Things you are proud of.....

[TomWilko]

I am proud of...

Been competitve swimming for 13 years now (5 years old to present.) And have loads of trophies, medals + certificates.

My IT Excel + Access systems built at AS and A-Level, they have helped me learn the more complex bits of these programs and its great helping people at the place i am working for over the summer

[THCi]

Probably just my GCSE levels really.

I dont "live" enough to be proud of anything substantial (that comes with being broke as well!)

And, the Mrs Dancing, thats quite good as well, but then I proud of her anyway!

[Dr. X]

My scholar's gown! Not really, as I don't have one yet.

What I'm proud of?..

Despite my achievements, not that much. I tend to be proud (and protective) of things that most people don't scream and shout about any more, mostly 'cause they're special to me and don't get paraded round much.

I don't place as much emphasis on exams as lots of people do (parents, tutors, friends) despite them being my strongest ability... dunno why, but they just irritate me too much to care about them.

I'm pretty fond of some of the artwork/photography that I've done. Admittedly, looking back on a lot of my art it's pretty childish and not up to what I'd call a reasonable standard but I'm a perfectionist and while practicing spent 8 hours drawing a can of lynx

Also my running... never been very well built but I could run like the wind, which made me pretty useful in the school footy/rugby teams (left back, winger respectively) but since coming to uni I've had a chance to start running again (noncompetitively) and managed some enviable times around the uni parks

Do you get hassle at airports etc?

I distinctly remember that just after the consultant told me what they were going to do to me before going into the theater. My only question before being knocked out by the anaesthethics was: "Is it going to be beep in the airport?" and I was quite disappointed when he replied "No, it won't."

Just before I woke up after the operation, I was having a bad dream that someone pull a fast one on me and made me one leg longer than the other... Can you imagine my relieve when I woke up and did a quick check and found my legs appeared to be the same length?

I was 12 when I started, and in the group that I trained with (Tonge Judo Club), all the kids quit when they were 16. So I was the only one to go into the adult class. Ended up training against the kind of guy that you can just tell would absolutely maul you in a dark alley. It was all good fun though, managed to hold my own, and I think it made me a better fighter.

Before I did judo/sambo, I trained Kempo from quite an early age. Bit of a mix of kickboxing and karate. Good fun, I learnt alot from that, but I do regret stopping when I started highschool

I started Judo at 5 years old, did it until I was about 12, muchos fun but I didn't like it much at the gradings with loads of people watching you... having said that I used to do quite well, got to about orange belt IIRC oh and I got a trophy for a year and got my name engraved on it and a few medals. Also got about 4 medals and 2 trophys for football whilst i was in primary school, curious because we never won a single game...

I'm proud of...

Teaching myself bass guitar and being able to play stuff I never thought I would in quite a short time.

Buying almost everything for the PC's I own, and not having to rely on tech support

Getting a place at Keele University for music technology, even though I dropped A level music

Being able to pass expert songs on Dance Dance Revolution after only about 3 months (how sad, hehe)

There's probably other more important things, but I cba to list them atm!

The thing i'm most proud of is representing the UK in international fencing events, both under 17 and open level.

There are also things like getting my black belt in Tae Kwon Do, getting decent GCSE and A level grades, and djing and promoting a successful club night

Something i wanna do it Tai Boxing or Kendo. Defo Kendo, that would ROCK! I know most the stance positions, just not the moves or the technique etc.

OT: I managed to cream a bouncy ball over 4 houses the other day playing about with kendo stance and swings with a wooden stick LOL. my sis wasnt best pleased bout the ball though.

You dont beep at airports cause its a titainium bolt in you id haev thought.

I was useless at football, they used to pick me second from last and then ut me in goal

Then a really fat block would kick the ball equivelent to five times his weight at my nether regions..
