Say something awesome about yourself
« on: Thursday, December 02, 2010, 11:45:40 PM »
Fuck modesty.

I'll start - I'm really good at ping-pong and tennis.

Ping-pong is more of social thing - I learned from my dad, who lived with a good Asian ping-pong player in college. He kicked my ass on a regular basis growing up. I beat him once, and he beat me a thousand times. But now I'm quite good, and my brother and I play every now and then.

Now, as far as tennis, I really wish that I would have pursued it more. I'm quite good at it - I have an excellent serve and forehand. If there was ever a talent in my life that I have abandoned, it would be this. It's really something that you have to pursue at a young age, though, because now at 24 I have no chance to get back into it at a high level.

I actually used to play tennis when I was really young.  I wasn't bad.  Did pretty well at a doubles tournament with the son of my instructor.  I didn't play for years and picked up a racket again to play with a friend, and I couldn't even remember how to swing.  It was amazing, it was as though I'd never even touched it before.

As for something awesome about myself... I'm having trouble coming up with anything.  I'll get back to you.

I'm really good at Smash Bros, like I could probably own all of you.

I an pretty good at squash but don't play too frequently anymore.  I do wish I had more time to play it though.

I used to be awesome at Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory like as in I would win every one on one battle, every time and would generally own groups as well.  Now though?  I guess I could say that I'm meticulous and logical, and this makes me a good troubleshooter for IT problems.

I used to be really good at bowling. I probably could have went pro with an average of 219. My family was a bowling family, and I pretty much spent at least 1/3 of my childhood in a bowling alley bowling. I had always been in a league up until I was about 23, and the friends that I had been bowling with moved to Reno, and I stopped. I'm still pretty good, but rusty. I only go once every couple months now when I need to blow off some steam alone. My average is about 190 now, but if I decided to pick it up again, I think I would be back in the 200s in no time.

My mom entered me into a chubby cheeks contest when I was a baby, and I took first place.

I'm really good at shooting clays, yet I don't own a gun. I want one though. No idea how I acquired the skill. I go with my buddies everytime I have a chance, and out-shoot them almost every time.

Uh, no. We're talking the original right?

I would give you Kirby and STILL beat you mofo.

I've managed to milk the university lifestyle out for the last ten years.  That's pretty impressive.

Oh god, I'm so down on myself right now.

Don't get too down on yourself - there's still a remote chance that you will post pictures of yourself on here flexing without a shirt on.

Keebs has told me on countless occasions that he comes here in the hope that you will post them. Also he's under the assumption that you have "BEAST" tattooed on your chest.

I'm just MysterD - and that within itself says a lot about my awesomeness.

I... I don't think anyone can top that.
