I can do the Rubik's Cube with my feet. I can also breakdance and at one point owned more than one pair of parachute pants.

I figured this was appropriate, as well:
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations with the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis. But I have not yet been to Vegas. |

I was going to say I could bench press 435lbs at age of 16 but it was only at my high school, but yours is more awesome.
How about this one? A professional wrestler at a gym I worked out offered to pay 30k a year to go out and lose to him and other wrestlers, I turned it down and went to college instead. |

I learned to read when I was 4. The kindergarden staff used to make me read to the other kids while they took long coffee breaks. As a result I like to help people, but only if I can do it by doing something I enjoy. (Can I help you with anything, Courtie? ) |

I would say that this statement applies to almost all degrees. |

I have a black belt in karate (I only know how to fight other karate people). I know how to skateboard (I use to do handrails). I can play the piano, guitar, drums (quints), and saxophone. Although not really well. I'm an Eagle Scout. Played soccer and golf my whole life.
And one time at band camp........ |

Wrong, that is a very awsome bench press. How many 16 year olds in the world can even do half that? Not very many. |

I'm band camp queen. I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb on all of those instruments except a tuba and harmonica because I've never tried those instruments. I don't get harmonicas. Maybe I'll go buy one. Tubas are too big ... |

| I use to be really afraid of dogs when I was young. Once in about 1st grade I went to my aunt's for a cook out and her 2 huge german sheprads were running around the yard. While everyone was eating I jumped onto the picnic table and started bawling because I thought they would eat me. My aunt gave me a snickers bar and I came down. Once I realized how wussy it was to be afraid of dogs it turned out they were both pretty rad. They're both dead now. |
