Now how did I do that?
Have you ever done something you never thought you'd be able to do? Stuff like that has happened to me several times, mostly in games, but I can't remember anything else than one story right now. At school during gym class we have to do this 60 metre/meter/however you spell it dash every year and I have always sucked at it, but this year when I was running alongside one of the fastest runners in my class (I used to be one of the slowest), when I saw that guy run past me I thought 'Ah, what the heck? I'm just as good as anyone else' and ran as fast as I could and suprisingly I reached our goal before him. My running time has improved 3 seconds since last year. So, has anything like this ever happened to you?

Yeppers.
When I procrastinated on a project, I nearly died from frustration, constantly putting myself down beacause I just knew I was going to fail. I then got straight onto the computer, then began typing my report out of memory. I ended up producing a twelve-page report on Auschwitz. oO;;; I got an A for effort! XD |
All of the time. At least one thing a month, if not more. This month I didn't know I could juggle, and I did.
|
Yeah, happened plenty of times. The first story I can recall...ah, that must be the time when I had completely forgotten about an assignment in English which we had been given over the summer vacation. Basically, we had to take this novell that we read and analyze parts of it (Each of us were given our own) and of course mine was one that concerned symbolism, and of course it was first...
I improvised an answer of about 5 minutes on that single question and got commended for having good points. XD |
Yeah, a quite a bit. I'm normally really lazy and quite cynical, so I never tihnk I can do things well... but I do!
Like... last year, me and my dog Harvey completed the obedience trials in my county (americans - think 'state', but a lot smaller) with nearly full marks, and we came second! Whoo! We lost marks because he knocked over a hay bale... ¬¬; It was a big achievement for me (and him, of course) because he was around eight months old, quite a bit younger than the others, and I had only been training him seriously for five weeks. That was the proudest moment of my life! Harvey's my own dog, and I put my heart and soul into training and grooming him x3 This summer, we took our end of year exams... I got third in Science my my entire year, that was pretty good... Oh! I also got an almost full pokedex on Leaf Green! The only thing I don't have is a Charmander and a Charmeleon xP |
When I beat my younger brother at Tetris. He had the highest score, but I just beat it today. Really crazy.
|
I go through that quite often. It's mainly because I procrastinate when doing my work, often leaving me with less than 10 minutes to complete something that probably would've taken hours to do.
I've also been able to pull off some really crazy stuff...I actually got people to believe I was a girl (o_0) but that's a story I don't feel like telling... |
Yep... tch, somehow, some way, I met another pkmn Draconizer. Oo; *waves Dragon flaggy*
|
I think so. I'm a procrastinator too, so I wonder how in the world I get As and Bs on projects that I did with a very little amount of time.
Like this one leaf collection. I couldn't find most of the leaves. I turned in half of my collection late and still got a B. And I aced that class too. @[email protected]; And sometimes, I wonder how I'm getting an A in AP US History. |
Once in a few I can do something I never expected....like winning a race....<.<
|
It happens to me pretty often, last week in football practice we had to run 40 yard sprints and I got first in my group with a 5 second time even and I thought I was going to be last. Most of the time it happens when I am judged for it like a timed lap or an essay, I get all nervous and my heart is pounding but I always pull it off.
|
Most of the stuff I do is in video games. Like on Buu's Fury when I think I'm about to lose I always meet my mark.
|
Yes, everytime I sprite or do something pixel-art related. And one time my mother showed me a painting that looked like something my grandmother (artist) did. Then she said that I did it at my first ever art class. Now that painting is hanging on my wall. I'm still astonished how good I did.
It also surprises me when I can read some stuff on Pokesho effortlessly without even thinking "Well now, what does THAT mean? It resembles the water kanji...." Pokesho's a Japanese Pokemon site, best one ever fyi But when I do pixel art, I surprise myself EVERY SINGLE time. I think it's when I eliminate the ugly black lineart that it happens. |
Usually happens to me when I'm too lazy to study for a test and I end up doing really well on it, projects too which I always procrastinate on.
|
It happens sometimes...like one time we had to sprint in Athelitics period because they were playing around too much, and I got REALLY tired. And on the last one I outran myself and was 5th to the other side of the football feild( which is good because we got a lot of blacks(not tryin' to be racist) and they are freaking fast!).
I don't study for tests either, not even French and I'm making an A! XD |
Every single week... I get around 300 pages of Math homework every 2 days from my tuition teacher... I somehow pull it off all the time. (Does this count?)
|
Yeah. It happens alot because I procrastinate all the time, but when I do get to doing something I usually pull it off better than I thought I would. oO
|
That's happened to me on game levels when I can't defeat a boss no matter how hard I try but then I come back later & I can do it with ease.
Also when I was 7 & I took my SATs I was considered someone who wasn't academically very smart but I got almost top marks for all of the papers & have been excelling at school ever since. |
Yes. There was the whole PHP programming thing, then the getting tons of posts on PC and finally there was the whole… how did I loose nearly forty pounds!
|
Well,it happens to me all the time,it seemingly has become part of my daily life.Just a week ago,we had a clarinet test(back i didn't know how to play it)so suddenly it seemed to work.In a second confrontation,I was also able to do a perfect martial arts move without having to worry.I'm not sure if it's luck or will,but either way,the pulling things off thing happens quite alot.
|
Many times... things like getting a high mark in my end-of-school results... and winning prizes in music competitions that I wasn't expecting. :P
|
Yeah...Mostly in games or while snowboarding. I have the top time down several race tracks, and I've gotten a perfect score on TONS of freestyle events. And I have no clue how it happened.
|
Yes, o_o; Once, during the summer, I jumped 9'4...(Length, not height...XD)
|
Meh being a slacker just don't bother to do work and study.. So everytime it comes to the exam.. I always enter the examination room unprepared.. Each time, I'm like "Let the paper be easy.." But it won't.. However, when I get meh results back.. I still managed to maintain meh As..
|
That happens...surprisingly often with me, I must admit. XD I just have amazing luck. Like...if I don't do my homework? We always have a supply or it's not checked. Or the teacher will forget to check mine. If I have a project due? I somehow pull off doing a decent job on it when I start at 10 PM the night before. Things like that...they happen almost every time I'm assigned something.
