So NGA. Tell us about yourselves. What can you do that is uncommon or specialized or just a random thing you can do?

Actually to heck with it. General achievments and factoids about yourself thread.


Awww yeahhh:
-Trumpet
-I can recite all the states in alphabetical order
-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

Now that I look at my list, half of them were way back in the day.

Over the hill.

Pros:
General Underachiever
I own a cat

Cons:
unemployed to a depressing degree
haven't showered today
only inspired to play magic and eat food (also a pro)

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.

I can speak Mexican.

lol racism

good one friend

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.

Pros:
Decent at the guitar
IMO flawess musical taste
Great at music production
Decent at card design
Flawless at the lovin'

Con:
Sometimes I have low self image
Not very physically strong
Not so good at the maths

don't beat yourself up

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

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.

I can't hear you over my freedom
