My mate's mate failed his practical test the first time by cutting off a police car that was blue-lighting. He failed it the second time by hitting a police car.Mossberg Shotty said:

My Depression stemmed from my ADHD. I was diagnosed as a child with extreme ADHD and my parents did nothing. They figured I was just lazy. I would ace all of my tests and fail all of my homework assignments. Well I am a bit lazy too, but for the most part ADHD makes things extremely unbearable when they are boring or repetitive. As such I was always an underachiever in school, strict C average, even though I would ace every test thrown at me. The depression kicked in once I was 24 and living in what was basically a crack house (I was boarding there, I wasn't a crackhead or drug dealer). I realized how big of a failure I was, couldn't hold jobs to save my life. I got lucky and found a good psychiatrist that re-diagnosed me and medicated my ADHD and Depression. I am finally off the SSRIs for depression (for 2 years now) and starting to get my life on track (long term relationship, back in college, and own my own business).Lalo Lomeli said:
I was never bullied, so I can't really empathize well with your final statement. I have been 6'1" since the 8th grade, so nobody ever really picked on me. Aside from that me and a couple of friends on the football team took it upon ourselves to abolish bullying in our school. We had 3 years of high school where bullies were afraid of getting their asses kicked, so they left everyone alone (I've always been a big nerd, I mean that literally).
Anyhow I hope everything continues to go well for you m8, if you every have any issues feel free to friend me and let me know. I'm more than happy to listen and help in anyway I can.
I think your mate needs to lay off the GTA for a few weeks before trying next time...CoffeeJack said:
captcha: deep waters; that's one way of putting it.
I haven't done anything of the sort, I actually believe myself to be a pretty decent driver.CoffeeJack said:
The thing you have to understand is that the people who administer these tests (in Texas) are one step below nazis. Its hard to not get discouraged.
Haha been there my friend, in fact been there way too many times. I really should learn to close my doors but there you go.adamsaccount said:
Congrats OP, now the pain in the arse test is out the way just one more pain in the arse test and your sorted.
I've done nothing special recently but I'm a black belt in a martial art, so I guess there's that.
Also passing my drivers test on the first try, against everyone's expectations, (mines included lol) Although I need a hell of a lot more practice before I start driving for real, don't want to get a big head and all.
Well I just recently learned how to draw chibi and am slowly making my way to more and more advanced kinds of drawings. So that is always fun.
Also I took a class on jewelry making so I can make pendants and rings using a variety of methods. Definitely gonna have to set myself up with a studio once I get my post-college live stable.

I'm the co-author on an academic paper, we just discussed the first round of comments from the peer reviewers. Basically, the first draft was pretty good.
I wrote a significant part of the first draft, so I did good.
I am a great wind that will sweep all before me like a... a great wind!

I wouldn't call myself "awesome". I'm more of a "hoopy frood" kind of guy.
What I'm good at tho? Well, I can weave words quite nicely, though usually have problems with exposition. I also seem to have a knack for saying the right thing at the right time when someone confides in me.

Over the weekend I attended a training camp for a small pro-wrestling company. I must have done pretty well because several of the full-time wrestlers let me know that they were impressed with what they saw from me.
I finished my Masters with First Class Honours, somehow!
That was the last thing I did that made me feel proud of myself.

Well, I'm doing good so far at my studies. Scoring A's left and right, despite having made a switch from English to policy development, which means I have to catch up at an insane pace.
Still, the fact that I've never had a job (and thus have an empty resume) makes the future kinda scary.

I very often stop what I'm doing, look around and go "Holy fuck, I'm a fully-functional, adapted and successful grown-up. How the hell did that happen?"

My team recently won in a debate, and it was the first time I felt completely comfortable talking in front of an audience (usualy my knees shake, I stutter, and all that). I also did almost half of the talking, and it was a team of four people. Another guy did about half and the last bit was given to the other two to share.
Also, there is someone in my bio class that thinks she is an actual genius, and I got her as my lab partner.
She then wrote a procedure for the lab and passed it off as perfect, until I pointed out to her that enzymes will start working as soon as they mix with thier substrate. Her proedure had them both added at the beginning, add some other stuff, THEN start the timer. She just was speechless for a few seconds before quickly fixing it.
Also, I am better at chemistry than anyone I know. 'sides my teacher of course. Although, it did make me feel guilty, ruining the curve for everyone with the semester finals...

I got good marks on a practice math exam, which I hope reflects on the mark of the exam when i do it friday. And I signed up for the elderscrolls beta today!
Yaaahhh im awesome.

I find it difficult to talk about myself, I don't like to seem like I'm boasting or bragging... That said, here are a few things I've been told.
- I'm creative. I make small sculptures (usually about an inch tall) that people seem to like.
- I'm great with my hands, which helps with the aforementioned sculpting as well as my LEGO hobby and gaming. Oh, that reminds me...
- I have a LEGO collection of over 325 sets, worth over US$7,600. I'm pretty proud of that.
- I'm good at world-building. I'll spend hours nutting out the finer details of my own fictional worlds, crafting elaborate mythology and backstories for all aspects of them. Too bad the stories I write for these worlds are often pretty lame.
- I'm also apparently a very good lover. One of my favourite little stories is when I was asked how I was so good... while loosing my virginity.

Doesn't give a fuck aye?Vault101 said:
Okay, why am I awesome? Here's a small list?
- I'm an Australian. G'day!
- I carried my team to victory in TF2 yesterday... as a Medic.
- I'm the only person I know who plays Guitar Hero on Expert.
- I listen to Pendulum. (She's a gunshot briiiide...)
- I'm a JRPG aficionado.
- I got my hands on the Operation Rainfall trilogy of JRPGs months before most of the world, due to my aforementioned Australian-ness.
- I play YuGiOh with a nigh-unstoppable Six Samurai deck.
- I also play Magic: The Gathering with a mono-red deck. I have one strategy only: If I don't like it, I blow it up using fire and lightning. It works. Very well.
- I'm still listening to Pendulum. (Bring it on hooooooome!)
- I'm applying to join the Army as a chef.
- And finally, I'm writing a book called Sapphire Skies. So far, I've only written the prologue, (Which you can find here: http://battleaxx900.deviantart.com/art/Sapphire-Skies-Chapter-00-Prologue-321678619) but I can guarantee at least one chapter per month. Stay tuned!
And that's why I'm awesome. Can you believe that I suffer from low self-esteem issues from time to time?

I killed a boss in Dark Souls without getting hit...
That's about all I can think off that has been recent. Unless you think my unparalleled ability to procrastinate homework is awesome.
