The probability of this happening is simultaneously Through the Roof and Bananas: Find that ocarina you bought ages ago and never learned how to play.

Music Calms the Savage Beast: Start learning how to play the Ocarina.

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS???: Start by learning the Song of Storms. Right after I started, it begins to rain, and is getting progressively worse as I play more.

I entered a contest for Kickstarter... yes this a shameless plug, but to make it less shameless, I'm not going to say which entry into the contest is mine http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...boggy-fog-gnoo It's a pretty neat children's book. Has a real Jabberwocky feel. so either way check it out.

I decided to google my username a little bit ago.
I found this.
I logged into Gaia for the first time in over a year to comment on it. I don't know if it really qualifies as an achievement, something like this, but uh...
it's definitely something.

Same. I'm not even sure how it's an accomplishment because I was never actually trying to do anything but it's still really cool!

[Bohandas]

1.) Got an actual paying (part time) job

2.) Entered the April Fools Day "Bad Rule 34 Fanfiction Writing Contest" on SoFurry

EDIT: Should I not have shared that second one? I've got, like, no filter.

[NemracAngel]

I remembered I had an account here.

Also, I turned into a super genius in Math to make up for this awful grade I got. It was 43%...

[lackadaisicalInsomniac]

3. explained the fabric of the time-space continuum, wormholes, and time travel at age 9

One of the courses I have this last year in the uni is "Contemporary History" which is awesome and the professor is really good at explaining and connecting everything together. I recently did a test (from the first Industrial Revolution to WWI) and passed it. I had been told by the people who already had the same profesor in other courses that the test would be very difficult, but it wasn't that hard. Nervertheless, 12 people left the clasroom without even trying to do the test, just read it and they went out. Ironically, the first two that left were the typical "anarchists/communists" with "anarcho-hippy" looks. Way to go! tl;dr Passed a test for which I had to study a lot. Turns out it wasn't that difficult.

I don't know if it counts as an achievement, but I rearranged the books/games in my room and uninstalled ALL the videogames in my laptop. I also stored the N64, the SNES and the PS2, as well as the games. I was wasting too much time sitting my ass in front of the computer. I want (well, as a matter of fact, I'm doing it now) to continue and finish my novels (edit the already written and finish the not-yet-done-but-only-in-my-head novels), continue creating more and more content for my conworld (including, but not only, the conlangs) and do some exercise (go running, take the bike, etc). For me, the internet is nearly done: I've limited it to Homestuck, these forums (as it is the only good forum I've ever been in), Facebook (to chat with my girlfriend) read the last news concerning politics and society, periodically read the tons of webcomics I follow and download music. Oh, and homework I have to hand online.

Sorry for the wall-of-text, but I had to put this in words and I have no better place to do it that these forums.

Today I learned that, if you go into sufficiently complex mathematics, infinity is a hyperreal number and 0.9999... doesn't actually equal one.
Take that, algebra teacher, I was right! Also the rest of my algebra class should take it as well, given that they were all like "dude don't argue with the teacher."
