I dont' think I can top making a good living at what I like doing. Maybe that I'm in better physical shape now than I was 20 years ago when I started doing this.

uh.. um.. this is pretty subjective.. but i'm a pretty damn good baker/cook >/)//w//(\< i love making cookies, cake, and dinner for people.

also, that's awesome about the perfect teeth :D

I got to help write the next edition of the official heartworm diagnosis, treatment, and prevention guidelines.

Keep it coming!

I am a pie ghod. This last year I baked 16 full size black berry and 30+ tartlets. Then from one Very big Pu'kin, I baked 10+ full size and 15+ tartlets (lost count/don't quite remember).

You're also a most excellent handyman.

I am capable of moving ginormous pieces of furniture entirely by myself, despite being on the tiny and female side. I have remodeled my home on numerous occasions without the need for contractors or outside consultants, including the time the basement flooded and the finished portion of the space had to be stripped to the studs and the carpet removed and redone (though we did have professionals put new carpet in, that's outside my skill set).

I win most Drinking Contestz, not really a Good Thing but I do it Often....

Given the right tools and materials, I can make damned near anything.

My specialty is medieval weapons and armor, but I have made everything from gun parts to clothing.

It took me a long time to even realize what I can do is unusual, and I thought I was bad at it compared to my Grandfather.
Now I feel good about my talents and my own accomplishments.

-Badger-

I draw or paint or do something artistic every day. And I get better every day because of it!

Hmmm... I can make nearly* anything happen for a party or event that you can diagram on the back of a blank check.

*if it violates the laws of physics or local statutes, you may have to accept a simacularum.

I'm a talented actor, both on stage and through voice.

I've travelled quite a lot.

I have lots of crazy stories to tell.

I'm getting back in shape.

I'm extremely resilient, a natural survivor in spite of my challenges.

I'm overcoming the challenges of my mental illnesses.

I got resilient teeth too.

I got decent looks.

I'm a real party animal and daredevil.

Overall, I'm not as bad as I think.

Shit, one thing. I fucking forgot about that. Goddamnit.

Last month I filed (and got them accepted) more complaints than the rest of QA team combined.

You have perfect teeth. Awesome.
I know how to make the diabetes inducing southern style ice tea.

This is a true talent...

When I was a kid, my history teacher was telling us first-hand about the horrors of living through WWII -- well, such horrors as were present in Georgia at the time. Namely that rationing meant they had to use saccharine for their iced tea instead of sugar, and it had a bitter aftertaste. The thought of not dumping a ton of sweetener in their iced tea had literally never occurred to them!

The vet tells me that I take great care of my cat.

I too have never had a cavity, unless you count wisdom teeth. Speaking of which, I should probably have those removed so I can rejoin the no cavity club, lol.

I developed my own art style
...inspired by any number of fav artists: T.Smith, XiJag, PonyGirl, M.Light, Dustmeat and a few others...
....but boasting of that here is not all THAT impressive, sSssssoooooo. ...



I can twirl/spin paired lightsabers!







Yay for good teeth; I forget the study conducted, but it found a link between healthy teeth and better health in general.

Every. Single. Day,
I fix something, engineer something, troubleshoot a problem, discover a new way to integrate systems.
I hope that with this, in some way, I am making the world a better, or at least marginally more functional place, one issue at a time. :)

I enjoy inspiring and seeking inspiration from my fellow FA artists, friends and fans.

I'm good with the putting together of words and phrases into those word string things they put in books.

I have actually had other people tell me they either a) like my writing style or b) wish they could write like me.

I'm too modest and notable achievement-lacking to brag.

Just proud of my trivia knowledge, working in the same (non-art) professional field for a long while, and sticking around (even with the drama, politics, and snobs) in furry art to enjoy some wonderful art and having a place to get in some good punchline gags of my own.

I am quite good at giving back and neck massages.

I saved a dogs life last week that was choking literally on a bone, reached in and literally yanked it out. The owner was in tears in appreciation for it was her late daughters pet.

I am a good writer.

I used to be a reasonable veterinary nurse before I retired. I think I helped save a few animals.... :)

I am an accomplished cook who can (among other things) can create a roast dinner with lamb, pork, beef or chicken, and can cook spaghetti carbonara without referencing a recipe. I can cook on a barbeque and a camp stove as well as in the kitchen, and I can even use a (cooking) blowtorch to caramelise sugar on a crème brulee.

Helped to organize the very first Furry Fandom themed room-parties and the very first Furry Fandom themed conventions ^^

I have helped start two businesses which are still going at 5 and 2 years respectively (though I have left the first one).

I make a damn good curry C:

I have been told by several artists that they like the ideas I use to commission them.

I've created 9 graphic novels totaling over 450 pages.

Aside from the artistic skills, I am tops in road navigation. If I have been to a place once, I can drive to it again. I can't get lost,driving. I once drove over logging trails to find a Re-enactment camp that had been poorly marked on a bad photocopy of an old map. I know how to get to LAX on surface streets at rush hour and avoid traffic.

I created a micronation... and came up with the idea and extensive designs for cytrans: the only realistic way to bring furries to life.

I'm also a casual architect, inventor/product designer without a sponsor, and pretty much a polymath & philomath in numerous branches of science, history, geography, geology, astronomy, and so on.

I got my mom out of a speeding ticket in French :D

I can drive the nastiest, most congested Los Angeles freeways like a pro, and I've never gotten a traffic ticket in 20+ years of driving.

I don't think there's another artist doing furry comics that can do layout, composition and pacing better than me.

I was accepted into CalArts on my first try, with no formal art education beyond 1 year of high school art. I was one of only 25 other people accepted that year.

I don't like bragging, personally. If I'm not feeling like I'm lying through my teeth, then I don't sound out loud as impressive as I did in my head.

