This blog post will probably end up adding zero value to your day =D
.
And apologies for neglecting to blog.. I’ve been busy (as usual -__-”).. Traveling and shit. But more on that later..
.
A friend of mine recently started a blog. I was pretty keen to see what he would produce until I saw the entries and decided, being the competitive bitch I am, to best him at being… Shall we say… Mundane and obscure…
.
So I thought I’d do some entries on my more obscure skills, and racked my brains thinking of the boring things I knew. What? Did I say boring? I meant obscure.
.
After eons spent thinking of things I am good at or enjoyed doing that weren’t typical or common, I came up with the following list:
Things I am good at that not many other people are good at
Being Awkward
Feigning Interest in things
Faking things
Being obsessive and paranoid
Walking
Getting lost
The only thing I can really tell other people about is walking. I have this fantastic ability to walk in a variety of ways. Here are the ways I can walk:
Cherlynn’s patented styles of walking (in order of frequency of use)
1) Normal walking
- Usually seen only at home or in friends’ homes where amount of walking required is minimal
2) Walking and tripping
- Walking and tripping over air pockets
- Walking and tripping over own feet
- Walking and kicking/injuring self
- Walking and tripping over actual obstacles
3) Walking to music
- Walking to emo music – as if you are in a Music Video
- Walking to dance music – as if you are on a runway
- Walking and trying to change the music in iPod (often results in Walking style #2)
4) Walking in crowds (mostly involves putting on pissed-off face and stomping around, nudging people out of the way)
- Walking behind slow people
- Walking behind people who stop abruptly in the middle of nowhere
- Walking with a destination in mind
5) Walking in malls
- Usually a combination of 2+4
- Walking in circles
- Walking towards random items on display with no regard for obstacles in path
- Walking without regard for companions
.
I can totally give tutorials on all the above. Let me know if you want any tutorials on my patented styles of walking!
.
Of course, what blog entry is complete without some pictures? Here are a bunch of pictures for you..:
.
Pretty nice pictures, right? Alright I’m done for now, but I’ll be back with more awesome (*cough* boring *cough*) blog entries soon……..ish!! (But for real, Imma post about some actual obscure skills of mine next time =) Think programming, storyboarding.. etc!)

Good to hear from you! All of your walking styles make me giggle. That’s hilarious! Especially tripping over air pockets, haha! I suck at walking in crowds. I can also trip up the stairs! I love your pictures!

I’m pretty good at walking style 2, (I once managed all those things in the space of 5 seconds and broke a friends table,) but I would love, love, love a tutorial for style 4, especially walking behind people who stop abruptly in the middle of nowhere. I rarely get to practice this because I’m usually the slow person stopping abruptly.
I’d quite like to hear about your talent for getting lost at some point. :-p
Great pictures by the way!

@Anna, haha i can abslutely imagine you doing that(the breaking a friend’s table thing) haha. Tutorial for style 4 would be difficult as I move way too quickly and pretty much HATE crowds haha
i will probably post about getting lost though. That’s one of my most powerful skills =D
ah thanks =P
