Memes are like viruses. They want to live. They want to spread. I haven't seen this one here yet, so...
You're supposed to write 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
1. I'm a malcontent, because I know that if someone hadn't chosen a glass that was twice the size it needed to be, the question of "half full" or "half empty" never would have arisen in the first place.
2. I'm working on a musical, but I don't read or write musical notation. Or play an instrument.
3. I read about a dozen webcomics every morning. I set up a webpage with a frame and a dropdown list so that I could hit them all without having to navigate to each one separately.
4. I drove the first car I ever owned off a 300 foot cliff and turned it into tinfoil, while walking away with a little bit of whiplash, a hairline fracture in one elbow, and two torn muscles (and no car).
5. I learned first hand that the hoses on gas pumps detach if you forget to take them out before driving away.
6. I learned that if a U-Haul is only an inch or two too high to go through a carport, it just won't go.
7. Learning to read Hebrew was like breaking teeth for me. I got kicked out of class in Hebrew school repeatedly for acting out, because sitting in the principal's office was much more enjoyable than being forced to stammer out broken Hebrew in front of the whole class.
8. I've invented 2 board games, one of which is being looked at by a game manufacturer at the moment.
9. I've had a short story published in an anthology of mystery stories (the main mystery being why my story, which was not a mystery, was included).
10. Rahm Emanuel is my third cousin. I still wouldn't vote for him, and I'm horrified that he's chief of staff for Obama.
11. I loved the standardized tests we took in school, because they were incredibly easy for me. I hated writing essays because they weren't. To this day, writing anything longer than a grocery list by hand makes me crazy.
12. I remember recurring dreams that I used to have when I was 2 years old. One of them may have been a memory of my birth.
13. I was stillborn. Sort of. They knocked my mother out with ether and pulled me out with forceps (SOP at the time), but they gave her too much ether and had to resuscitate me.
14. I actually enjoyed Gigli.
15. I hated E.T. and almost walked out when the (spoiler warning) bicycle took flight.
16. I've corresponded with Lawrence Block, Orson Scott Card and James P. Hogan.
17. I'm an Objectivist. Not a Rand-worshipping Randroid (though I've run into them online), but I think Ayn Rand's system of philosophy is the best understanding of reality in this life and the best prescription for a free society.
18. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. My vices are more prosaic things like overeating, watching too much TV, and spending far too much time online.
19. I'm extremely lazy. I think it's one of the things that makes me a good programmer.
20. I'm afraid of heights and spiders and being physically immobilized.
21. I get migraines sometimes. No auras, though.
22. Coke, not Pepsi. PC, not Mac. DC, not Marvel. Burger King, not McDonalds (the kosher ones in Israel, of course). Vanilla pudding, not chocolate.
23. I've started numerous blogs. They've all fallen by the wayside. Did I mention that I'm extremely lazy?
24. When there are questions about ancient history in the Orthodox Jewish community, I'm one of the people who is often consulted. Sometimes I'm amazed at the people who've heard of me.
25. My mother is an artist and all my siblings are very artistic. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler.

Heh. Seriously. It's hit LJ as well as FB.
I had the opposite problem; by thing number 17 I was floundering.