But I think I can safely say I'm probably the only user on this site who has his own Fourth Doctor scarf (the Season 18 one in reds and purple) crocheted by his own hand.

I am a fairly talented pistoleer, despite very, very limited range time and owning only two hand guns, one of which I've yet to successfully fire with proper ammunition.

I'm able to constantly hit 5x2 targets (about the space a human heart occupies) at 25 yards. Near as I can figure it's because I constantly practice my technique with an air-soft pistol (read: playing pretend in the house).

Though, to be fair my pistol is a Cz.82, and unlike most other auto pistols it has a fixed barrel, giving it unusually good accuracy for such a small gun.


I've also been able to read at a college level since before middle school.


I didn't know which was more impressive, since reading is pretty normal but I was good at it when you're not supposed to be.

And plenty of people are good shots, but I've lived most of my life in situations which limit if not actively prohibit any kind of shooting practice. Almost none of the techniques I've learned were taught to me by any mentor or class, to the point where my father, a skilled if disinterested shooter in his own right, has been learning techniques from me.

Seriously, the guy has expert marksmanship badges and never bothered to teach me a thing. Then again the last time I knew less than him about guns and shooting I was, like, 12.

He had an unlocked gun in the house with me at 14 and I knew more about the gun and how to handle it than he did!

I can solve Rubik's Cube in many different ways, most of which I invented myself. I have also taught myself to solve many other similar puzzles such as the Square-1, the Megaminx, the Void Cube, the Curvy Starminx, the Tuttminx, the Helicopter Cube, the Mixup Cube, the 3x3x9 Cube...

...okay, so I needed help with the Master Skewb.

Ooo and I designed a perpetual calendar that fits on a wallet-size card and covers several millennia.

Hmmm... as you highlighted, Dustmeat, some of us are not so good at bragging... but, here goes..

Basically, skills-wise, any hands on task I can do well... carpentry, electricals, plumbing, metalwork, car repairs, building, bricklaying, whatever.. most of my friends call me to help with or provide ideas on these things or ask me to check over so-called "professional work" they've had or are having done... and as a Technical Officer by training and Comms Officer/Systems Engineer by occupation, I do get a few comments on "How the blazes do you know all this stuff?"... I always say that I owe most of my practical skills to my farming father and grandfather who taught me most of them as I grew up.

I got Employee of the Month again for March. :)

I speak Russian just well enough that, with my appearance, other emigre types assume I'm a fellow newly-arrived-in-the-States, and try to hold fluent conversations with me - which I'm not quite good enough to do.

Also, I really like my eye color!

I think I have a pretty nice ass, though it tends to be a bit loud.

I received the highest score possible on my high school writing test. Less than 1% of the population received a score of "6" and I was the only one in my class to get it.

There hasn't been anything I could not fix. I might get pissed off and walk away from it, but it only postpones repair temporarily, even if I put a few dents and dings in it.

Those usually disappear shortly after I'm done fixing the original problem.

Oh well, bragging it is.

I have pretty decent lateral thinking skills in scientific and technical problems. I often see/find obvious (to me) solutions, that everybody around me somehow manage to miss.

I understand reality better than most people. That sounds strange but it is the basis for a lot in my life. I am a pretty good mechanic, so much so I am a maintenance manager where I work. I have designed pump seals that successfully pump chemicals in conditions that engineers say no seal would hold more than a week. I'm getting over a year in some cases. I can operate just about any vehicle I come in contact with. I've flown civilian aircraft (and built a tail section for a rare Meyer's 200 on the original jigs), piloted a nuclear submarine (and fixed it too), driven a 43 foot Fountain speedboat faster than the world record for the hull type (not official) that was broken by Don Johnson (yeah, that Don Johnson) the very next day. I've flown in one of the rarest production aircraft that still flies, the Meyer's 400 Interceptor. Two were built and one crashed back in the 1970's. It held a lot of civilian speed records back in the '70's and 80's as it was basically a low wing Mooney with a turboprop that had the performance of a P-51 Mustang( the turboprop had to be severely detuned to keep the engine from ripping the airframe apart). I own a cabin cruiser that I am rebuilding at the moment that is a real pain in the ass to maneuver with two engines and rudders that are just decoration.

I was riding a motorcycle from the age of 8 (and a minibike before that) and had my first car at 16. I build my first gun at 17 from a kit and am an ok gunsmith even today. I built my first plastic model airplane at 5 and was winning model contests by high school. I'm pretty ok at sculpting and making things in general. I can draw and paint but not that well but I think I can write a story when I set my mind to it. I can photoshop with the best of them and I should know because I've seen a few 'shops in my day. :)

I got started in Second Life 11 years ago and in that time I think I helped a lot of furs find a place where they could live out some of their fantasies (or create a crushing addiction). I created one of the first low cost furry avatars you could buy in SL from a vender rather than have it custom built. I also have one of the oldest continuous business locations in SL that will have been open and in the same location since 2004.

My faults are vast though and following instructions is not one of my strong points....

Receiving a commendation for keeping a level head during a medical emergency in my workplace.

I had an idea for something fun here on FA.

And you were right! It has been fun to read all these accomplishments, so it turned out to be a very good (and novel) idea, indeed (actually, you come up with a lot of those).

SIX SUCCESSFUL CROWDFUNDINGS and I have DELIVERED ON ALL THEM!!

SUCK IT, MOLYNEUX!!!!!!1

That dancing Raff icon is about perfect with that accomplishment.

People in the street regularly praise my outfits. This makes me especially happy given that I transitioned a mere ten or so years ago and had absolutely no fashion sense back then.

I can be happy with very little and am currently doing what I want with my life =D
And I'll work harder on it, each time a little better!
Also, i have good taste in the people I watch
