I can't remember if someone has made a topic about this before but I don't care anyway

.

So what have YOU done to make yourself proud, a piece of literature, an exam pass?

Post 'em up!

Well other than becoming god, 15 billion years ago, and creating the universe, and making myself the center of it all, sorry religous fanatics(i'm the center, not you), i well, uhhh..., um...did stuff...uh...such as, oh yeah i remember this one.

I created a bunch of fellows, that ended banding together, and making Monty Python. They make me Proud, with a capital P.

Smacked a girl over the head with a lunch box in 2nd grade. She was pretty much the leader of the group who sang songs about killing me all the time at the bus stop. I felt so much better after that.

I will say the day my little girl said Daddy.

Pride cometh before the fall

Back when I still played golf, my prideful event was when I hit a 300 yard drive.

Oh, and it was straight.

Golf isn't very important to me, though. Lessee, well, I got 3rd place in the art contest at a Cotton Gin Festival...not very impressive(at least, not to me).

I know! The speech I gave about Sailor Moon in Public Speaking class yesterday.

Tammi and Staci(two of my classmates) absolutely loved it.

Proud to have no life beyond the fourms.

Seriously, I am proud to have intelligence. To understand. To speak my opinion. And I am proud that I haven't the faintest idea about how to use a record player, but am a computer geek.

I'm happy to hear Vlad is doing well

How will get him not to eat the cookies himself?

To answer Nippy's question:

Proud in the sense of being happy and/or very satisfied with:

- My professional achivements (especially my latest study

)

- The patients I really managed to make a difference for when I was working as a clinician

- Having stopped three people from committing suicide (not patients, people I've encountered by chance)

Incredibly unimportant stuff, but anyway:

- Soloing Mount Cook (highest mountain on New Zeeland, 3760m/12350ft in one day - a very long day though

- Got the honour of borrowing a real inuit kayak from a Greenlandic kayakman. (This is an immense honour - but you have to understand the traditional Greenlandic values to recognise it.)
