Without a doubt the first option. I have slight talent on the drums, but I'd love perfection.

Really wish I would have taken up the guitar early in life. I guess it's not too late.

 

[Bufo]

Performing art: Martial art (thanks for including this one)

I choose that because my Se is poor and I think I should improve it.

 

[TickTock]

That was quick Beat, one might say you barely skipped. Hoho.

Forgot to add that if you already do one or more of these, you can pick the same and you become better or choose another to master. The idea is you can not just do it but are gifted.

For guitar you have to be standing on a cross road to meet your genie.

Hmmm. I try to sing. I don't think I can, but I do my best, and I don't care if it's good enough for anyone else. I have fun. Even though I have heard that I am not bad. *sigh* I am my toughest critic.

What would be your choice Lith?

 

[TickTock]

Well, first I would like to talk with the genie and see what his experience in granting wishes has taught him.

 

[Leysing]

Music. It's the art (and the thing) that touches me and my feelings the most.

(Well, I'm already fairly talented. But I would like to become a genius. )

 

[Jeffster]

Music, with acting/comedy/tv show second.

I'd like to be a professional song writer, a performer would be good too, but I'm more about the writing.

 

[Geoff]

Painting. I am happy with my photographic skill.. but when I try to capture the same with a paintbrush it's something a 3 year old would be embarassed by

 

[colmena]

I spend more time with film, but to be a natural at something, it would be music.

 

[phoenix13]

I'd say music, but it's the love of my life (I got the gift). Perfection/ genius isn't necessary for elation, so I'm leaving that as it is.

So, I chose language. It's so gosh darn useful, and you can rattle out verses whenever you want without people huddling around to see what's up.

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

I'd want to sing. More specifically, I'd like to be a snarky, sneering rock star that wears silver lame pants and acts like that's perfectly normal.

 

[Jack Flak]

It's unusual to choose, since I've several of the talents, and they seem to be inextricably tied together in both innate ability and gains from experience: They reinforce. Alas, though, I choose design. I prefer industrial art to gallery art.

 

[GZA]

I would choose music and singing. I already play music a lot, but it never hurts to get better. Although honestly I am totally satisfied with the progress I've made on guitar and will continue to make, so it's mostly the singing.

 

[Domino]

Lit. I want to be a writer.

 

[Colors]

Performing art: Dance. Or Music. Both things I basically can't do much of.

Realistically, if I dedicated my life to it- I think I could possibly do literature or photography.

Also, Mahjong Connect.

 

[Owl]

How is literature not a language art?

 

[Colors]

Maybe a brilliant orator? Or a good conversationalist (*cough*con artist)? Or movie writer? I thought it was kind of odd too.

 

[Morpeko]

I immediately voted music in the poll. I love the idea of being able to play an instrument or sing perfectly. The main reason I don't play music more is because I'm not good at it. I know I shouldn't care about that and just do what I enjoy, but I can't convince myself that it's okay to have flaws in my music. I also have a hard time letting lose and pouring emotions into the music, which is strange since I don't have that same issue in creative writing.

However, afterward, I realized that mastering a martial art is an option, and that would actually be my answer. I'm not very good at or comfortable with moving my body, so I actually love the idea of being naturally adept at performing arts. I'd love to be able to kick someone's ass, both effectively AND gracefully, without even trying.
