Bragfest, anyone?
Who feels like bragging on themselves? I do. I have NEVER littered. Never, ever. Appropriate for Earth Day, no?

What's so great about you?

22. Longest drive I ever did was
Bangor, Maine to Seattle, Washington. It's about 3000 miles. I used to sleep in a truck, they have sleeper berths, when I was an over the road trucker. I now do a short haul run from Dayton, Ohio to Toledo, Ohio that gets me home every night.

I've never asked any trucker about their politics, but I know that many of them tend to be socially conservative. I've heard more than once a trucker on the cb spouting garbage that he obviously heard Rush or Hannity say. But I've also heard some fellows speak as if they were liberals. I'm will to bet that the ratio of conservative to liberal amongst truckers is about the same as in the general population.

7. I just finished the first month of a new job that I love.
Another brag: I got called into my boss's office because she wanted to show me a few emails in which some bigwigs were saying nice things about me. When (not "if") I get a promotion, I'll nearly double my current salary.

OK. I'm done.

10. Okay, now that's hitting below the belt
i have never been able to make a good pie crust. Who am I kidding? I've never even tried. There would be dignity in at least trying.

13. Those are two very interesting attributes
It's probably not good to wear spandex after you eat homemade fudge anyway. Not that you have to worry about that, I'm sure.

14. I can wiggle my left ear until it flaps like dumbo,
and I can speak right behind you word for word as if I am duplicating your speech. I have been studied by many as a miracle of science. Well, maybe not MANY, but at least a couple...well, ok, so it was only ONE couple, and they were my parents. So What Is Your Point??

Never missed a vote. Also I have never voted for a Republican. For anything. Ever.

17. Those are worth bragging about
You are right to be proud. I admire people who always knew how they felt. Unfortunately, I went through a several year period of apathy that I am NOT proud of.

25. Oh well, you can make up for that now.
We all have done things in our past that we aren't proud about. Mine just don't involve voting.

I put together massive amounts of furniture this week (Ikea rocks by the way!), did most of my moving myself, worked full-time, and am still sane and energetic at the end of it all. :D

30. I rescued a failing choir program this year
and raised the average Choral Assessment score from 67 (fair) to 89 (excellent) in one year.

Because of this I have been offered a very good job that pays about 7000 dollars more per year.

31. Every job I've had I've gotten from my own merits,
not because I knew someone. After many years of listening to those who berated me due to not havin a college degree I stuck to it and finally finished my BA.

33. So you're saying that you're the opposite of *?
* , as I'm sure you know, was handed everything he has, including his Ivy League degree, without having to earn it. He's messed up everything he's ever touched, even with all this help. Yet his followers think he's to be admired? It's the working class people that have to make their own way in the world that make this country great. Congrats on the degree!

Yeah I believe I'm the exact opposite of *.
