<p>Guilty, as charged. XD</p>
<p>It’s Yalien, not Yalie. Yalien is a far cooler term.</p>
<p>
Dunno if it’s been said before, but it’s nice of you not to say anything about spelling…;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I say to myself, “The correct idiom is ‘based on’ not ‘based off.’ How is it that so many people make such an obvious mistake?”</p>
<p>
A 2390 gets a Presidential Scholar nomination in Ohio?</p>
<p>I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.</p>
<p>I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.</p>
<p>Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When Im bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.</p>
<p>I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.</p>
<p>I dont perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.</p>
<p>I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.</p>
<p>I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.</p>
<p>I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.</p>
<p>But I have not yet gone to college.</p>
<p>To be honest, what’s wrong with some people having inflated egos? Most smart people do, and whoever claims to be humble is really just lying. To go to Harvard for example and to say that you’re no different from anybody else in the world is an obvious lie. In my opinion, it’s the extremely “humble” people that make me angry (ie. “I only got a 2390”).</p>
<p>
I was so sure you were going to end that with “I am the most interesting man in the world. I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it’s Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends”. </p>
<p>Sigh, such a great opportunity squandered.</p>
<p>my ego is probably deflated lol this website totally made me realize that my accomplishments are basically NOTHING</p>
<p>@lucky: And what’s more, you can copy and paste.</p>
<p>My ego inflates when I am around people from my school, but coming on here quickly deflates it.</p>
<p>it’s a difficult talent to master</p>
<p>nah, I think that’s been posted on here before</p>
<p>I try to be humble when I’m taking advanced ed classes at the local college, but it is difficult when people ask you what your plans are after saying, they intend to take 3 more years at a community college taking 2 classes a year because they’re too difficult, so they can hopefully get in to a state school.</p>
<p>When they expect you to answer and you say that you’re plan is currently to do one of the more difficult major at a good university, and are only taking this class that he or she is failing for a humanities requirement not for units.</p>
<p>I just want to tell them that if they just paid attention instead of texting in class, and get a 4.0 they can easily transfer to a good school in 2 years, especially if they did research (but they mostly just want to do gen. ed for the next 3 years).</p>
<p>Anyways, I am usually humble until someone asks what I’m interested in, or what I’ve done or what I’m intending to do in the next 4 years.</p>

<p>
Being on CC inflates my ego. Yeah, I’m that good.</p>
<p>Lol, you need a cars.com commercial or a dos equis commercial.</p>
<p>I dislike when people confuse having a large ego and simply being aware of one’s own awesomeness.</p>
<p>^^^^^
And it just wouldn’t be fair to everyone else if we didn’t let them know about our awesomeness.</p>
<p>I think the people who appear to have an “inflated ego” are actually just insecure. On a certain level, they’re afraid that others look down on them for one reason or another, so they often feel the need to defend their accomplishments. Or they feel inferior to other people in certain aspects that they brag about another aspect of their life to render themselves in a better light. Sometimes the “bragging” is done out of bitterness as much as annoyance. I’m sure if that makes any sense…</p>
<p>^ But what if every aspect of my existence is perfect?</p>
