in Introduce Yourself
Are you more awesome than you were yesterday? If so, I want to be your friend.

My name is Rebecca and I'm a professional game designer. I like playing and making video games, riding motorcycles, and occasionally blowing things up.

All that said, I'm still not NEARLY as awesome as I want to be: I'm shy, I'm too round and rolly, I haven't made the game of my dreams yet, and my current haircut looks dumb.

I know who I am and I know who I want to be. There's a gap there, and I aim to fix it.

I've decided to make it my mission to become at least a little more awesome every day. For the next year, I'm going to take at least one step every single day to better myself. I'm going to craft a more awesome me.

I'm looking for partners in awesome. For friends and fans and rivals who are also all trying to make their future selves fitter, smarter or funnier.

I think, working together, we can start our own little awesome revolution. That we can help each other become a league of extraordinarily awesome individuals.

So tell me, right now - what have you done today to make yourself a more awesome person? What will you do tomorrow?

    Today I took a last minute trip to another part of the country to see a band I love.

    So yes, naturally.

    Yesterday I taught my niece how to play Carcassonne. Today, I made it to my goal of 45 minutes on the elliptical. Tomorrow, we'll see! I don't like to plan things, it makes me procrastinate.

    I went out to breakfast this morning. Asked for dry wheat toast and lemon in my water. Water arrived with no lemon. Rye toast arrived instead of wheat. I had to ask for the lemon twice and send the replacement buttered wheat toast back for dry. Normally, it's those kinds of things that knock my tip percentage way down...it's just annoying. But today, recognizing that we all have off days, I still tipped 25%.

    OP, I really like your awesome attitude!

    Thanks for the compliment, and good for you for resisting the urge to let a mistake drag you down! I like to think that, since we're all trying to change our bodies for the better, we're too damn busy to sweat the small stuff. :smokin:

    Carcassone is a very awesome game. Kudos on spreading the board game love to the next generation.

    <--- this is what I was doing yesterday, and today I'm recovering from a hangover. So, no. I was more awesome yesterday, unless posting this picture makes me more awesome. Then yes.

    Today I bought some real running shoes from a real running shop. For realz.

    Previous to now, I'd been too skittish to go to a proper running shop. In my mind, running shops were some sort of sacred ground, where only "real runners" ordained by the High Church of Running were allowed to go.

    Needless to say, that's totally not the case. The employees there were super nice, and after getting fitted, I walked out with a great pair of shoes. I was so excited, I went out for a quick run even though it was my rest day. :bigsmile:

    Tomorrow I'm going to try to run a 10 minute mile in my new shoes.

    At some point when you have achieved awesomeness, it is pretty difficult to keep raising the bar, particularly every day.
    Happy to continue to pursue excellence but can't commit to increasing awesome every day going forward and be disappointed about not accomplishing a pretty good standard. If I misunderstood your idea, sorry about that.