You and I both, sister.
For a second there I was going to leave a third comment with my list, but then some sense hit me. Here's my edit: 1. Someone wrote a musical for me once, used me as the name and inspiration for a character, and performed the entire thing for his fiance and I in our (the fiance's and my) living room.
2. I relish any opportunity to roll my eyes that comes along.
3. The label "this girl kills computers" was earned honestly. If it's not gmail kicking me out it's LJ not sending email notifications or our work database taking centuries to load or computers mechanically failing on me. Don't let me touch yours if you can help it.
4. This is a standard random thing: I was born with dark brown hair. Nearly a week later, all of it had fallen out to eventually be replaced by the blonde it is today.
5. Slowly (or not so), I am turning into a tea snob.
6. I'm a little vain about my lips, but more than with those, my hair. *sheepish grin*
7. I am SUPER PUMPED about seeing Andrew Bird tomorrow night! (Note: this list was compiled a few days ago) It's going to be amazing. I cannot wait to be thrilled by the music (Thrills....ha ha...go look up his discography for insight into that)
8. A couple summers ago my family was prepping to travel to Germany and I couldn't find my passport. The last I'd seen it was when it had been used for a college cross-cultural trip to Guatemala and Belize. My mom had to come over and invoke her Super Mom search powers. She found it, after searching for a LONG time, in a box with my childhood seashell collection. We're still a little confused over that.
9. Exactly one year ago I was the photographer for a wedding of a couple at our church. It was the first and the last time I've been asked, but a really fun experience!
10. My dad, due to love and ordinary concern, semi-challenged me to keep a detailed budget, particularly a list of money spent. Happy to report that January, nearly everything has been noted down by hand to eventually analyze. Analysis - end of February.
11. I don't drink much else besides water (as cold beverages go) anymore. Here and there I'll have a soda or a glass of iced tea, but it's water and more water throughout the whole day. I can only say it's been a good move.
12. I get on writer kicks. Currently it's Orson Scott Card (surprise surprise for those of you on this forum), but others in the past have been: Mark Twain, Ray Bradbury, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, Jim Butcher, Frank Peretti, Margaret Atwood, Agatha Christie, Diana Wynne Jones, and I'm sure there are more I'm not recalling at the moment.
13. Don't have an ipod yet, and am holding out. There's just something about holding a CD and its packaging in your hands for easy reference. I don't normally listen to a song here or there. Rather, it'll be an entire album at a time, and desire to look at lyrics or who the song writer or producer is for a track here or there will suddenly overcome me so that I'm pulling out the booklet at red lights and the like. We'll see how long this continues...
14. I kind of miss playing piano. It lives in the music/craft room of the condo now, so I forget about it a lot. In the old house, it was directly on the path between the dining room and kitchen, so I sat down a lot and fiddled. *le sigh*
15. More often than not, I can tell when a front is approaching by the weirdness in my head. Sensitive ears, you know.
16. I stopped using shampoo to wash my hair. Before that totally grosses you out, it does get washed regularly, just with a baking soda/water mix (perhaps with some lavendar oil added). A friend on livejournal went no-poo and I liked the idea. Over a month later, and I'm as happy as could be with the results! My hair (see #6) is the healthiest it's been in ages.
17. This is the definition of random: For work, the word "Identifiers" is used over and over in a particular field we have to complete, and part of me really wants to type Identi-fires (minus the hyphen, though) instead, just to be funny.
18. I love my family and friends, and with that love comes lots of shameless teasing.
19. This winter my parents, brother and I are playing in a 7.0 Mixed Doubles USTA (that's tennis, folks) league. Our particular team hasn't won match (three sets of partners play against the same for the other team, and best of three matches determines the overall winner) yet, but it's our first year together and most of the other teams in the league have been around for awhlie. We're just there to have fun, though having my rating corrected and now set at 3.5 will make the whole experience almost infinately more injoyable than when I was stuck as a 4.0 (there weren't even guys on our team rated as 4.0's, but I had go and be honest when I self-rated and say that I was on my college team).
20. Ate a small dish of vanilla ice cream topped with kahlua last night. No milk or cream, so what else was I to do? It felt warranted since I had to put in some overtime for work late in the evening.
21. If I eat a little single thing of applesauce, I 'drink' it until it's nearly gone and then use the foil lid to scoop out the what remains in the bottom. Why waste a spoon?
22. Can you tell I'm having a hard time coming up with a few more? Okay...um... Until maybe a year or year and a half ago, I really, really didn't like dangly earrings. These days, I prefer them. Oh, and all jewelry = silver (or at least platinum gold because it's not yellow).
23. Getting sick of this one name that keeps coming up for privilege review (quick and not entirely thorough explanation: looking for names of attorneys, etc. that appear on any documents). On the other hand, the name that usually appears with it, I kind of like and, if had to choose another last name, would not be opposed to acquiring. It just sounds cool. I'd share it, but not such a good idea considering confidentiality and all.
24. I do not watch the show 24, but yes, my last name is the same as Jack's. *eyeroll because this is one of those opportunities that can't be passed up*
25. I keep my cats around if only for the laughs at their expense. Oh, and I suppose they're kind of cute and cuddly (kind of like baby moses...long story) with me. Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :

