Something you've done that you're proud of

[Ambitiousmould]

I once went 72 hours without sleep playing warhammer 40K. So, urm... that.

Also, I am very unlucky. Not in a bad things/tragedies kind of way because that's way more serious and I understand that, but in a day-to-day series of kind of trivial unlucky events kind of way.
e.g, i never won any of those warhammer games because if you add up every 1 i ever rolled on a dice, it would equal more than adding up every other number i ever rolled. i am proud of this because i still manage to get through each day without having something monstrously embarassing occuring (through exceptional precaution).

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.

wow you win the thread i think, i aspire to do that sort of stuff in the future.

Hahaha.
Keep in mind that worked is a broad term

 

[RADIALTHRONE1]

I scored the highest grade in reading and second highest grade in math for school-wide tests in 8[sup]th[/sup] grade. To be fair though, my school wasn't exactly filled with geniuses.

 

[Promethax]

I did the guitar and half the lyrics for Kruz Kontrol's "I Have Powers".

It'll get viral eventually, I swear.

 

[TechNoFear]

I can't tell anyone what I am most proud of, not even my family, as it involves a covert police department (and I face a 2 year jail term if I do).

 

[Frezzato]

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

Wow. Seriously? Do you mind my asking what MOS you got?

 

[phyrexian]

Saved the lives of my parents, possibly saved a friend's life, saved my little brother's life a few weeks ago, and saved my own just recently. And I'm proud that I got off my fat butt this year to resume my edumacation.

 

[Ljs1121]

I've managed to play through quite a few of my games (In particular, Sonic Adventure 2, Ocarina of Time, and Sly 2: Band of Thieves come to mind) in a single sitting.

Also, I got some academic rewards from the public high school in town when I went there for my Driver's Education class. For going to one class, I got a varsity letter and a principal's scholar certificate. That boosted my self-confidence a bit.

 

[Little Woodsman]

I've donated blood ninety-eight times.
At my "day" job I have people constantly tell me that interacting with me makes their day better/happier.
At my "real" job I have two clients who I know for a fact deal with considerably less pain on
a daily basis than they would without my help.
Ooh, and how could I forget--I started a standing ovation for Chris Claremont when he made a
very cool anti-racism statement in a very cool way!

 

[Kapri]

Dished out a logo for a client in 10 minutes. Suuuuuper proud of myself that day because we barely had anything to go on. If it wasn't obvious I work as a graphic designer.

 

[Kapri]

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.

Dude these are sweet! Do you have an online gallery?

 

[VeryOddGamer]

Well, I've...
Uhh...
...I learnt to read at around the age of 5 and I speak English almost better than my native tongue, Finnish.

I have good taste in entertainment?
I really haven't done anything noteworthy.
*sniff*

 

[Mr Binary]

Hm... I don't really know if I have much to be proud of actually. I don't often think about things or situations as something to be proud of, I just do things. Various reasons, both selfish and selfless. None of it seems like I should be proud though, I'm merely living.

 

[AngloDoom]

Erm...

All the proud moments I can think of are sexual ones. That probably sounds like I'm bragging but I honestly don't think I have any real talents, skills, or achievements. I'm kind of in limbo right now waiting for something to happen.

I'm planning to go into nursing with the end goal of becoming part of an air-ambulance team, so hopefully in future I'll be able to run back to this forum and shout "HA!" in all your smug, talented faces.

 

[theparsonski]

I joined the Air Training Corps, and got promoted really fast. At my squadron it takes a good Cadet around a year and a half to get promoted to Corporal. I made it in 5 months.

Did a lot better than the vast majority of the country at GCSE, though I don't feel that proud about that because my school has high standards and many people in my year got straight A*s.

I've done a fair bit of professional acting since I was 9, nothing big-time, I've been in about 15 BBC Radio 4 Afternoon Plays, and I was in a few TV dramas. I've stopped now though.

And that's about it.

 

[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.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

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.

 

[Spydercake]

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.

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.
