What Are You Proud Of?

[Aaryanna_Mom]

I'm sure you saw this one coming, but my children of course. Nothing makes me happier to see how well they are doing, and I like to think that I had a hand in that, even if they grow up and no longer need you like they did at first.

The other, my ability to read music. For whatever reason, sight reading music has always been fairly easy for me, even before I went back to school and learned more. Pieces like Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, I can sit down and simply play at a glance. Not well enough to perform since that takes practice, but still it's fun to do. It also makes playing for church easy as well since for simple songs like hymns and such, I never need to practice I can simply play anything in the book, on both the piano and the organ. :catgirl:

[quote name='Sojiro47'][FONT="Book Antiqua"]I'm not entirely sure that's something to be proud of...^_~

I'm proud of my Friends. The nerdy ones, the genius, the freak, the rebel. The Sensei, the master, the student. These friends mean more to me than anything I have left.

And more recently discovered, I'm proud that I can find emotional strength I never thought I had...

[SIZE="3"][B]And I'm proud to be [I]stupid[/I]!!!!![/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]

What? Of [I]course[/I] it is!

[Flagg]

[B][SIZE="1"]Hmm lets see

I'm proud of the fact that I have watched 40 episodes of anime straight without moving on 2 different occasions within a 3 day period

I'm proud of the fact that I have played a console rpg for 19 hours straight on the third straight day of my not sleeping streak

Proud of the fact that I am really good at soccer and running despite my flat feet and pigeon toes

Proud of the fact that I succeed with minimal or no effort in just about anything that I do

Proud of the fact that I consider myself a decent human being that is actually fit to walk the face of this planet. (I have personally spoken with 6 other people in my lifetime who I consider not a waste of a human life)

Proud of the fact that I have spent
[9:03:33 PM] Time Logged: 372 days, 17 hours, 47 minutes and 30 seconds
worth of time connected to bnet (an online gaming community)

Proud of the fact that I have 1,741 kills with the k98 and 561 deaths while using it on the game Day of Defeat: Source (also 779 kills with the spade)

Proud of my guitar playing and skills at chess

Proud of my pwnage computer

And last of all I am proud of my conceit and the way I take pride in trivial matters
(I honestly do amuse myself)[/SIZE][/B]

[Shinmaru]

I'm proud of the fact that I spent the last twenty minutes thinking about whether the upcoming [spoiler]Itachi/Sasuke battle in Naruto[/spoiler] will end in a stalemate.

Wait, no I'm not.

[Horendithas]

[COLOR="Indigo"]I'm proud of my education since I just got my bachelor's degree, even if English is the devil's spawn and tried to thwart me in my goal. I'm also proud to have been accepted to the doctorate program at the university I attend even though I've only been going for one week so far.

I'm proud to think that for the most part I'm pretty level headed and think things through instead of simply reacting. I've had enough situations come my way to know that I do not panic.

I'm also proud of all the great friends I have.

And I'm proud of all the volunteer work I've done while getting my degree. Even though at times I wanted to pull my hair out and walk out the door, I'm proud that I didn't and stuck with it. [/COLOR]

[SIZE="1"]I'm proud of being a nerd while at the same time standing over six feet tall and being strong enough to beat the crap out of ninety-five percent of people who'd take offense to my being a nerd. It's a good combination.

And seeing as nobody has said it yet, at least not in the last fifteen responses, I'm also proud of the size of my penis. As from the title, this thread has just been asking for that response. ;)[/SIZE]

Anyway... as for other things I'm proud of. My education. Getting my Bachelor's Degree, being nearly finished with my Masters and now... getting accepted into the university's Doctorate program since I finally got my acceptance letter from the school. It would have sucked to have to apply elsewhere and since they don't accept every applicant I was glad to finally get that letter last week. :catgirl:

(And [i]that's[/i] why no one's said that; they knew that would be the response.)[/color]

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Gavin, I just died a little inside.

Even though I'm proud of that also, but from you, it's just creepy. And I mean I'm PROUD of mine. However I sorta feel like DB, I'd rather not have one sometimes. [Spoiler]You know something else is better.[/spoiler][/COLOR]

Nerdsy put it best with their response though. lol

Anyway... As for being proud, I could also say I'm proud of being level headed. Sure I get into arguments like anyone else. I take things personal instead of laughing at them. But when it comes down to real and serious situations such as knowing what to do when someone has a seizure or when someone holds you up at gun point. I have never panicked and have always remained calm and did what needed to be done.

I've always thought I was not the type to panic but to actually know that I don't. Does make me feel a little on the proud side. I've always found the image of the screaming hysterical woman who can't handle anything annoying since I know it's just not true. Perhaps for someone else, but not for me. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[Gavin]

[SIZE="1"]My God, you all really need to go to Group Sounds for a while to just relax and lighten up, go look at cat captions, laugh and then come back here and hang your collective heads in shame for being so serious.

