Something you've done that you're proud of

[axlryder]

Uhhh.... I'm a pretty good artist, I guess. Though, I haven't refined my skills nearly as much as I should have by now. Though by laymen standards I'm viewed as a pretty accomplished artist. I like to think I'm proud of my artistic vision, but I can't honestly say that until I've truly finished my pet project (which probably won't be for years). Sadly, my utter lack of general motivation and diligence is creating serious problems for me right now. Artist's temperament and all that, but it's really no excuse.


Oh, and at my peak I could bench 305 and squat 450 or so. I know it's not that impressive, but I'm a medium-smallish guy.

I stepped on a giant-ass rattlesnake barefoot, calmy walked to the house to grab the shotgun, did a power-walk over to the snake and blew its fuckin head off. Then I ate it, felt like a complete badass that day.

I don't really consider ending a life to be all that cool, but I have to admit that sounds pretty badass.

I went hiking a couple of times. I was as proud of doing that as I was about how many times I managed to swear in one hike.
Otherwise my only things to be proud of is some of my feats in games.

 

[BytByte]

I'm proud of myself every time I finish an Asylum workout because oh gee are those never easy to get through.

I won a daily 5th and 3rd on newgrounds! I know that doesn't mean much to most people but it was a huge deal to me.

Link to the submissions? I remember trying to get around to putting up stuff on Newgrounds, but only ended up posting a few crappy sample bits when I started experimenting with animation.

I went wee-wee in the potty!

I would say that not only I'm a proud to have graduated college, but to have done so without any debt. So now I can focus on getting a great job and save up to go to graduate school.

I once broke a guy's fist with my face. It was hilarious. I know that having a thick skull is hardly something to be proud of, but eh, it's all I've got.

P.s. I'm not a violent guy, I didn't even touch the person who punched me, he just ended up missing all the squishy bits and hitting my forehead, breaking a couple of fingers.

Greetings from Finland, northern Europe.
In here, every man at the age of 19 has to go through a mandatory military training, as our military is based on a large reservist army.
Privates serve for 6 months, specialists for 9 months and NCO:s and CO:s for a year.
So july 2011 I began my service, and was released july 2012.

What i'm proud of is that I did really good. For the rest of my life I can tell people that I attended the reserve-officer-school and was trained to be a platoon leader. Something that is looked highly upon in this society.
2nd-lieutenant, combat engineer platoon leader. I'm proud.

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...

Really daystar? Really? You aren't proud of the fact you are one of the most popular forum memebers of the escapist ? Especially for new comers . What about the amount of people you lead to trying out Okami and the journey ? Hell i even heard that because you couldn't attend the escapist expo , some forum members brought a Ammy plushie to represent you . Okay i'm done gushing over you now. Totally not jealous.


... Wait a moment . Reconisable figure ... First post ... Being modest... Forum memebers complimenting you... You crafty bastard! Why pat yourself on the back when other can pat you back for you . Well played .

OT: i managed to stay a virgin until i was 18. Should i be proud of that ? Or Ashamed ?

I went wee-wee in the potty!

*golfclap* next time remember to put the seat up...

OT: I successfully defeated (completed) all of high school and college mathematics (number junkie) while getting a full 2 hours of sleep each class period and not getting caught (sleeping ninja?).

 

[JochemHippie]

I almost aced basic training for the Marines here, but I kinda got kicked out on a drug test <.<

I've worked with a number of international acts like, Messugah, Sepultura, Radiohead, Rammstein, Porcupine Tree, Paul McCartney and Madness as audio tech.

During my final year in school I had to juggle the aftermath of my mom's death, moving into my first apartment and learning to live on my own, getting the old family house ready for renters, and a part-time job. And I still managed to do damn well on my graduation grades.

Last year I managed to complete my Bachelor studies. Still working my way through Master at the moment, but reaching that milestone felt like an accomplishment.

And last but not least, I managed to lose 108 lbs this year. Took a lot of discipline and rigorous training, and the fact that I stuck it out successfully makes me damn proud of myself.

 

[rosac]

i rescued a little girl in serious trouble at a public swimming pool once.

Could you say she was in deep trouble?

(I'm new to this, shut up!)

OT: I became the social sec for my sports team. Basically means I'm in charge of nights out and making sure everyone gets to know everyone.

at some time in elementary school ( i don't remember which grade but i remember it was at elementary school) i almost killed myself in order to jump of a cliff to fetch my younger sister who had been climbing down and fell on her back and got hurt about 3 meter from the bottom. i have no idea how i did it. my legs just reacted and i jumped of the edge and landed next to her (yes the impact when i hit the ground made me to fall over and hurt myself too but not as much as she did) still i am proud of that little suicide attempt for my sis. i offcores had to lie to my parents afterwords and say that i had climbed down. we are both okay now

 

[Palademon]

I guess I should be proud that I made the transition to looking after myself quite easily, despite being a lazy ass, that probably would've starved before agreeing to make himself food beyond toast or cereal.

 

[JEBWrench]

I beat cancer. (The last boss was hard)

Captcha says I get a chocolate cookie.

Making a five-minute speech to a political candidate during a debate between them all infront of an audience of 500 during elections... Shit was scary, but the feeling afterwards was epic. The fact that I had like six mayor-candidates cheering for me openly (The opposition to the guy i called out for being a hypocrit) made it even better. I even had one of them personally sign me up for a position in the youth-group of the social-liberals... Although I've been less active politically lately.

Then there was the time where I had to stand up to a class full of people whom had just listened to a sob-story from six christian palestinians, to try and convince them that Israeli's werent antichrist. . . Im not exactly proud of that but i was probably equally scared of the consequences.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

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

I recently received my Platinum Star in 4-H.

As an extension, I also earned 3 Presidential Community Service awards as part of 4-H.

They took a shitload of work, so I am very, very proud of them, despite the redneck farmer assumptions that are made about the group.

I'm also quite proud that I got my High School diploma at 17 with no real schooling, just a smattering of Homeschool work.

I'm also very proud that my first 3 games in Halo 4, I had a 3.5 K/D ratio or better.

 

[Nerexor]

I got equipped with a masters degree. Yeah, academic achievement is really all I've got