Ok...There is next to no point in being snobby about this survey. The ONLY point of it is to get to know your friends better. Also, it's an interesting challenge to see if you can come up with 25 things that you feel to be uniquely 'you'. It is not 'narcissim' and it is not 'oh, look how funny and clever I am.' I mean it COULD be, if you wanted it to be (and then it would be dumb), but it doesn't HAVE to be. I had a great time reading my friends' notes and writing my own. And for some reason, it seems to be that kind of thing that people love to be snobby about. I wouldn't going on about this if this didn't happen so often, especially related to Internet and Facebook. It's just an innocent time waster, like so many other things. Get down off your high horse! (Not directed at anyone in particular).

Your IQ will go down, if you fail to learn more as you get older. Your Intelligence Quotient is your Intellectual age divided by your actual age, or something like that. As for me, I know I am getting progressively dumber, or maybe just realizing I'm not as smart as I think I am. Honestly though, I feel like my retention of facts, even on subjects interesting to me, is getting worse and worse.

IQ is intelligence quotient and the score is divided by your age. If you don't get any smarter, your IQ will go down.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
Of course, IQ is not so exact a science. I suspect there's simply more variation in intelligence at younger ages due to varying development rates.

Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
IQ measures nothing at all that matters. Read "The Mismeasure of Man" by Stephen Jay Gould. I suspect standardized tests don't measure much of importance either. Everyone in the thread seemed to accept the hypothesis that IQ tests measure intelligence, which is complete arm-waving nonsense, as far as I can tell. I don't know why we've accepted that idea as a society. It shows how the magical word "Science" can be misused by processes in which no real science appears.

Posted by Starsnuffer (Member # 8116) on :
The "your mental age/your current age" is inapplicable as you grow old for the reasons stated. IQ tests are more complex than this. While IQ tests may not measure "intelligence" iirc they are strongly correlated with performance in school, much like ACT and SAT tests.
If anyone actually knows about IQ tests and measures of intelligence let's hear from that person, because with just introductory psychology I know most of the above is hogwash/out of date/etc.
Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :
Second: IQ tests. When I was about 12 I told my previous year's teacher that I had been put in "Honors Math." He told me that was no surprise, because my IQ was 162.
He didn't tell me where he got that number from. When I told my mother, she told me that she had a 152 IQ, so she wasn't surprised.
As a teacher candidate, I studied standardized testing, which included IQ testing. One of the things that they stressed is that most people who "know their IQ score" haven't even been tested for IQ, but that a teacher looked at their standardized test scores, converted the percentile into a z-score, and from that determined what their IQ would be. But it doesn't work that way. But that's the only place my teacher could have gotten the number he gave me, since I had never taken an actual IQ test at that time.
In IQ measurement, 100 is the mean, and one standard deviation is 15. So if you have an IQ of 115, you are one standard deviation above the mean, and therefore, you are in the 84.1345th percentile. 130 is two standard deviations above the mean, or the 97.725th percentile. In order to have an IQ of 162, I would have had to be in the 99.9982th percentile. At that point the signal to noise ratio is much too low, which is why IQ testers normally refer to this as "testing off the scale." The number just doesn't mean anything above a certain point.
I actually was tested for IQ when I was 18, by a psychometrist who had been informed (by me) that my IQ was 162. I scored 127, which is pretty respectable by any account.
But the old "Mental age divided by chronological age" doesn't enter into it anymore. IQ tests are normed for an age group, and unless you suffer some kind of deficit, your IQ shouldn't change much over the years. In Lisa's case, I would guess that the first 2 scores were extracted from normed standardized test scores, not from IQ test scores. 119 is a very respectable score, and since she remembers that the test was administered by a "pshrink" instead of a teacher, it sounds legit. IQ tests are not administered by teachers, they are administered by psychologists.

Read more carefully, Glenn. I said the idea that placentas are made from maternal brain cells is a joke to explain the forgetfulness, not that the forgetfulness isn't real.

That's why I didn't refer to the "placenta thing," only the "memory thing."
