Or, **** you can't believe you only just figured out.
I only realised that "AKA" stood for "also known as" a few years ago.
I still have trouble with units of measurement. Most specifically weight.

Mental arithmetic involving numbers not ending in a 5 or 0. I got an A for my final high school exam in Maths, but I still have trouble doing 17 + 29.
Typing with more than two fingers, and using the shift key to type capital letters.
Donkey Kong Country 2 is not called Diddy Kong's Quest. And, in turn, Diddy's Kong Quest = Diddy's Conquest.
I thought "GTFO" stood for "get the **** off" until only a while ago. Mainly due to fags saying "GTFO my /b/"
Most forms of mental math.
Working out a schedule for timed events (I'd be terrible at comic-con).
Pleasentries. I've always hated small talk, so as a child I'd avoid every oppurtunity that presented using it. Now, I'm an awkward SoB.
Pastries. I've always hated small things, so as a child I'd avoid every oppurtunity that presented eating them. Now, I'm an awkward SoB.
I need some sleep. I guess sometimes I struggle with that.
Speaking of math I struggle with all math that doesn't include subtraction or addition, whether mental or written. I actually don't know how to write out and solve a multiplication question.
but that's boring, more later.

I can't do numbers that are double digits or more. so, like 23x45. I've forgotten what you do for the part before the line lol
and I'd have to solve that your question with my fingers... so bad at math

Oh you. ;)
Haha, I'm better at math than Vamp.
I struggle with selective listening. My ears work fine but I have lots of trouble hearing what other people say when there's other noises, quiet or not.
everyone is better at math than me
My math philosophy: Doing math isn't hard, learning it is.
Just a bunch of tricks and if statments, really.
this is true
maths isnt difficult to do, it's just remembering each step of a formula that is
I'm pretty good with algebra and formulas related to it. Just not the numbers. I never learned my multiplication tables, but I learned all the formulas, so idk.
UNLESS it's applied math. Like written word algebra. Really bad at applying formulas.
No, I really can't do math. It's to the point where occasionally around the house I just yell equations when I need them in vague hopes someone answers me.
Example would be while playing Psychonauts in the living room, for every 9 psicards you have you can get an item if you combine them with one psicore. I had 45. I just yelled "Hey, what's the nearest divisble of 9 to 45?"
I was answered with "5" and derisive laughter, and went about my business.
thinking of things to say for these kind of threads
I'm decent at mental math, but like someone else mentioned, I can't calculate double digit multiplication that doesn't end in a 5 or 0. I can do long division in my head, though, which surprises some people. Including me.

I could NOT agree with you more. I guess it's not so much that I'm incapable of doing it, I just despise doing so. It's especially frustrating when I realize that I live around people who insist on me putting up a sugary sweet facade around them when I'd do almost anything to tell them to fuck off and leave me alone.
[quote=Ant]thinking of things to say for these kind of threads
This too. I'm sure I'll come up with some more later, as I know I have plenty of flaws.
I avoid small talk by rambling! I enjoy it too. Never really know what I'm gonna say until I say it and so far it hasn't steered me wrong. As far as I know anyways.
OH, just thought of another major one. One thing I've always had difficulty doing is keeping in touch with friends, both offline AND online. It's not that I like the person any less (well, that's not always the case :D), it's just that there's something that keeps me from taking the initiative to call them, set something up, etc. Same goes for signing on messenger and talking to people on a regular basis. At one point I actually had about ten AIM names, each one with one or two people that I'd talk to assigned to it. I couldn't (and still can't) stand talking to more than one or two people at a time, and even then it's not usually for very long. I just get fed up and leave. I need to tell more of my friends that if they really want to keep in touch with me, they need to call me and set stuff up. Then I'll usually be perfectly content to accompany them, though there are still those times when I'll ignore them or tell them to do something without me. Yeah, I'm not exactly the most social person. Sometimes at social gatherings I'll be enjoying myself along with everyone else, doing whatever, until something just snaps and I turn a sharp 180 degrees. My demeanor changes completely and I get desperate to get the hell out of wherever I may be at the moment. I guess I just reach a limit at a certain point. My short term memory is shot, too; I'll think about something one second and literally forget about it ten seconds later.
Oh, and I REALLY hate brushing my teeth; it's been that way since I was a kid. I usually have no problems keeping other aspects of my hygiene intact, but I'll only brush my teeth every once in a while when I force myself. Six teeth pulled out, countless trips to the dentist, and months doped up on morphine to ease the pain, and I still find it difficult to give a shit. I'm really going to have to push myself on that, though. :(
Small talk sucks because it's so insincere. Still, gotta do it with people you know, or else real conversations with them will be scarce and awkward.
huh, mental math is one of the only things I'm good at. even with really weird decimal answers like 56.4/7. Usually not off by more than one decimal place, so I;m gifted in that regard I guess.
not much else though
I walk out of the house with the door open and with the faucet running and the range on. I lose things extremely easy, and everything is always scattered and completely disorganized. I have trouble holding a conversation and focusing for more than a minute in general. I'd swear I'm mentally impaired at times. : /
My entire family is bad at math, however we make up for it with being quick learners. At least when it comes to languages and grammar and such.
I wonder how the hell the floss companies stay in business.
easily I'm sure. keep in mind this IS a video game based chat forum.
I don't follow. Video games are fun. Flossing sux, and nobody likes doing it.
I hate flossing, and the few times I do, it's on such an infrequent basis that my gums bleed.
bad hygiene. I mean, I don't like to floss either. but most other people I know don't seem to mind doing it.
I gave up brushing my teeth for a couple of years, went back to do doing it, and the first time I spat out paste it was brown with little pools of blood in it. Awesome in a disgusting way. Makes me wonder what the **** people in days of yore did.
you all must have had horrible breath. :D
I don't have a problem brushing my teeth. I find showering to be a mighty unpleasant experience though. One I'm forced to do every day, or at least every other day. The whole process is too time consuming and if I had the choice I'd just never shower. ALAS, odor isn't cool.
Oddly enough, I dispize brushing my teeth unless I'm IN the shower.
I don't mind showering or brushing my teeth. I just tend to brush my teeth only if I'm going away someplace. Although I tend to shower almost every morning.
wouldn't you just brush your teeth while you're showering?
studying is for chumps. just pay attention to the lectures and take basic notes to assist in your remembering the topic. Referring to notes, for me anyways, just ****ed me up on tests. Study the wrong thing or remember it in a different order or whatever. But if I just let myself recall the lectures or the hand movements from writing my notes I was far more accurate and did far better.
plus, chumps, etc
I just didn't like taking notes, in general. and look at me now!

