Back in town for a few days

[whiteypoker]

Thank you thank you. No really, thats much too kind.

Well I'm back from a short vacation.

Before I left I had been accused of bragging, which was the key component in the argument that I belittled people in my debates. As you can/will see from my spelling, belittling people would be quite difficult as I too have many of my own faults.

So here's the scoop. Why not have a thread of self love? Not the kind that makes you go blind, because then we'd only have about half of the population participating. No...this thread is intended to post your achievements or you life's resume. At least it will be interesting. I'll start.

• Graduated from my elementary school after doing an intensive English learning program (back then, those were optional)
  
• Was a boyscout for 2 years, and as section leader on my second year.

• Graduated from college with a R-grade of 27.1 (25 being the average, 31 and over gets you to medical school)

my eagle project, which began when I was 14, was the construction of a memorial park in Van Alstyne. The volunteer labor logged over 180 hours, 172 above the requirements of the eagle project standards of the time...I have no idea what they are now....keep killing whitey

Oh...I began riding horses at the age of three as well, though I have no trophies or what not...my uncle is umm a cowboy and all of his kids and nieces and nephews learned to ride

Good stuff so far. Did that hurt so bad?

*Put my mother in the hospital during the LA Olympics because I wanted to be born a month early
*doctors figured out I had cyclic neutropenia (sporadic white blood cell count) after months of poking and prodding my poor baby toes
*age two was taken to the emergency room for a spider bite-- turns out I was allergic and the thing took over half my chubby little leg before they pulled the fluid out
*age eight or so moved to Singapore, was nearly held back a year because California's schooling system isn't as good as theirs. Nyah.
*age ten moved back to California, this time in the middle of the desert. Discovered my love for writing via one AMAZING fifth grade teacher.
*Somewhere in here I found out that the allergy to bananas I'd had since age seven or so had expanded to all fruit. Damn you, sensitive system!
*age eleven joined Girl Scouts. Realized it was bunch of floofy chicks discussing hair/boys and not about camping and horseback riding (like my brother's Boy Scouts was) stayed in only because mum was Troop leader
*age twelve took ballet, sister took tap/jazz. I have good rhythm, but am not flexible. She is flexible, but her rhythm isn't so good. Decided we should switch, and excelled a lot more, though we both continued our previous dance styles
*also started learning to play flute at age twelve. So. Much. Fun.
*age fourteen or so moved to Georgia (NO MORE GIRLSCOUTS, YAY!)after dad got out of the Navy
*that year suffered from (undiagnosed, and it wasn't really necessary to) depression, because Georgia really -sucks- in comparison to California in a lot of ways. Got through it via support from Godwyn and his family.
*age fifteen met the PMS girls, but didn't become good friends with them until just about sixteen
*age sixteen joined percussion class because scheduling didn't allow me to be in the regular band. Loved it. Became very close with Antinua in particular, but also the rest of the PMS girls.
*age seventeen barely made it through high school, graduated like a week after turning eighteen
*age eighteen managed to finally convince my parents I needed a year out of school by not attending any of my college classes. Yay for Academic Probation
*age nineteen started working for a Daycare center, turned twenty, and joined PO!! Attended first AWA, Dragon Con
*age twenty got to go back to college again. Met up with PO peoples at AWA, started dating the most AMAZING man in the WORLD (love you, Shino-sama), and with his help am starting to crawl out of the hole I dug myself into.
*age twenty-one-- I plan to get smashingly drunk at some point, and then never drink again. Also, RENFEST, AKON, AWA! Glee!
