Sports
I've always wanted to be one of those people who is good at sports. To that end, I've acquired just about every kind of sport equipment imaginable; windsurfer, surfboard, rock climbing shoes, and the list goes on... In the end I've found that due to an utter lack of coordination, pretty much the only atheticism I can handle is running in a straight line (and possibly around curves as well, given that there are neon markers to keep me on the right path and no incongruities in the terrain). Sometimes I can adapt this skill to other arenas; in soccer or ultimate frisbee, it is often possible to steal the ball, or at least injure a member of the opposing team, simply by running really fast in the right direction.
