I though as I'm newish I would show what I'm capable of lol, by making a topic that nearly if not everyone can get in on.

So what is it that your proud of in your life? something you've achieved? like a medal or for you movie making skills or even because you helped an old lady across the street, what are you most proud of in your lives?


Well for me I'm most proud of the fact that I'm a very good writer, by the time I was 12 I had 3 poems that I had written published in 3 North Yorkshire Poetry books, by the time I was 16 I'd had two more published, I've also been voted best writer in my last year of school by my class mates which I'm also proud of, however it's my independent writing that I'm most proud of, I had been an roleplayer in the art of e-wrestling (Electronic wrestling federations / you play the role of a wrestler and you act out scenes created by you and others) for over 10 years and after I retired from the profession in 2003 I started to write fanfics (main idea plot around a certain thing such as a Tv Show and putting my own idea's into it)

Unfortunately I lost all but one of my fanfics in a hard-drive corruption in 2007 but I still have one that I haven't quite finished (haven't had the time to finish right now), but I've also started on writing screenplays :) just for my own personal enjoyment, ironic enough I don't want to follow a path of being a writer lol or anything to do with writing, I just like to do it in my spare time :).

That's my something that I'm most proud of, what is yours?

I'm most proud of my writing.. my newer stuff especially that i cant post on the site cuz i want to try and get it published in a magazine or something :oops:

That and the fact that my best friends dont believe that this is my first relationship.. though it is.. they say that i shouldn't be able to say and do all this stuff right my first time :) That makes me pretty damn proud.. especially cuz i was paranoid the whole time, wondering if i was doing things wrong, if i looked stupid, if i spoke weird.. i dunno.. i'm a paranoid person :P

I am proud to be a PotF fan, like over_maybe, and I am one of very few Kuwaiti fans.

I think I'm also proud of some of my actions towards many things that happened in my life, I made some right choices and some wrong choices, and even though I regret somethings I have done in the past, I still feel very good about my life and I feel good about my past experiences.

and last, but not least, I am also Proud to be Kuwaiti! click my signature :D :P

Of course first of all I'm proud to be Hungarian. I love my country!
I'm proud to be the funder of the hungarian PotF street team.
I'm proud to be the creator of MaxPayne.hu and the leader of the Hungarian Max Payne Community.
I'm proud to be a part of a such a great community, like the PotF Forum...

Hmm, old thread, I see...

I was once asked this question (what are you most proud of?), and I will reply the same as then:

Every smile or laugh I have caused.

I'm proud of a few things, most of which are in my childhood, like the time I traveled with my fellow high school A Capella choir members to California where, after we performed, met someone who wanted to interview me personally at a radio station. (My choir director forbade it, saying it wasn't fair to everyone else. Still, it felt good.) :P

Most recently, I'm proud of having the guts to plan and execute a trip to Helsinki all by myself. (Of course, I had tons of help, but I still went alone, so that feels good, too.) :oops: :lol:

Difficult question.

I´m proud of my poem blogs and my readers. I´m proud of that I can write.

I´m proud of that I have helped people. Translated interviews and all that stuff. I have made some people happy.

I´m proud of being part of Team Arschkrokodil.

I´m proud of learning how to play piano, bass, drums and guitar. I´m not good, nope, but I know I can play at least something.

I'm not really proud of anything that I have achieved, but I guess I could be proud of going on even though I'm never satisfied with what I have done.

Character qualities that I'm proud of...I'm proud that I'm always myself, that I don't change my opinions just so other would like me. And I'm proud for my patience, for keeping my mouth shut even when I'd have a good reason to say something.

I'm proud of many things actually. Also a lot of things that I'm not proud of, but this is not the topic for that ;)

For example, I'm proud of where I am now. I'm going to study pharmaceutical sciences at university, that's not just something! And just the way I ended school, I could have ended it without working at all, but still I did work, and I'm proud of what I achieved there. In general if I want to achieve something I do it (and not just on school) :)

But as well as a person I grew really much in the last time. I changed from the shy, quiet girl that didn't dare to say anything about herself, to a social person who knows where she stands for, stays herself, but still without pushing others away. And I'm not vulnerable for group pressure anymore, at all. That's something I'm really proud of, since 90% of the people, are.

And then I'm just proud of my curiosity and openness. I'm always very, very interested new things, new people and new cultures, languages, etc and always look to both sides of the stories. And I won't judge people that quick. Besides I always want to make everyone of the group comfortable, not that one sits there unhappy, you know.

So that was quite a list, I hope I don't sound cocky haha. But trust me, a negative story would probably be just that long ;)

I'm proud To Be Kuwaiti
also proud of many things like being a fan of POTF, Since the people i know that they know this band are few, acutally maybe just two !
I don't want to sound like "show off person" but i like how I am & my friends like me, that makes me proud of myself.
the most thing I'm proud of is being Muslim.

Many might think this is a silly thing to say, but I take the most pride in my kids. They're just babies, and they haven't done much in this world but still, they changed my world in amazing ways. Every little thing they do makes me swell with pride and think somehow, something I made that happen.

So yes, my twins. :mrgreen:
