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 also at one time had the drug free state record bench press for the powerlifting organization I competed in.

And at the dungeon style gym I worked out at we had a guy who went on to compete for the U.S.A. in the olympics. I helped spot him (along with 3 other guys) while he did 900 pound squats.

I'm old now Confused


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? Peanut Butter Jelly Time! )

But I absolutely despise my Criminal Justice degree. Its an incredible waste of time, effort, and money. And its really not interesting whatsoever because out of everything I've been "taught" (and I use that word very loosely) rarely does any of it have any foreseeable, practical use.


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.
