    I was singing in the car, along with the radio, and was wishing I didn't sound like a cat with it's tail caught in a door. I sing at the top of my lungs when I'm in the car by myself, but I'd be completely mortified if anyone else actually heard me. I'm terrible. Awful. But I love belting out the words to tunes I love. Just wish I could carry a tune in a bucket, sometimes, lol.

    Anyone feel like sharing what you wish you were a goddess at?

    Languages. Hands down. I try really hard to be good at both spoken and computer programming languages and I'm just terrible at them.

    @Wonderwoman217: I wish I could dance. I always feel like I look super hot dancing, then catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and am just SO embarrassed by my spastic movements.

    I always watch "so you think you can dance" and just WISH I could be graceful and move like they do.

    I wish I could play the harmonica. I have huge amounts of adoration for it, and I tried a few years ago, but I just suck. I don't have the spatial skills to know which holes to cover on the front and I definitely don't have the lungs for it.

    Weird, I know, but it's just something I've always wanted to do.

    @Mrs Grape: Yup, EXACTLY. I take Zumba class and I always feel like I look so good because I'm watching the instructor. Then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror all sweaty and red-faced and wonder why no one has called an ambulance yet because I look like I'm having some sort of fully body seizure.

    OMG everything.  I dont have any special talents and I feel very ordinary.

    I wish I could play the drums, guitar and skateboard really well.  I would also like to sing.   Basically, I wanna be a rockstar

    ETA: Um I wish I knew how to dance really well, but cool dance like hip hop or something awesome like that.

    I suck at dancing (I want to do ballet soooo badly), singing (oh gosh, I sing all the time at work which makes the kids laugh) and public speaking (I always seem to butcher words and forget everything that I had prepared). HAHA

    @deetroitwhat: I LOVE guitar hero, but I can only do well on easy.

    I wish I could cook without a recipe. I wish I could just improvise a delicious meal from what we had in the kitchen rather then always having to run out for that one forgotten ingredient!

    I wish I could play the piano. I'm just not at the point right now where I can learn, and I wish I had chosen that when I was younger to persue.

    @KatNYC2011: I'm the same with dancing! I think I can dance and then realize that I probably look like Elaine from Seinfeld dancing! Haha...

    @2PeasinaPod:Haha, my best friend actually dances just like Elaine. He's completely uncoordinated. It's especially funny, because he's gay, and there's the stereotype that he should be a good dancer, but he's just bad.

    @KatNYC2011: Also, I would consider myself a dancer.  I danced for a long time, and then in high school for four years.  I do Zumba 3 times a week at least, or some other kind of dance class...so I just want to tell you... THERE ARE NO RULES.  No one thinks you look stupid and no one is paying attention.  The more you let go, the better you will be and the better you will feel.  So shake that ass and don't even think twice about it!!

    @Wonderwoman217: Awe, poor guy! Does he know he dances like Elaine or is everyone afraid to tell him?

    We have a friend who totally knows she's a bad dancer but just doesn't care and takes her spastic movements out on the dancefloor anyway. She makes us all laugh and she's having fun, so that's all that counts!

     @MissHobbit: I'm horrible with languages, too! Hated Spanish and French in school because I was sooo bad. Now, I am working on learning Hindi (husband is Indian) and that is a struggle. <sighs> Wish it were easier!

    Mine would be singing. I am a horrible singer and would love to be able to sing well!!

    Running!

    I have asthma, and even when I exercise a lot and am in decent shape, I can't run to save my life. Which would suck if I really needed to do so to actually save my life! But seriously, I even dream that I am going running, not in that yucky "being chased" kind of dream but in the dream I think to myself, "it's a beautiful day to go for a jog" and I can feel myself flying past the people around me. I have only recently started a new maintenance med for my asthma, so I'd like to give it another try in the future.

    Also agree with all the people who wish they could dance. I can sing and I used to really want to be on Broadway "when I grew up," but then I realized you have to be good at both at the same time. Not me!

    @KatNYC2011: Oh god.  I fail at Zumba.  It's absolutely ridiculous.

    I wish I was amazing at drawing/painting.  I think that would help me tremendously.  I can barely draw stick figures.

    Singing here too.

    I'm so tonedeaf..... one time, a long time ago, a guy I was dating asked if I could avoid singing in church, because I was distracting him.

    I've never really gotten over it, and don't like to sing when anyone can hear me now. But if I'm home alone and the Glee soundtrack comes on the iPod deck, I belt it out, hahahahaha

    Definitely singing. I've debated taking singing lessons but I'm shy even to sing in front of an instructor! I'll only sing in front of DH. Oh except for the one time I knew all the words to a Salt n Peppa song and sang along in front of one of my BMs. She officially thinks I'm nuts. LOL!

    I wish I was a better cook. I've wasted so much money on culinary adventures and classes, but I just suck. I can't even make a decent grilled cheese!

    I'm glad my husband can cook (very well too) or my daughter would be eating macaroni and cheese every day!

    Sports. I can't run, can't catch a ball, can't hit a ball with anything. Best I can do is cover my face and hope it doesn't hit me and break my teeth (which it has before). I also walk and run on tiptoe which is a habit I just can't change. I always got a very amused crowd in junior high school P.E. classes to watch my "basketball ballet".

    Also playing pool, which I suck at for reasons mentioned above. Girls who are good at pool always look so cool.
