being a multiple Spelling Bee/Spellbowl champion and a whizbang essay writer
according to most of my teachers and peers. I'm also told that I talk like a
dictionary, though this is more of a consequence of education than anything.
My life consists of words and music. And games.)

bathroom, order food, and avoid direct conversation, but that's about it...
in short, I can go on a successful blind date in Korea or Germany)

actually, but I can tear apart and put back together just about anything...
hopefully this will apply when I start taking apart and putting back

zero in and concentrate on things, often ignoring outside details), In the
hole Level 2 (I'm accruing interest on my loan debt as we speak), Mild
Allegy, Unknown (This scares me. I'm allergic to something and I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS), Amnesia Level 1 (This is a consequence of Med School)

Pharm Student, Level 2 (my bro)
Law Student, Level 1 (would be higher, but he lives across the country,
making availability an issue)
Freelance Computer Tech, Level 2

marrage in the near future... he has yet to propose, but I smell it coming)
Computer Game Designer, Level 1 (works at LucasArts)
Military Intelligence, Army, Level 1 (a friend who is in Germany right
now... the stories he tells me...)
University Choral Director, Level 1 (a nice contact for musical matters and
free tickets to concerts and shows)
University President, Level 1 (it's good to know people... sadly, this
didn't help me get into med school, seeing as I'm in a school other than my
undergrad university)
Various Doctors: Street, Legit, or otherwise.
Gang: Medical students (my homeys)
As far as the intelligence question, I'd have to go with two stances: 1)
That IQ tests only test abstract reasoning and certain kinds of clever
pattern matching, which is a good gauge of SOME kinds of intelligence.
People who take IQ tests tend to either have really high IQs or really low
IQs (formal testing to place students into "special education" classes). AND
2) That Roleplayers in general, especially ones with computer savvy, tend to
have a higher intelligence than the general population. Think of it this
way: The average person has an Intelligence of 3. Average people can also
barely wade his/herself around the Internet using a browser, and MAYBE they
can play a couple of games on their computer, but they wouldn't have the
faintest idea of how to use telnet or EMACs or even a simple DOS/UNIX
prompt. Also, Shadowrun, in general, is a difficult game to learn compared
to many other systems.
