What are you justifiably arrogant about?

---

Not your kids, or your partner, or your friends... YOU. Come on, let me see you strut!

My skill with words, and more importantly, how they effect people.
The positive and negative induces. I know how to use them, almost innately.
Like Robert Heinlein said...

... Used correctly, they are heap big magic.

My photography, I guess.

I'll give you two, I'm feeling arrogant today:

I'm a damn good therapist and I make natural products that are to die for.

Also I have amazing hair.

I have a little bit of the gift of tongues and I pick up foreign languages easily enough. :3

2 things:

I can dance... No, really, I can. Really well. I took a year of jazz (fun but not as fun as horses) and a year of ballet (booooring) as a child. Other than that, I've never taken classes. But, I sure look like I have.

My brain - it's a great brain.

[smwright.livejournal.com]

It is a phenomenal brain. :)

[jovi-diva.livejournal.com]

I can sing really well!
OH...and my hair rocks!! :D

[glowy-lovers.livejournal.com]

My medical knowledge and how much people can bullshit thinking that people are ignorant of what they are saying ...........

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

I almost always put my shoes on the correct feet!! Everyone's gotta have something to smile about:)

[sabatoa.livejournal.com]

I'm a good lay. heh.

[babystar620.livejournal.com]

I require proof.

*hides*

[smwright.livejournal.com]

I have to go with Kez. My brain, which leads to the only things about which I am consistently arrogant about (my education, my job, etc.).

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

Justifiably so!

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

That I can curl just about anyone around my pinky. I only have a few more years being able to do this!

Honestly

[elysiankitten.livejournal.com]

My looks, lately. I've worked my ASS off to get to this size, and people are showering me with compliments.

Men aren't helping.

[elysiankitten.livejournal.com]

Damn computer!!! I was going to think hard before posting this! Argh. It posted for me. Hate this new keyboard.

[editgrrl.livejournal.com]

My skills as an editor and technical writer. (Like you couldn't tell that from my work-related entries *g*.)

I am also a kick ass dog mom. :)

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

You do indeed. ;)

Come to think of it, I'm a pretty kickass cat mom... ;)

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

"justifiably arrogant"...?

*thinks*

Quilting and historical costuming. I've worked very hard to get my skills at the level they're at. It's kinda weird to know that people are using me as a resource for background info and for suggestions/ideas as to how to go about creating their own.

[writer-lilies.livejournal.com]

The fact that I'm not actually arrogant. ;)

[f-l-i-r-t.livejournal.com]

my work ethic and strength of character, I stick to my beliefs no matter how much they don't gel with the outside world. and I feel and believe my beliefs and ethics are moral and strong.

[kathyrene.livejournal.com]

That I'm blessed with boundless amounts of energy and stamina!

[popfiend.livejournal.com]

I'm a good person.

I love freely.

I share openly.

I am honest.

I am fun.

And I operate without malice.

None of this is automatic, it takes work because sometimes the alternative is easier. But the effort is always there.

And I am proud of that effort.

And I hope the effort shows.

[chandos.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't use the word arrogant, but I'm pretty proud of my ability to see a situation from various persons perspectives.

[gillian16.livejournal.com]

My impenetrable will and spirit.

Oh yeah, and my dirty mind and sense of humor. :o)

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Division by zero. No one else gives a damn about it, but I do, and what's more is that I can find no fault with my ideas about it.

[mac-arthur-park.livejournal.com]

My hair...although that is more vanity, so let's try again.

I have gotten knocked down in life. A lot. And am still a very positive, upbeat person. I really shouldn't like people, let alone men, and yet I still give my heart and life and openness freely.

Also, I make kickass gingersnaps. :)

[bangdrum.livejournal.com]

See icon. Another vote for the brain. It's sort of half justifiably arrogant that I could read when I was 2 and do fractions before I was 4 and memorize whole series of random numbers from the calculator BACKWARDS before I could be trusted to reliably not pee in my pants, and half extreme annoyance that this doesn't make any difference to people who believe in the "work ethic" as the only oute to success.

On the other side of things, I am 100% NOT arrogant about how unbelievably lazy I am...

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

I am extremely multi-talented and multifaceted. And if I am interested in something, and you give me an instruction manual for it, I will learn it. If I enjoy the topic enough, I have the ability to master it - be it living languages, dead languages, music, history, literature, art in a variety of mediums, science, philosophy - even arithmetic, gods forbid... it's endless. And the more I absorb and learn, the more potent and useful my intellect becomes. It's like honing a sword edge over a whet stone.

Every day I'm a little smarter than I was the day before. It's a good feeling, especially for someone who once absolutely believed he had the IQ of a turnip.
