The "I'm Awesome" Thread

[SckizoBoy]

Nope.
I have four notebooks filled with writing, and only three people have ever seen inside them. One of them had my permission.

I have four things hosted online. One I will never let another soul see, another, I don't really want seen, the third is abandoned and really, really doesn't showcase anything, and the fourth is a work in progress that I might share when it's done.

See, everything I have written down is on my PC, never understood the appeal of literally writing stuff down... perhaps due to my atrocious handwriting, and perhaps due to my need for sources of inspiration to be around. *shrug*

Still, happy writing, and feel free to visit this dusty cellar [www.kaehdris.blogspot.com]. Small warning, not particularly good editing, I did a lot of blind transcribing... yeah, silly story...

I still have a 4.0 GPA. And that's with 6 honors classes in my two years of high school. I'm quite proud of my school achievements, actually, although I try to not bring them up that often because people think I'm some snooty honors kid. Which I'm really not. Although this post certainly gives that feeling.

I'm awesome because i completed super meat boy (light world), have a bookcase with all the books read and make sure my ego never gains its own gravitational field. Except for right now of course. It feels goooood.

I might give it a peek when I feel like it.

I write by hand because there's less chance of losing it, I can take my notebooks with me, and because people don't look on your shelves.

I'm awesome because when I was 8 I had my IQ tested and it was 130!

When I was 6 they said mine was between 150 and 170 Sorry, I got 1 up'd in the first post... I needed revenge

As for the first post, I am only junior black belt, but in two separate styles of karate.

Really thought, the only reason I would say I am awesome other than because I just am is because I managed to get such an amazing girlfriend. The rest other than the just am is not important

 

[TheKmanofAwesometon]

I'm awesome because I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Tang soo do, and I'm freakishly smart for my school standards. The school system had me taking Honors Precalculus in high school, as a Freshman.

 

[demoman_chaos]

I have a large arsenal of ancient and modern weapons, including swords, axes, and rifles. I also post on the Escapist.

 

[LuckyClover95]

I'm awesome because I can hold my own in basketball despite having cerebral palsy on the right side of my body.

Congratulations, that's impressive

OP: I'm awesome because... I've made my way into many monkeysphere's.
And *ashamed* I had a Skins fest, watched 3 series in about 4 days.

 

[Hectix777]

Because I was born awesome, I think awesome, I play awesome, I am awesome. My destiny is to be the most awesome person on Earth[PERIOD].

I'm the combined form of the most interesting man in he world and the man your man could smell like.

 

[FalloutJack]

I'm awesome because I don't have to explain why and people just accept me.

 

[Nenad]

I'm awesome 'cause I'm different! And 'cause I'm living my life the way I want to live it.

 

[Snotnarok]

I'm awesome because I have a sci-fi webcomic series that I busted my ass on for years and got it out earlier this year.

Allright, I'll bite. Link, please...

Well since you asked why not.

www.antarescomplex.com

Neat I didn't think anyone would be interested, no seriously worked at least 5 years on trying to get a neat comic going, means a lot just to hear someone ask haha.

Trust me, I know how excruciating it feels to try to get something done from the ground up.

I did have a look around but I couldn't really see that much of the plot other than the basic set-up, for some reason, as the actual comic pages won't ever, ever load (maybe a problem with flash on my end?) but did notice the homepage must have needed a ton of work and it shows nicely. As for the art, I guess it was cool, but I'm not the intended audience for that kind of particular style, so don't let my "blah" reaction discourage you. And universe seemed really well thought out. Kudos.

Also, why the french reference (Neige ==> Snow)? You like the language or are you like me in that you pick the first thing that sounds like an okay name in your mind? It may be a bit on the lazy side but does help me avoid overt symbolism I don't need.

Also, nifty tune. Catchy!

That is a strange issue, I'll have to see what the issue is. The images are higher-res than most other sites so it could take a while for slower connections. And it's really early in the series so plot will be light just for a bit.

Neige does mean snow indeed, I picked it because I enjoy winter/snow/ice and put that into a translator. So she's known for that reason sure but it's going to be for another reason in the comic as well.

I'm glad you at least checked it out, and only hope it amused you in some way hah. I'm honestly doing this for others enjoyment and because it's fun to make. I got no ads on my site and make 0 bucks from it, infact it costs a bit to host. So that tells you something I guess right?

Yeah.

I may end up doing something similar, but using Wordpress or whatever to host the pages. But for the time being I'll have to wait till I finish programming my own software to put all the images and panels together--my brain seems to refuse to use the blasted Gimp and its goddamn unintuitiveness for it.

Question: What are the tools you are using to put it all together? Photoshop, perhaps?

Wordpress is annoying, it's all this cumbersome design by form nonsense. Hard to explain it but I didn't like how it worked, then again I make pages for freelance hah.

The comic is done with pencils, photoshop, the site is flash and dreamweaver.

 

[martin's a madman]

I'm awesome because up until 3rd year second semester of highschool I wanted to be a writer and neglected maths because I wouldn't need it. Then I decided I liked physics and taught myself all the years of maths that I missed and finished Calculus with an 88.


EDIT: So, pretty much on a dime I changed my life goals and am now going to be attending university for physics.

[JemothSkarii]

I'm awesome because I can hold my own in basketball despite having cerebral palsy on the right side of my body.

I'M NOT ALONE! I have Cerebal Palsy affecting my LEFT side!

OT: Well, letsee, I have Cerebal Palsy, never really finish what I start, only ever experienced internet relationships, have a cripplingly low self esteem, and broke up with my gf because I had changed too much and she was the kind of person to easily fall for others...

...But I'm awesome because I'm willing to listen to people and help them with their problems, I'll try and overcome my disability (with a little help I can play pool, albeit shoddily). I'm awesome because I love my GF with all my heart and got back with her after 4 months of being apart despite everything that's happened. I'm awesome because I don't hold grudges, and I'm awesome because I can love a really crappily made games (Damnation has given me some great laughs). I'm a furry, I don't really add much to the community apart from some writing and due to distance constraints, I've only ever attended one convention.

...and I'm awesome because I'm honest.

 

[Dalek Caan]

I am Awesome for:

1: Beating GOW on Insanity.
2: Owning a Venus Fly Trap.
and
3: Cynical English man, were automatically awesome.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

I'm awesome because I'm the man your man could smell like.

I'm awesome because I can give a pitch-perfect performance of that commercial from memory.

Also, I am fast becoming a walking trope-machine. My addiction to "that website" has enabled me to instantly recognize major tropes in daily life and in fiction. I am also gaining the ability to apply them to my own life (to surprisingly positive effect) when the situation calls for it.

Edit: I have also taken it upon myself to burn through the entire Harry Potter franchise (books and movies) in the next two weeks. If I can pull it off, I can add that one to my awesome resume (awesume?).

I'm awesome because I have diabetes but don't despair at being diabetic.

I'm awesome because I fell in love once but had my heart broken.

(Sorry I couldn't resist the urge to rhyme)

You're awesome for posting this prompt.
I needed to remind myself why life is worth living.

This is the thread to tell us all why YOU'RE awesome, that's right no self deprecation crap here.
Why are you awesome/amazing/the best thing ever.

I'm awesome because I beat Opposing Force in 4 hours on hard. A record for me.

 

[CaptainKoala]

I'm awesome because I can play all the way through Master of Puppets on drums without messing up once.

 

[Rancid0ffspring]

I am awesome... goddamnit...

Fuck it, I am awesome because I have a Black Belt 2nd Dan.
