My history I.Q. is extremely low.

Throughout most of grade school, I considered human history to be quite boring, and most of what I learned (like a worryingly large proportion of the knowledge I acquire :unsure:) was pushed to the recesses of my memory and forgotten. I don’t think I’ve ever learned the names of all the U.S. presidents, and while I can name all fifty states, I can’t remember all their capitals off the top of my head. (If I were to recite the states, I’d probably need to write their names down as I did so, because my short-term memory is so awful that when I list things, I often forget which ones I’ve already used as the list grows longer.

)

I do well in about every subject with the exception of mathematics. If it's any harder than geometry, I'm screwed

. I could barely understand geometry. To me, more advanced math is like someone speaking to me in Russian

Geometry is SO much easier for me then other types of math.

And when I laugh...I can laugh for LONG periods of time, to the point where I'm out of breath.

I can remember long lists of useless things, like corporations and city names in odd places, but strangely can never seem to remember ones in Africa.

I can do all kinds of stupid laughs: SpongeBob, Patrick Star, psychotic, haunted house ghost, drunken fat dude...to name a few

.

I also know how to do a dolphin's "laugh", Goofy's "Yuh-huck!", Mickey's "Oh, boy!", Woody Woodpecker, Goofy's cry whenever he gets launched (Yaaaaaaaaaaaahoohoohoohoohoooooooo!

), Tom & Jerry's Tom Cat's yell of pain, SpongeBob's snail Gary's "Meow", and Roadrunner's "Meep Meep!".

I know how to make a lot of crude sounds and other sound effects, including the whistle sound that goes with Wiley Coyote whenever he falls off a cliff

.

I also sound exactly like Bugs Bunny in the episode where he yells to Elmer Fudd, "TURN OUT THAT LIGHT!" I have that line perfected

.

I know, I know. Get a life, right

?

My callsign for my computer science class at my community college is a reference to Darwin's Soldiers.

The story behind this: grades are posted online and due to a quirk of the system, all students can see each others grades. To protect the privacy of his students, the professor allowed students to create a callsign that would be used in place of names in the program.

I like the original planet of the apes better than remake.

I have a strong tendancy to develop writer's block. So far, I have two game design documents, two fanfiction universes, one TV script, five new potential comic book heroes, and multiple potential professional food articles I have not finished.

Pangaea · **Reply #1216 on:** January 31, 2010, 06:36:48 AM

^ Ugh...sounds exactly like me!

One major problem I constantly encounter while writing is that I have an idea or concept that I want to get across, but can't find the word or words to express it. (Would that be considered Writer's Block, or something altogether different?

) It doesn't help that I'm a procrastinator as well.

I've got a book series, a LBT fanfic, a list of extinct animals, and a number of GOF posts saved on Word documents (including one that I started writing before I even posted my introduction on the forum

) that are nowhere near finished.

Sometimes I feel like a foreigner trying to speak my OWN native language.

I also have wondered if I was mild retarded and I was just a stupid person in general.

Not sure if anybody remembers, but at the beginning of the New Year, I shared a tidbit about my fingernails, stating that I suspected them to grow relatively fast, but wasn't sure exactly how fast. (My estimate was 1/8 of an inchóor 3.33 millimetersóper month.) I promised to cut my nails and record how long they grew by February. Well, the results are in.

Turns out my pinky nails grew about 2 millimeters, my index nails about 2 1/2 millimeters, and the rest around 3 millimeters or marginally less. (There was some slight variation between hands, which may be attributable to natural wear and tear on the nails.) So it turns out that, for at least some of my nails, my initial estimate was pretty close. Unfortunately, having done some research, I've also found out that 3 mm per month is the average growth rate for human fingernails. So my nails don't grow unusually fast after all. Oh well.

(Yeah, this has got to be about the most boring entry I've ever posted in this thread.

Well, whaddaya expect from a weirdo?

)

On a side note, my 1,100th post!

I wish that I could have a pet fox of my own, as I find them to be oh so cute.
