Johnny is amazing with numbers. You can give him any random math question and he'll quickly figure out the answer in his head.
That is fantastic and all - but really, when do you need MATH? My special talent? My ability to recall all kinds of random pop culture facts. I may not be able to tell you the square root of whatever, but I can tell you unnecessary details about famous people, tv shows, movies and music (however, my biggest pop culture weakness is 80's music. I know the songs, I just can't remember what band sang what before they broke up and went to this or that band - I do have a friend, Stephanie, who specializes in this particular topic).
I am not a total loser, this trait is genetic. My dad, who has no tv, will glance quickly at a People Magazine and remember every single detail about Paris Hilton or Jersey Shore ("Can you believe that Sammie & Ronnie are back together?").
Really, this trait may seem pointless - but when was the last time you needed the answer to a random math problem? And when was the last time you said, or thought, "Who IS that guy? What movie was he in???"
OK, time to sign off - the Bachelor Pad starts in a few minutes and Christopher still needs to get ready for bed...

Love it, I am particularly good at geography and directions (I have been dubbed "mapquest" by friends and family) I share your "pain" of not knowing much about 80's music, I am awful at pretty much anything before 2000 though:(
