I like gardening/landscaping and nothing ever turns out the way I like it
I guess I don't have a green thumb.

What on earth were you playing that frustrated you so much?

Okay so this might sound odd but when I run I would like to get under a 10 minute mile-but that is like hitting the wall for me. I can run for 3 miles and not really get tired but can't seem to break the 10 minute mile barrier. So in conclusion I run faster "poorly".

Yeah, I've heard that saying. I guess the way I look at it, if I can only do it poorly, then I don't enjoy doing it, and I avoid doing it if I can. Cooking would fall into that category.

Did you know that 'Poorly' in England means 'feeling ill'!! I enjoy driving but I suffer from terrible road rage. Does that count. Many people would say that that was bad driving wouldn't they?

I enjoy writing, even though I suck at it. I also like to dance and sing. Again, no talent in either of those areas!

i like to play the drums, and I have only a basic ability. I can do a few fancy beats, but I am by no means to be considered a drummer.

I also like to play the piano with only a few songs to play with very basic skills.

LOL... When I was a kid I used to smack the computer when I got frustrated with it, made my dad furious. I still pretend like I'm going to from time to time but I just grit my teeth and realize it's a sensitive piece of equipment. I get really upset when I play PS2, because I'm terrifically bad although I desperately want to be good! Hubby does it too... when we play Hot Shots Golf and hit a bum shot, which is often, we look like we're about to throw the controller into the tv!

If I'm playing alone I find myself madly squeezing the controller while spitting out some profanity through grinding teeth. Neither of us play it enough to get any good, so it's an on going battle!

I like to sing tunes that pop into my head whether they are songs on the radio or made up as I sing. I do that poorly but like it!! I have to watch how loud I sing because Izzie runs to me and meows at me until I stop!!

The list of things I suck at is long and distinguished, but there are many that I enjoy anyway. My 2 top answers are skiing and golfing. I haven't done either in quite some time, because those who are more inclined than I am didn't have the patience to hang with me because I sucked, so I don't really do either anymore.

Drawing and Sarcasm. I love to draw but I dont always make the best things.. some of them are downright terrible. And to get over my shyness I started being very sarcastic.. sometimes people dont get the sarcasm and they look at me funny. Eh. I am a quick witted little mongoose though.

AAAhhh... like minded Mongoose sister. Do you find people tend to think you're a bit stuck up or stand-offish when you're just shy?

I've definitely had my days of getting mad at video games. I have a much longer fuse because of it though.

Those are both really difficult sports. You'd probably be able to keep up with me golfing though. I was always slicing the ball into the rough and trees.

Well at least you can manage to hit the ball
I do golfing less than poorly and do not enjoy it at all
Even thinking about it frustrates me!

To the original question of "What do you enjoy doing poorly" I guess I most enjoy not getting a week-end with Janet Reno.
