Avoiding Life One Post at a Time

Moving...

I initially signed up for Typepad for a bit of market research.  If I'm going to help people learn to blog I'd like to be familiar with all the systems.  So with over a year on Typepad, I feel happy enough with what I've seen and ready to move to Wordpress, which I much prefer and it's free.  Free is good.  So please redirect (feed changed too, sorry) to:

Unshared Talent Meme

Image via Wikipedia

So there was some craic on Twitter the other day with people discussing strange or unspoken talents.  Sinead shared her incredibly impressive eyebrow dance. She suggested starting a meme where we all expose something silly or unknown like that.  So since no one else has, I'm instigating it.

As for me, very few people in Ireland know that I used to be a classically trained singer.  I never enjoyed opera very much but I loved show tunes, and still do!  So here is me singing a few, much to the disgust of my voice teachers:

I Still Believe - From Miss Saigon, a duet with myself, great person to work with that other me! ;-)

Evergreen - My favourite love song

Someone Like You - From Jekyll & Hyde

They are from a CD I recorded when I was about 17, back when I was fabulous as Tommy Tiernan would say! :)  Accompanied by not himself, but another wonderful pianist, Joseph Bowlby. Anyone up for blogger karaoke anytime soon??? ;-)

Now, who else wants to share some crazy talent that we might not know about?

I am proposing the following people might have something to share:

Grannymar
K8 the GR8
Lottie
Sabrina
Burkie
Rick O'Shea
LeCraic
Darragh

Whadaya say guys?? :D  It can be something like singing or art or something completely off the wall.  I want to see what you come up with! Share and tag some other people, let's see what us Irish bloggers can do! :)
