Napoleon Dynamite: Well, nobody's going to go out with *me*!
Pedro: Have you asked anybody yet?
Napoleon Dynamite: No, but who would? I don't even have any good skills.
Pedro: What do you mean?
Napoleon Dynamite: You know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.


I want to learn a new skill. Since I've moved recently to a new area I don't have much to do in the way of socializing. I figured I'd use my mass amounts of time to do something other than play League of Legends and WoW (although I'm down to play with anyone from TL :3) and learn a skill or talent or even find a new hobby!

Does anyone have any ideas? Preferably something that isn't too expensive as tuition/books already takes a big dent out of my wallet. My friends said I should learn harmonica or some magic tricks, both seem alright. Knitting, juggling, and cooking are also interests of mine. Knitting/cooking will actually produce something of value so I'll probably end up getting into either one some time in the future.

Any ideas TL? Something good for parties? Something to impress ladies? Something that's just a hell of a lot of fun to do?

Also looking for some good free multiplayer stuff or any good online Dungeons and Dragons clients if such a thing exists. :3.

RIP Aaliyah

In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

while it may not be the manliest of skills, i'm going to tell you to learn to speedsolve the rubik's cube.

another cool thing is juggling, which isn't that time consuming or expensive to learn.

Freestyling takes the vote. It's easy to find some instrumentals and it's good to be an ass to someone at a party while making it seem like good fun. You either need to be clever or listen to a lot of hip hop to understand it though.
Each day gets better : )

Confidence. Then it won't matter what you do.

Or the rubik's cube thing. Cause that gets you laid.

go for Magic bro, always impresses the ladies... I have a friend that is a level 2 magician (I think, since almost every single magic david blain possess he can do)

if not magic yeah, go for cooking, I want to learn to be a good Filipino cook myself.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

If you learn how to speed a rubiks DON'T be that lame-ass guy who whips it out at a party to try to look smart. You want to be the cool dude in the corner being like: "thats not really hard at all".... then embarrassing him and wandering off.
