what seemingly normal skills did you never develop?
i can't roll a joint to save my life and can usually only parallel park if the spot is the size of a luxury liner.
i've tried, believe me, but a drunken monkey is more skilled than i am in both situations.

1. Your two and I'll up the ante with I can't blow a bubble with bubble gum
and a hundred other things I could name but I'm too ashamed.
Oh come now, don't be ashamed. We're all friends here.

3. i'll let you in on a dirty secret
cooking is my hobby and i can't make rice for shit. i can't even make it properly in a rice cooker.
it's my secret shame
edit: i should say i can't make white rice. i'm perfectly capable of making brown rice.
If I were fizzy's husband-- well, I'd shoot myself. But aside from that, I'd constantly be asking her to make white rice, so as to keep her in the kitchen, so I could sneak in watching more tidbits of Fox News.

12. i couldn't swim for any real distance
and i can barely skate.
Apparently fizzy in incapable of doing most things normal people can do. I would imagine if she keeps up her ballooning weight, she won't have to worry about swimming, because sinking will become an impossibility.

16. Applying make up, nail polish, dressing up like a girl, fixing up my hair
It's kind of amazing that in a family of all girls, I never learned any of those skills.
Does anybody know if this lumpenunterprimitiven is a boy or a girl?

18. i should have included that
i do like to do it a few times a year, but it's a very painstaking process. i don't bother with my hair, though. i clip it short and let it do what it does.

26. I can't drive.
That's a misstatement of sorts, but not really. The state of CT says I cannot have a license. I do know how to operate a moving vehicle provided I don't need to back-up. It wasn't ever that important to me to learn anyways...I'm a city kid. I take public transit or cabs everywhere.
On August 17, 2011, the Chan primitive was fired from its job, and looks to have been populating the unemployment rolls ever since.

35. Life
I'm afraid it's that simple...
One honest primitive says what all of them are thinking.