And Prem don't worry, I'm not in the least bit concerned a little bit of you died inside. ;)[/SIZE]

[color=#606060]It's not that they're being so serious, it's that you just need to act like your real self on OtakuBoards.

That's the reason why nobody expects it of you, lol. :catgirl:

As far as the responses go in this thread though...I can honestly say that some really have surprised me (although what Gavin said didn't, really).[/color]

[SIZE="1"]Heh, yeah, I realised like an hour later that most of them are already members of Group Sounds, so it was a bit redundant. I suppose though I do act a lot more light-hearted on GS than I do here, which might have made that comment a little unexpected, heh. The mood of GS is just infectious really. :animesmil

And I'm honestly surpised anyone is surprised, I'm a 20 year old male with a healthy love life, of course I'm going to be proud of my body.

All joking this time, I recently learned from a bunch of tests I took in careers class back in May that I would make an excellent doctor in the future, and as I'm hoping to attend med school next year, I'm really proud of that fact. A life of helping people is definitely something I could feel good about. [/SIZE]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE="1"]Am I the only one not surprised by Gavin's comment? Clearly I've known him for far too long.

I'm not proud of many things, in that I don't think about them. I don't pat myself on my back and say I've done a good job, I work on things until others do that for me. Being proud only leads to the opportunity to get cut down.

Saying that, I have a few things:

-My recent [B]AS level results[/B], I managed to get myself three A grades and one D, which is a little bit of a blip but one I'm not too worried about. Chemistry was a bum, anyway. I didn't think I'd do so well and ended up doing better than friends I know for a fact are smarter than me. I just worked a lot harder.

-I'm at the point now, almost, where I can say I'm honestly [B]happy with how I look [/B]and don't care if others aren't. I am me, and that's all that should matter. It's taken me too long to realise that.

-I'm over halfway through my [B]novel[/B], and I've never stuck at one thing for so long without getting bored. Maybe I'm starting to grow up at last.[/SIZE]

[Shy]

[size=1]I'm proud of Gavin's ability to lie about his own shortcomings.

Anyway, I suppose above all things I'm most proud of the person I've become and the person I am still becoming. It took me quite a while to realize just how awesome I am, and now that I know life is much more enjoyable. My friends, my boyfriend, my dog... there's not a lot in my life I'm [i]not[/i] proud of. I'm very fortunate to be the person I am, and have the life that I do. Even if you had asked me two years ago I never would have thought I could end up living such a stable and pleasant life.

So yeah, I'm proud of my existance I suppose. You're all very lucky to know me.

[Aberinkula]

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Shortcomings... funny, there's like two puns in that word.

Speaking of comics, I'm proud of the manga I have. Death Note is good, but it just doesn't feel great. Well, I only have about 5 manga anyways... >_>[/COLOR]

I was trying to twit DB. :p [quote name='Shy'][size=1']I'm proud of Gavin's ability to lie about his own shortcomings.[/size][/quote]Heh, best response in the entire thread in my opinion.

Now for something different and totally silly, I'm proud to have met someone here from OB. Crystia and I spent most of yesterday with Beth at the anime convention in Salt Lake City yesterday. And boy was that fun! :catgirl: And why am I proud of it? Because doing things like coming here and going to anime conventions is something I was too busy with school and other things to even consider. [[SIZE="1"]yes at one time I considered them a waste of time, my loss really[/SIZE]] So I'm glad I've lightened up over the years. :animesmil

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Remember Nerdsy, he's put all his pride into his ding-a-ling. So he can't show much more of it. :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR="darkslategray"]Actually Group Sounds was pretty fun... for a minute. But it felt cozy after a while, and you have more freedom with what you say over there. My custom title is "Bring me virgins", I don't think OB would enjoy having to do that for me.[/COLOR]

[Gavin]

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]That's not what she said.[/color][/quote]

[SIZE="1"]Scrubs The Todd would response something like this "Dude you just totally insinuated by extention that I'm doing your mom." Well, maybe he wouldn't use works like insinuated or extention, but you get my point.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]That is totally a topic that needs to go up on Group Sounds. I say your momma jokes are the corner stone of all other high school insults, and when used correctly, can be absolutely retort-proof. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]No, no, no, no, we're not going to get into a loop where you state you're surprised I'm surprised that you're not surprised that I'm surprised.

[SIZE="1"]Obviously Beth has awesome boobs, she just doesn't want to admit it in front of a hoard of teenage guys. ;)

I think this Johnny Bravo avatar is really beginning to affect me. Next I'll start saying stuff like "Hey pretty mama, can I borrow a quarter 'cause I told my mama I'd call her when I met the woman of my dreams."[/SIZE]
