it professionally.
I to love video games and beat the new mario for wii in 3 and a half days.
I own a daycare licensed to hold 80 kids per shift and we're open 1st and 2nd shift.
Went to school for floral design (certfication), medical assisting (degree & certification), accounting (certification), barber/cosmetology (degree and license) and early child care education (degree and license).
I to am a mom of a darling 2 and half year old little boy.
@monicka whoa! so many degrees and certifications...how long and when did you do each of those? awesome!!
everyone is so so talented!
My turn:
*I became the manager and boss of 70 people at age 22. I loved my job the first year and now I'm so happy to be leaving but I'm a great boss and it has given my resume an AMAZING boost :)
*I love to DIY crafts! I am etsy obsessed and my FH (very artist, I am more cardmaking, crafting, sewing, knitting and he is more drawing/painting/cartooning/etc) and I hope to open an etsy shop together :)
*I love to write and would love to write greeting cards :) cheesy happiness!
*I enjoy working out and shopping after I've worked out consistantly (yayy for more time soon to do this)
*I graduated from Michigan State University and I bleed green ;)
*I love to journal and scrapbook and can't wait to have a bunch of stuff from the wedding!!
1. My first language is French
2. I'm a trivia show maniac (FI even like to brag about it!)
3. I'm unusualy good with orientation (even drunk in Rome!!)
4. I love gossip magazine and know more celebrities that I would like to admit
@sewing, melon is the BEST. Regular melon soda is even better!
There's a particular brand (not sangaria, and not yappari) that has a screw off blue part.
If I'm feeling determined and it's a brand without the screwy blue thing, then I will pry the blue thing off.
I guess I should have said that I have a crazy soft-spot for international groceries, but that's not really a talent/hobby, unless you consider driving around town to find them to be a hobby. >.>
My talent regarding shops, is that I have a Dollar-Tree-dar. I will find most any and every dollar-shop that is not a Dollar General.
My family has a musical gene that I inherited. Lots of people with perfect pitch, music professors, etc. As birthday gifts my grandmother would bring us to the symphony! I play the flute, pic, and handbells, and sing. I'm sorry I haven't learned how to play piano or guitar...luckily for me, my SO does those two things and sings, so we write music and record songs together.
I like sewing. That's another family thing, though I'm just teaching myself by experimentation.
I'm also picking up gardening and interior design.
My dad works in construction and taught me early on how to be handy around the house. (He had three girls before he got a son, and since I was the firstborn, I got an eldest son-esque treatment, haha.) I have no problems mowing the lawn, fixing the sink, and killing bugs, but laundry intimidates me. Go figure.
I'm a writer. That's been a major part of my identity all my life.
I spend so much time on the computer writing that I'm a ridiculously fast typist.
Cool thread.
I was a dancer my whole life & taught classes until a really bad back injury made me get "a real job".
I can bake magic in my oven. I can't cook to save my life but for some reason all my baked goods come out really good.
I've always wanted go into interior design. I'm thinking about doing going back to school for it in the next couple years. Most of my friends in recent years who've bought a home have come to me for design advice. I can't get enough of it.
When I put my mind to it, I can be a really good writer. My boss has told me I should quit working for him and go work for a publishing house. I guess it would make more sense than what I'm doing right now, I was a Journalism major.
I'm really good at sucking at DIY. It's incredible how terrible I am. Sometimes I amaze myself.
Um - I dunno if it's a talent, but I've never lost a game of flip cup. Ever.
@ Crebre: the "biomedical engineering major at an ivy league school" thing -- that is SO COOL!! I never would've guessed that (meant in the coolest possible way of course ;))
@Dancy - ohhh, can I second being incredible at sucking at DIY? I have the best intentions, and whatever I make turns out nothing like I pictured it.
im awesome in: writing, dancing, painting, cooking and being a mom
im good in: singing and getting anything online (i mean anything)
Great thread!
I danced competitively and did gymnastics for nearly my entire life.
I'm big into action sports. I love NASCAR, Supercross and anything with dirt bikes.
I inherited the musical/art gene in my family and I love it.
I can read books like nobody's business. I love them.
I did some really cool stuff with acting when I lived in California. I miss it. That was my true passion.
I love traveling, photography, my Catahoula pup- Luke, loud and fun music and I love movies.
<3
WOW, great thread and I feel so inadequate now!! like I should get up and start doing something more !
ok, here goes;
I can make a mean mohito and dirty martini!
I can decorate the hell out of any room on a budget and love collecting vintage finds at yard sales and etsy!
bartended before becoming a paralegal and have a knack of tolerating the most obnoxious, rediculous, mean, snotty people that life throws at me with out losing my mind!
I can play guitar hero really well when I'm drunk!
can plan and oversee corporate meetings and love "high maintenance" clients like no ones business! the more high maintenance the better!
love planning our wedding and all the fun, hell and stress that comes with it!
have 3 amazing sons and love being a Mom
can read really fast and unfortunately I run out of books to read too soon!
I'm grateful for what I have and try to not complain about the little things in life...
@leelee- you're a girl after my own heart! I LOVE mojitos!!! And another thing... try playing "Operation" when you've been drinking... it's crazy fun ;]
<3
I've been a member of a color guard for 7 years - I spin a mean flag with a marching band (and have written tons of routines!). I also play bass clarinet.
I speak spanish nearly fluently when I'm drunk...but I get nervous when I'm sober...
I love all things crafty - knitting, sewing, papery stuff, etc
I have a knack for making great drinks out of random things - I'd make a great bartender if they all didn't require previous experience :\
@misschocolate: ohh I'll have to try that one! thanks for the idea 
I could go for a mohito now! it's my favorite Summer drink and I grow my own mint and make my own mint infused simple syrup!! Fresh sugar cane garnish and we're all good!
This is such a great post! Okay...
I absolutely love photography, and am trying to bring back 35mm :) I love being in a darkroom and have had some kickass prints and designs displayed at my school.
I've raised several different kinds of saltwater invertebrates and done research on them...have a fish tank question?
I have a freakish memory for scientific names.
I can read really fast, and love doing crosswords. I try to make myself faster.
I've won Jeopardy from my couch several times ;)
Love learning more about you all!!
@leelee- My goodness, girl!!! You're AWESOME!!! Mojitos are my favorite all around... blended or on the rocks= deliciousness!!! I bet yours are amazing being that it's homegrown!!! YUM!! Mojitos are going to be our signature drink for our wedding ;]
You ladies are awesome and I am having fun learning about you.
@surkim - ahh! here i was thinking maybe you were smashing it open! hehe. I'm going to try and get the marble out next time now! and yes, melon soda and melon cream soda and melon pan is awesome! not that i have a melon fixation or anything. ;)
