Something you've done that you're proud of

[barbzilla]

When I was a kid, I grew up in a small town (less than 5000 people) in the South-East. The town still had businesses that didn't... uh.... "cater" to specific crowds based on skin color. Though I am very white, my family didn't abide by bigotry or hate of any kind (my grandparents on my mother's side escaped to the US during the early 40's from Nazi Germany). So I gathered up as many people as I could of as many colors as I could and we grouped up in front of the 3 stores that didn't "cater" to "other" crowds. We made sure not to block business, but we also made it painfully aware the reason we were standing there in front of those stores. We didn't actually change anything at that point, but 2 years later all three of those businesses were out of business. I would like to think that we helped move the town forward.

On deviant art I have a few short stories with 1,000+ views. I'll post up my most popular one...it should be safe for work but it is of a sexual sort of nature...

This story (at time of posting) has over 5,900 hits and is nearing number 6,000. For whatever reason people don't like to comment on my short stories and drawings and whatnot which really discourages me...I could just take that to mean that everything I write is perfect and leaves people speechless but I can't quite convince myself of that.

I'm generally pretty proud of my various writings actually. You may have read some of my Shoggy Looks here on the user reviews section and if you liked any of those here is one of my very first written reviews.

Out of everything I've written though, I think I put the most raw emotion and the most of my own soul into this.

Damnit Pinky. Now I don't feel proud of my shoddy drawings.
Well, besides my shoddy drawings *http://spydercake.deviantart.com/ < all two of them* I am a great cook, and plan on heading to culinary school once I get my accounting cert.
I've managed to move 4 hours away from my home town within 3 months of graduating from High School and not get my self killed.
Despite crippling social anxiety, being ugly as hell, and overweight, in the past 4 years I've managed to ask out 7 different people and land dates with 6, and still be friends with all of them to this day.

I joined the Army, I don't leave for boot camp until January.

Good luck and thank you for your service!

OT: I'm currently tutoring a programming teacher on how to program. I'm pretty proud of that.

Landed a very well paid job in the software business.
Yet never officially finished school.

When I was 16 in high school I'd recently come out as bisexual and was having some difficulty with the other pupils because they're scum that way.

One of them took it upon himself to write lots of hateful stuff on the back of my shirt in biology class. I lsot my temper, spun around over the desk on one hand to kick him in the chest, punch him in the stomach and slam his face into my knee.

I was very proud of it indeed. Got into no trouble for it because of him being a hateful prick :3

Oh I also learned to control my temper at some point that was good.

Oh and around the same time a guy was picking on my then boyfriend for being bi and I smacked him down like a *****.

OH! I also beat DMC3 on every difficulty with perfect S ranks. Fuck yeah.

Edit: I've also lost 2 stone (thats 28 lbs) since september. I am now 11 stone 13 lbs

I learnt this song on bass, to date the hardest song I've learnt in my three years of playing.

 

[AsurasEyes]

I saved a child from being recruited into a ninja clan.

That poor child...

 

[AsurasEyes]

So a masturbation thread then? I'm cool with that.

Hey, masturbation is one of the healthiest activities one can engage in.

16 year old nihilist...

Where have I heard that one before?


OT: Hmm, I don't really have anything I'm proud of.

I'm kind of just drifting through life, with no real direction...

Look at it this way: No direction is better than One Direction.

OT: Got personalized responses from publishers at the age of twelve and published a book at the age of sixteen.

*snap snap snap* Mmhmmm!

I want your life...

 

[Jiveturkey124]

Starting a metal band that plays the exact kind of style we want, one thats original, heavy, and fantasy/video game influenced. Our first show is December 1st at a local venue in Tampa and I couldnt be more proud. It doesnt matter to me whether we get famous (We wont - Our band name is "The Hounds of Scumfuck" hahaha) but its just the fact that ill be able togo out in front of a bunch of random peoeple and show them our style of playing metal weve honed and practiced over the past year and ahalf.

Eh, it's not all that. It wasn't a book I really wanted to write, it was just an opportunity presented to me. Quite small scale, too.

I'm taking a gap year after this academic year to write a novel. Fingers crossed it goes well.

These Drawings! I was going to do one more, but the community is full of haters. Too bad for them, I'm drawing something else now >:C !







Also, this. Which people seem to be copying? Interesting.

Holy crap, that is some awesome art, you should draw ponies, bronies love awesome art like that.

I got a pretty awesome tech job that allows me to work from home and even still game, plus it could easily become a career with a small company that is looking to expand.

 

[Meatspinner]

Stopped a co-worker from ending up on the street. Long story short, his racist landlord kicked him out with almost no time to pack. I helped him find a new apartment since he didn't speak the language and I vouched a loan for him also so he could pay the predeposit.

Other then that I've gotten some freelance work as an animator. Not enough work to live on but enough to boost my ego

 

[theevilgenius60]

I was on the Reebok all American team(American football) my senior year. Only thing was, it wasn't at a "glory" position. I was a guard. Thing is, we sucked that year, but I really enjoyed smashing assholes. Especially if the person was highly touted/recruited. I'm also proud of getting through college with my B.S.. It was a struggle because of health reasons(had to sit out 3 semesters due to various problems with my back), funding problems(too well off for pell grant, too poor to just pay up front, banks gave me a hard time for some reason. I keep my money in a credit union because of this and a few other things) and the complicated system University of Southern Missisippi used at the time for placement in classes. I literally spent weeks per semester scouring the online course catalog to get in to classes I needed while not overlapping time wise. I hope they fixed that system, it was broken so badly

 

[ChippedShoulder]

Not yet done but I will be playing to 900 people in London in January, in two separate bands on the same night, will be the most prolific gig of mine to date

 

[ikey]

I sang in Carnegie Hall, which was pretty freakin' amazing. I've watched a leatherback turtle give birth in Costa Rica and moved the eggs to a new site so they wouldn't be taken by poachers. Along with a lot of other not-as-noteworthy stuff, I'd also like to say I memorized 101 digits of pi because I was bored, but the accomplishment seemed diminished when I saw geK0 memorized 128 digits. 101 sounds cooler though.

I've gotten my videos approved by the creators of the comics Foxtrot, Lio, Retail, Zits, and Off the Mark.

Your drawings are fantastic, I find Tenzin's portrait the best in my own opinion. Do you have any The Last Airbender ones?

 

[White_Lama]

I don't know why I went to this thread, now I feel depressed because well, I've not done anything to be proud of in my life, quite a failure to be honest.

Guess speaking fluent English is good since I'm from Sweden, other than that I don't know.
