is that where you get paid to spam a bunch of records in the new releases forum?

ROFL

I have some relatively small things:

-I've won money playing video games.

-I could be playing in the CHL if it weren't for a couple of life twists. I received goalie coaching from the Czech Republic National team coach (whom personally coached Thomas Vokoun).

--I've received numerous MVP and achievement awards from camps and tournaments in Canada while being barely considered amongst my peers.

-I was part of a select group that got to utilized a drop tower at NASA's Ohio facility. While there I got to watch combustion experiments being performed in the I.S.S. in real time. My groups experiment's were on the behaviors of soap films in microgravity environments, the ISS experiments were studying how different kinds of gases combusted in microgravity.

-I've been mistaken for being at least two years younger than I actually am since the age of 11. My neighbors thought I was 15 until I showed them my university ID card (I'm 19).

I don't feel like I've done much of anything yet. I hope to do something cool in the future with physics though.

i did 80km biketrips when i was 6

Nothing. Perfect Pitch has been my goto, but I know there are a few of you on this forum who have it as well. Besides, 1 in 10,000 people have it, so 677,523 other people can claim this.

I saw ghosts when I was very young. I never communicated with them, but they were very vivid. I don't like to talk about it because I don't know how to defend the existence of ghosts. If I had never seen them I probably would be skeptical of their existence. I'm pretty staunch about the paranormal.

One of the ghosts I saw wasn't human either. So I don't know what the fuck was going on.

Under the off-chance you're not taking the piss:

You still seem to enjoy music quite a bit. Is it just ordinary sounds that bother you? I hadn't heard of this until I briefly looked it up.

i can shoot fire with my eyes, outside of that nothing comes to mind

When I was a chef in Manchester many years ago, I once made dessert for Victoria Beckham. I can't recall exactly what it was, but my brain tells me it was a chocolate torte. Around the edge of the of the plate I made a circle of creme Anglaise, then put put drops of raspberry coulie in the creme Anglais. Used a toothpick to drag around the Creme Anglaise to make the heart shapes from the coulie. Not even so much as a kiss from her. But she ate the fucking lot, according to the waitress!

It took me about 1 year (working every day) to create a 5.1 surround music liveact with videos I did myself to be shown on more than 5 projectors simultaneously and so on (underwater stuff, ultraslowmotion etc).

when it was finished I stopped making music at all.

that was about 3 years ago

that's not that weird. people have thought i'm 17 ever since i turned 18. i drank in pubs when i was 15.. a woman at the garage in town my dad lives in sold me cigarettes when i was 15 (shops were actually very careful at that time, cause police were sending kids it to try and buy fags and booze, that stopped later i think but yea), i remember her for that reason, but she IDed me a couple of months ago! i'm 27.

yeah im 26 and since i have gone back to school, everyone just assumes im a freshman. nope, i got 8 years on these suckaz.

fell out of a 2 story window when 2 years old and then became a supervillain

I'm willing to wager I have more personal injuries than the average person.

Have had my head sewn up twice [once for being hit with a brick]

Stitches in my hand that cut the skin between the thumb and palm

Surgery on my foot

Surgery on my mouth [non wisdom teeth related since I don't have them]

Surgery on my collarbone [there's a metal plate over my clavicle now]

Big scar under my chin from running into a banister on my bike

Cracked rib

Been door'd once

And I got hit by a car a couple weeks ago. Those are just off the top of my head.

The truly amazing thing is I've done tons of stupid crazy shit and I've never been arrested.

I was prom king.

Hahaha!

At my prom I shared my flask of whiskey with my history teacher and left after all the drunk girls decided to grace us with their rendition of "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" on stage. Then at the afterparty i took a leak on two people fucking in a outhouse when i really had to pee. I also ate a really big cookie and punched my ex-girlfriends brother in the face. The next year was his prom and i attended the afterparty. He took a running jump at me and punched me in the eye. it was fucking awesome.

LOL! holy shit, i hope that story is real

That shit will forever have happened and there is nothing i can do about it. I actually ran into a dude a month or so after prom at some house party who told me some asshole had pissed on him when he was trying to get with some girl in an outhouse at prom. i laughed so hard, in his face, and he had no idea. he really was a douche though so i couldn't feel bad if i wanted to.

i have no respect for jock type douches (in highschool)

You would not have liked this guy. but these are the things that happen in small, northern canadian cities.

For the record, I wasn't a jock or a douche. I was a raver/metalhead. I think a bunch of younger punk rockers somehow rigged the election so that I won.

There were a bunch of people who were genuinely upset that I won because they thought I couldn't care less. They were totally right

What's funny too is that the people who put the yearbook together didn't really focus on the fact I (or my girlfriend, who won prom queen and was a goth raver) won. Instead, they put really large pictures of the people they thought should win, because they were friends. Such bullshit

It makes for funny moments though. When I go to shops around here to get whatever and the people working there are kids that go to whatever local high school and ask what high school I go to, that usually gives me a good laugh. Situational humor is the best.
