I'm very good at reading people, and people seem to trust me instinctively with their pesonal issues. Not sure if these are useless but when you combine them with my reputation for being helpfull and keeping quiet about such things has caused me to be a sponge for secrets at school. Mostly girls with boy trouble. Really awkward when a girl that I've liked for quite a while came to talk to me in Venice about that kind of problem...
A skill I'd like to have? The ability to move my eyebrows independantly. Again, given my unofficial position, that's not exactly useless...
