- More Poker Face Than That Ga-Ga Lady

Hidden talents? Eesh. Everyone knows about most of mine. I've got music qualifications out the yin-yang, I can write web-standard XHTML code by hand (none of that Dreamweaver malarkey for me), and although I'm not a patch on my beloved gramma, I'm pretty handy in the kitchen.
So what don't you guys know? Hmmm... well, I was pretty good at languages at school, but I've forgotten a lot of French and German because I never have opportunity to speak it, and I've only learned what I call "anime Japanese". Not that impressive then.
...I got it. I'm pretty good at poker.
I haven't played in a while, which I think may have something to do with my reputation among my friends as a bit of a dark horse when it comes to poker. They've told me I'm almost impossible to read - very few tells, if any, and the epitome of the poker face. (Years of training, that one.) That, and I fully exploit my, uh, assets in order to distract male players. I admit, brazen hussy that I am, that I wore a very low-cut top to my last game. Can't help it if these things work for me, can I?
