I hadn't considered myself bad at pinning until today, but trying to line up many many small diamonds has taught me that I am.
Has anyone discovered something they never considered themselves bad at, or that being bad at was an option?

Being able to fly when wearing a myriad of large capes
Seriously, I'm currently trying to make the cowl from Space Ghost, and struggling.

Since my seamstress skills are totally lacking, I don't bother.
I do simple work on leather belts and harnesses, but that is about it for costume skills.
All my costumes are "interpretations" using pieces that I can purchase in. Accurate costumes do not usually work for short, fat, bald, old men with glasses...unless of course you know of a suitable character?

You could always go as Elmer Fudd from Loony Tunes?
Well he's short and bald.
Also, you're not that short, you're at least 6 inches taller than me at 5'5"!

How about Uncle Iroh from the last airbender? Wander a convention just giving everyone confusing allegoric advice and wandering off again (it's been probably 12 years since I last went to a con, is it still acceptable to just chat with complete strangers?)
