Being number one among your Japanese friends
Here’s a fun survey from goo Ranking that I’d love to hear everyone else’s input on! The looked at what people secretly think they are number one for amongst their friends. Sadly there wasn’t a male/female split!
Demographics
Between the 24th and 26th of September 2008 1,044 members of the goo Research online monitor panel completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.6% of the sample were male, 5.8% in their teens, 12.7% in their twenties, 32.3% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 12.3% in their fifties, and 9.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
Apart from obviously being the most handsome amongst my fellow gaijin bloggers, I secretly believe that I put the most effort per post into my blogs compared to you lot of slackers who just slap up a few videos from YouTube mixed in with a bit of Engrish and… Oops, I just remembered that the survey isn’t “Why are your friends all useless?” 
What’s your secret boast? Don’t worry, I won’t tell.
(I also didn’t repeat my previous mistake when translating number 3 here)
