Hey, I like this meme-

Leave a comment praising yourself to the skies. Genuine, unqualified praise. Tell me something about you that's utterly awesome.

though I see people don't seem to know how to do it.

Like this:

Babies love me. I can make any baby mine, heart and soul, in about thirty minutes: twenty if there's any kind of predisposition. I've done it in five. The US government should be me: they'd have passionate fans from Vietnam to Iraq. Half the countries would cry when the American delegate entered the UN because they'd think the American delegate is Mommy and they missed hir.

I can put almost any baby to sleep except the ones that really aren't tired. I can tell which angle, speed and position works best to rock each baby, and I can also tell if se wants to lie down and be patted instead.

And I *always* know who has a full diaper. The nose knows. What a wine taster was lost when I took up my present occupation.

Your turn.

I'm a good writer. Specifically, I write good porn, and action scenes. If you want a character to fight, fuck, or in the case of Agon/Hiruma to do both at once and using any blunt objects to hand, I'm the girl you can rely on.

...that said, I think at the age of 26 I should've achieved at least ONE thing that I'm prouder of than the above. But no.

I'm very good in cheering people up. They enter my icq burdened by worries and uncertainty, and they leave encouraged and full of energy, and the next thing I know - they've made their most important choices with a light heart.
Unfortunately I can't do it for myself...

I'm damn good in Photoshop. I've been known for years - plural, years - as "the Photoshop girl." People came to me in high school with both little things ["Hey, can you put Mr. Nihart's face on King Kong?"] and big things ["Can you make this faxed copy of an ad printable?"], and I've never been one-upped in person. [Online's a slightly different story, especially on art sites like dA.] One time, I Photoshopped a fake Google search, and everyone thought it was real. XD "Dude, Google refused to search for 'Date Movie,' it's that bad!"

I make the best chocolate-chip cookies ever. No shit, Sherlock. If I had any marketing skilz at all, I'd be famous. But I don't, so there you go.

My driving has of late succeeded in not causing danger to life and limb. At the moment that is utterly awesome.

I believe in my heart of hearts that there's not a language I couldn't wrestle to the ground, given time enough and a decent dictionary. I've been held up as an example for French second-graders, for fighting my way up to head of the class when I could barely say "J'ai un chapeau rouge" a year earlier; I've cruelly demolished the curve on high school tests; I've corrected the classical Japanese of native speakers. I intuit unfamiliar idioms and have a keen nose for syntactical impossibilities.

Three times I've fought with my professor when I was sure I was right about some grammatical point, and all three times I've come out on top.

I can make a baby cry in under 5 minutes just by staring at her - cut that to 2.5 minutes if under warpaint (me, not the baby). But then, I am so good at doctoring the truth on teh 'Net, sometimes even I myself believe my own lies.

i am your average saiyuki mom with average intelligence and average at most things I do, but my sis has an extra 15~20 years of life because she has my kidney.

Thanks mjj for allowing me to share!

Wow. That's truly awesome.
