What I regret is probably not taking my time at Nationals (chess) last year. I was winning my game and blew it. Ended up with a draw but slipped down to 7th or 8th place. If I would've taken my time I probably would've won and gotten 2nd or 3rd. What I'm most proud of though is probably getting 7th or 8th at Nationals, got a nice, big, dandy trophie 🙂. *Side Regret* That the doctor didn't catch something I have and has kept screwing me over the last 7 years. I find doctors annoying now 😠.

Nice topic idea. I'm only eighteen years old, mind you, soooo....
Biggest regret: Not having enough confidence to ask out this girl Kristina I knew as a sophomore in high school. No girlfriend I've had since then has been able to avoid being compared to that girl in my mind... meh.
Most proud of: .............Ummmmm.......... Well, I think I'm most proud with my unrelenting ambition at my goals up to this point. You don't get somewhere without working your way up from nowhere first, and just having the right state-of-mind is the first step towards any progress...... That works, yeah, k then. 🙂

[Query] What do I regret most?
[Statement] Not being able to give the one thing my family wanted out of me, and being powerless to prevent such a fate based upon the limitations of my very meatbagish, mortal, and cell filled components.
[Query] What I'm I most proud of?
[Observation] I have nothing to be proud of.
[Philosophy] I would be most proud if I could simply make a lot of money. Yes, unorginal, I know, but in this world of simple homo-sapiens, the more money you make, the more power you have, and the more power you have, the more victory is possible, and when victory is possible, influence and leadership is possible, thus being able to help the planet and all it's little people is too, and that is to be free and happy! But massive wealth is a rather uncomfortable first step, a step of necessary evil it seems to be given a chance to create greater good and joy!
[Statement] Read my profile, it says it all.

I regret not spending more time with my father and my brother before they died.
I am most happy about finding Alex. Out of all the people in the world I found him and we are soul mates.
"I regret never learning to swim until I was a teenager and I have still never learned to skate. 🙁"
I can do both of those things actually, trust me, it's overated, you're not missing much. I suppose it's nice to be able to skate and swim, but other then a few hobbies and fitness, it doesn't add much to one's quality of life.
"I am most proud of making it through University and being where I am today all on my own without anybody's money or help."
Bingo! That's the only thing my parents wanted off of me, but it was like telling me to jump to the moon, and I couldnt give it to them because I'm such a lousy student and simply not university material. Since then my parents have hated me for life, they have always hated me for not being good at school. I never got into trouble or did anything wrong, but with my parents, they would rather prefer a criminal good at school then a son terrible at school. As consequence of that, I am in the mess I am now, poor, unaccepted, no future "until" (really never) I get more school.
In our capitalist society, there are really only a few important must have things/talents you must have to build a life upon, being good at memorization/school is definately one of them, especially in year 2005 and especially when young. The rest is just added bonuses that really don't mean much of anything. If you are not good at school, then really, there's no point of continuing to breathe because nothing will fall into place. Be thankful you'll inevitably get the chance to learn to swim or skate someday with a big budget that will allow you to pay top of the line lessons to do so, and it will be relatively stress free and easy compared to myself when I first learned them.

My proudest moment was when I thought to throw a rug over it.
That was 3 years ago.
In a fit of drunken rage I once smashed a roomates bike into small pieces and then energetically helped him find the b@$tard responsbile for it the next day. I even comfroted him as he literally cried over the pitifully twisted wreckage. I'm not sure if this should be a proud moment or not...
