-Champion soccer and football player
-Couple of silver medals for an international competition in high school
-Several gold medals for a New England music competition in high school
-Had a record that is in the prelim rounds for a grammy
-Blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do
-Got state achievement in John Hopkins talented youth SAT testing in 7th grade


Can'ts:
-Whistle
-Tell you more than 15 American Presidents

Goods:
I do productive stuff out of a sense of duty and obligation.
I graduated HS with less than a 2.0 GPA.
I was in Mensa for a year.

Bads:
Only a year because I have no real sense of personal ambition. Really, I just kind of want to play Magic and Dungeons and Dragons. And read; I like to read, I guess. I'm not sure if that's a pro in today's world.

Particularly rare, and found in myself:
Origami skills (I lost count of how many different things I can fold from memory, while still making things up on the fly)
Pretty good sculptor
Acting in a respectful manner towards customers
Reading to an obsessive degree; related to that, my vocabulary is pretty expansive.
A good head for languages
Pretty good math/science

Lesser things:
amatuer guitarist
amatuer writer
amatuer drawer
amatuer photographer

Cons:
procrastinator
low self control regarding entertainment and snacking
low self-esteem
Arrogance

I honestly have trouble keeping up relationships with people I don't see more that once a week.
Like, I have a good friend who went to college in another state and he is always the one contacting me, never the other way around.

Awww I figured. Gomen ^-^

From doing martial arts I'm very flexible and have a good sense of balance. Other than that idk, can't think of any exceptional things i do I just do a buncha different things at above average competency. I get bored so I never developed my skills enough. I also have a massive amount of completely worthless trivia and random knowledge that I will pull out of nowhere, mostly related to things I gleaned from cartoons.

As far as incompetence, I can't whistle, have a terrible memory, and I think my writing is obtuse and flows inorganically.

In Mexican "friend" is "essay."

I believe we have a winner.

I've won ymtc idol, champs and world champs. Outside of that, I don't think there's much particularly noteworthy. I've considering learning sign language, but haven't even started yet.
I 100%'ed the logic test we got during Sesjon. Some Norwegian military thing where they check your mental and physical attributes.

Worthwhile Achievements:
- Accepted myself.
- Found another person whom I both love and who loves me.
- Overcame my ADD/ADHD (though it remains a struggle).

Achievements that don't really matter:
- Know the difference between "whom" and "who" (thanks TheOatmeal!)
- Black belt in Goju Ru
- Completed College (Business)
- Found a career
- Bought a house

Things I'm not proud of that don't really matter:
- Can never seem to get back under 230lbs because I'm not trying hard enough.
- Impulsive behaviours means I drink more than I probably should, and sometimes put my foot in my mouth.
- Haven't done any visible achievements.

Things I'm not proud of that do matter:
- Never got a good handle on social interactions, and I fear that puts me behind for future prospects.

why did I succumb to temptation and unhide one of your posts

"Self-image" meant physical attributes, just saying. I don't believe I'm very physically attractive but I am confident in other areas.

Don't worry, we'll all just pretend we stopped reading at the halfway point. Besides we all got baggage. For instance, Ko is Canadian.
