Proud (pathetic) accomplishments youve never had a chance to mention
Recently i celebrated for half an hour, because i caught the toast which popped up first time in the air (spring mechanism) a couple of centimetres above the hot metal rim of the toaster, using only my fingers, as i stood and stared at it for four minutes not knowing exactly when the toast would pop up.
What are your pointless credentials, that make you feel good about yourself, but you cant quite sneak on a CV, no matter how hard you try?

Anything sensible I do while intoxicated is an accomplishment to me at the time. I'm completely amazed at myself. I'll go take a piss and while doing so I'll say outloud "look at me peeing where I'm supposed to. I am so ****ing smart. If I'm this smart drunk I must be a goddamn genius sober." I make the same type of comment if I vomit in an acceptable area, find my way home, or manage to dial a telephone.

When I've had a little too much to drink, I literally never miss the toilet bowl. Even when I don't have control.

I've got extremely fast reflexes somehow, when a glass for example fall off from a table I tend to catch them mid-air.
People notice it for the moment and you see them think , wow that was bloody fast, but they never talk about it later on :/

ah yeah and another one, even more pathetic
Most of the time i suck at teamsports just because I don't give a damn but one time when i was at college we had some hockey game. My team won by 9-0 and I scored all of the goals.
Somehow the stick-ball control felt like playing Kick-off 2, I swear you I am not joking. I never played a match of hockey before and I just walked 9 times through the field towards the goal, the ball kept being stuck on my stick like if I was playing goddamn Kick off 2.
Pretty pathetic no? Kick off 2 on Amiga rocked very hard and so did I.

actually I got another one, just before I go to bed;
To entertain myself a bit I like to guess what time it is at the very moment of having that thought. Somehow I am oftenly exactly right, on the minute and if not I am always very close.
I am such a damn Indian!

managing to bowl a strike whilst rolling the ball under my legs with my back to the lane was a rather curious achievement.
mostly its just having ridiculously high reaction speeds sometimes...
(oh, and ive met about 5 core members of the star wars cast, but thats just geeky )

I have defined 'time' in a more accurate sense
I have subsequently deducted that time travel is impossible
I have theorized that everything that happends is(was) inevitable
I have concluded that self-deceit is the #1 human past-time.
And many more others, including some working projects.
But most importantly, this morning I ripped a fart that lasted 20 seconds.

Successfully setting up my old laptop as an ftp server seemed quite an accomplishment. And pretty much every crap piece of art I cram out of photoshop impresses me to no end for a few days after I've made it.
(pss, Dark_Mage, is your siggeh making me look or ? )

Delaying _everything_ to the last possible moment, yett never missing anything critical or suffering any bad consequences what so ever. Which only reinforces the habit of course.
For instance, I have to pay my rent tomorrow. Today I sendt an application for a credit line to my bank, on email, just before they closed up for the day, and got it fixed immediately. I mean, for all I know, the bank might have taken a week to consider my application, and required me to sign papers or stuff. Did I mention that the reason I'm broke is that I haven't gotten my tax card yett, and got 50% tax on my last pay check? And that I'll go tomorrow down to the local tax office to get it, since I need it before the end of february to not have my pay completely withheld next month? That there is usually a 5 working days delay on getting it, but that I'm sure I'll get it in time?
Just a small sample at my accomplishments at delaying stuff to the last possible minute. I'll prolly sprint to the train tomorrow morning and _just_ make it, after sleeping that extra half an hour. In fact, I think I'll set my alarm clock so I'll have to.

I can almost relate. I tend to do the same thing, except with less luck.
Usually it ends up with me narowly avoiding my commeuppance for periods of 5-6 months a year, before everything ive ever done wrong comes back to me in one day.

I used to be the best Age of Conquerors player in the UK.
I have incredible ability to judge times, speeds and distances. I can judge if I will make it past a car with about a few feet to spare. Granted it I ever got it wrong I'd die, but that makes it more fun.

Cloneness still in action :/
Also, I said the account "Sarah" was a troll/gimmick from the very start, and everyone flamed me to hell about it. And I ended up being dead right!

ive also just remembered i have a talent for somewhat being able to predict the exact duration a thread has before it will be closed/deleted. though the mods have been known to occasionally mis-time my predictions.