...It doesn't? D:
Get the **** off.
But since it's only letters it can mean anything!
I also suck at the toothbrushing part, although I've been good for a couple of years now, since my dentist told me to stop being lazy and brush'em, it's bothersome, but, whatever.
I've never flossed, and never will.
Lol, strings are for queers.
And I hate being wrong.
Or no, not really.
I hate not knowing.
And I hate when someone else is certain when they're wrong, always ****es me off.
Hmm, and I don't like the formal talk, either.
I'm probably lucky for not meeting a cop in the US, there's be no "Y ello thar, Sir!"
Lol, sir.
I also struggle with a Spanish accent. Always comes out French-Canadian.
man, that's the best accent ever.
"Joe you just drink and gamble, you never sleep!"
Only accent I can do well is Indian, and that's because it's pretty much a job requisite. Every time I sell a credit card to someone in the store I have to phone an Indian call centre to validate it. They don't seem to understand you unless you talk like Apu.
Please come again!
I struggle with math in general, most specifically calculus. So much so that I very likely failed my calculus final this morning and therefore the entire class. It will be the first time I ever failed something so I'm feeling pretty :( about it.
Relating to the current bit, I can do a variety of accents pretty well. I've taken several years of Spanish and German, so that's probably why I've learned how to emulate them.
Are you for scuba? As long as you are for scuba, I am 'appy!
He had the best accent ever.
who had the what now?
I thought about this for a long time, and finally figured out what I struggle with. The alphabet!
I can recite it just fine, but I'm terrible at figuring out, say, whether J is before or after T without starting from the beginning and going through it mentally. My mind gets super muddled if I try to reason it out any other way. So either I suck at it, or everyone else does the same thing and no one has never told me. ^,_________,^
I also struggle with right and left when I have to say it suddenly. Like in games or when someone is driving and I need to give directions. I always say right when I mean left and vice versa. Most people just know well enough to know I meant the opposite.
Wow. That's just retarded. You're retarded, CJ.
=(
Brushing your teeth in the shower is actually a good idea. Makes both processes seem less of a chore when you knock them out together.
Can't think of anything original. :(
Hate small talk and I kinda suck at math in general, particularly anything higher than Algebra I, etc.. Not as bad as Judge and his Psychonauts story, but more the "if it doesn't end in 5 or 0" thing. I can do 7s pretty well, though. THANKS, FOOTBALL!
"WHERE DID YOU GET SHOT FROM?!"
"UH LEFT SIDE"
"ALL RIGHT THANKS. I'LL GET HIM"
"**** I DIED *******IT"
"wait, I meant the right"
I could single-handedly bring down my entire team in rainbow six with my awesome directions.
I have a really big birth mark on my right hand, so I never forget.
"THE X WHERE DID YOU GET SHOT FROM?"
"WELL, MY BIRTHMARK IS ON MY RIGHTHAND SO THE RIGHT!"
Pretty much.
We all have Achilles' heels... :(
That doesn't excuse you from having more than 2.
Hey, I can count up a few we all have. *Shrug.* Humans are so fragile, if you hit the right spots~
Or you could, of course, just run them over with a car.
That won't stop me.
Such determination will get you further in life than anything!
Gott!
NEJ!
FUUUUCK FUUUUUUCK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I struggle at talking to people that aren't like me
I don't really have a lot of friends because of it
my wrists are pretty cut up
that's commonplace
right?
being a faggot is pretty common, yes
:(
