When I devised my custom lopsided 4-4-2 in Pro Evolution Soccer 4, and soon had opposing defenders collapsing in on my midfield who could then release the left wing into a near unpopulated backfield to wreak havoc. Even moreso when I found I could use the L2+X offside trap hot button combination to create a high-pressing defence. I'm not sure what this means... is the other team committing a ludicrous display because of your skill? |

Yesterday, I got a 8192 in 2048. I feel like I've accomplished everything I need to in life now. I don't know what that game is, but somehow I know there is a version using boobs instead of numbers. |

Questions pour un champion ! Julien Lepers does speak insanely fast . I'm pretty sure he's on cocaine. " TOP : Je suis un célèbre chevalier de la première croisade au statut quasi légendaire. Connu comme le Chevalier au Cygne, ma statue orne la Place Royale de Bruxelle... Je refuse le titre de Roi de Jérusalem, après l'avoir conquise, au profit de celui, plus humble, d'Avoué du Saint-Sépulcre. Je meurs empoisonné après avoir mangé une pomme de cèdre offerte par l'émir de Césarée... je suis... je suis ?". Je suis Godefroi de Bouillon, bitches! One time there was also a question about chowder. I was yelling "IT'S CHOWDAH! SAY IT FRENCHIE!" and then Lepers actually did pronounce it "shaw-derr". I was dying of laughter, it was so awesome. |

One time I bought a can of non-stick cooking spray, and when I got home, I found out that the nozzle was missing. I retrieved my previous can's nozzle from the trash, but it was a different brand, and the nozzle didn't fit. I thought, "Dammit, I have an Associate's Degree in Industrial Design Technology from a for-profit art school! I can DO THIS!" With an X-acto knife and some sandpaper, I made the old nozzle fit.

Yesterday I assembled myself an awesome new desk out of a door, two file cabinets, and a fancy-ass keyboard tray. It is glorious.
Also my not-fainting streak continues - blood draw for lab work and no passing out!

I had to clear out the closet in the spare bedroom (which I've been using as my closet). There's a closet in the office without a bar, so I installed that and moved my close there. Hurray me!
Though, I needed a bar that was somewhere around 63 inches long. The one I bougth said up to 72. Then I realized while installing that was centimeters, not inches. Fortunately, the one in the spare bedroom was long enough, and bar I just bought fit there.
Sure, these are things home owners should be able to do, but I still feel useless with most things. It was nice to feel like I did something productive.

I just changed a tire! The last time I did that was probably at least 15 years ago and I was afraid I wasn’t going to remember how to do it but after one quick misstep (I jacked it up before loosening the nuts, then had to drop it back down to loosen them without the wheel spinning before jacking it back up to remove the tire) I completed the job without any trouble. Me too! On Monday in fact. My favorite thing about knowing how to change a tire is that it's one of those things Mrs. Snape doesn't do. She's capable and could learn how, but she knows so many dudes willing to do it for her. Anyway, so she'll call and ask me to do it, and then I do, and then I'm a big damn hero. |

Today I had lunch with my parents. We did not argue about anything. And even though in order to accomplish this we had to restrict our conversation to the weather, sports scores, and the goings on of the neighbors, I still managed to resist checking my phone for the entire hour I was with them.

- Changing my car oil myself.
- Climbing a (small-mid size) mountain. It was pretty much a day-hike, but I can say I did it.
- Getting a student of the year award in community college for basically being on-campus all the time because I had no where else to go.
- Finding my own apartment in a foreign country entirely in a foreign language. I think of it as my sign that I have truly adapted to living here. Plus I get paid to do it now, so it is actually a lucrative skill.

Recently I replaced the intake valve on my toilet, as it was leaking water into the tank, causing the toilet to run constantly. (I had some good help from my friend YouTube.) I actually had to do this twice, as the first time, the valve was fine, but the water supply line was leaking; thinking it was just loose, I tightened it. This not only failed to fix the leaking, but I couldn't loosen it again to remove it from the intake valve. So I resolved to replace both, took a saw to the plastic intake valve, and put in a new valve and supply line.
This wasn't really hard, more of a hassle to sponge the last bit of water out of the tank, but it does feel good to replace a minor problem instead of throwing money at it, i.e. calling in a professional.
I also figured out how to play the intro guitar riff to "Don't Fear the Reaper", but this seems somewhat less practical than having a functional toilet.

I, too, got addicted to 2048 thanks to this thread. Today I beat regular 2048 and Doge2048. Thank, TIers for this incredible time wasting game.

These little victories on the home repair front? I get probably way too proud of myself for fixing stuff like that - but it saves so much money. I was replacing a sink and had to change the under-cabinet shut-off valve for the water supply line, requiring shutting off water to the whole house. The old valve was corroded and dripping a lot even when shut off. It was very easy, the pipe had threads and I didn't have to blowtorch copper, but just a few years ago I would of been paying someone. Google/youtube is a great resource and I'm no longer afraid to ask for help at the hardware store. |

I'm ridiculously proud that I won first place in a Star Wars trivia contest at Disney World's Star Wars Weekends back in 2005. It was knockout style (get a question wrong and you're gone). I won knowing that Zev Senesca was Rogue Two at the Battle of Hoth. My opponent guessed Wedge Antilles (he was Rogue Three).

Last night I put head/tail lights on my bike as well as a cargo rack. This involved many tiny washers and nuts, only one of which I dropped under the couch. Everything was in exactly the right place on the first attempt.
