1. I really love that Snape picture because it's such an inspiration to all budding artists. The difference between the first and the second drawing alone is phenomenal. It really does make me believe that anyone's talent can be nurtured if they put a bit of work into it. Alas, I am much more interested in making up for all the Suzy homemaker stuff I missed out on by working 17384768977546453 hours a week when I was younger. I still want to learn to can one of these days. Now I'm just content baking pies from scratch and tweaking recipes to make them low calorie but not taste like sawdust. My pumpkin pie is made of win. *pats self on the back*
2. Music, foods, and scents all bring back strong associations for me. Especially foods which I associate with people. My grandmother made the best pies and took all her recipes with her when she died. I've spent the last year trying to replicate her coconut cream pie. Which is particularly difficult to do if you never taste anything. ;D Al wasn't always heavy, but all his memories as a kid are around food.
3. Do not underestimate the power of spandex. After all, I can still wear the same spandex pants I wore pre-op. Believe me, that's some powerful shit.
4. Juggling? What would you do with this particular talent? It's not like it has any practical application like being able to sew or deep-throating. *cough*
5. I always think I'd want to see ghosts or UFO's, but I'm sure I'd piss myself if I saw either. I'm not keen on the whole anal probe thing and the aliens I keep reading about don't strike me as the vanilla sort.
