Bonjour.
Well I have just been persuaded to take a dodgy IQ test by Tori, I panicked did i honestly want her to know how un-educated I really am?
I try to appear a little more intelligent than your average "Jon Doe" dunno why, I have a deep dislike of the way the press and Southerns label the Northern people as lacking any signifcant intelligence.
I was terrible at school my better subjects were Physics and Home Ecomonics (hence the Chefing), I almost earned a O level in Physics, In hindsight i should have followed that path as a career, but we all make the wrong decisions sometimes.
Stormy in the North, Karma in the South.
I probably was a late developer, as I found my time at colledge studying Cookery very fulfilling, after four years of contemplation, I eventually realised what a pleasure studying was !
Ever since my "Tom Browns" I have been striving to make myself a more knowlegeable person, my problem being I try too hard and i won't stay with one subject, I want to know and I want to know now !
Knowledge is dangerous !
As i pen these journal entries i am sat with a Dictionary and a Thesaurus (yes i know how to say it tori)and my computer desk is covered in notes on Books,Elvish and English, its not the kind of thing i want everyone to know, but hey at least I'm trying.
Writing a Journal is something I have wanted to do for a long time now, i tried writing Diaries but never kept up with them, always too busy doing something else,
When I started reading Tori's journal, I suddenly realised that this was the thing for me, a place where i can empty my head of 34 years of shit, the human brain is a wonderful, complex thing but like a hero of mine once said "its like a computer, gets full of shit and if you don't clean it out from time to time it will break down"
plus it will improve my spelling and expand my knowledge of words therefore making me a better man as well.
So this is it, my little oasis of self learning in my mixed up world, its great I love it!!!
I can be me for once in my small insignificant life, I can release all my feelings without the worry of trying to impress anyone, I always write my entrys as if nobody will read them, (its embarrassing when people actually do)Anything else wouldn't be true to me i feel, I would be lying to myself, and that is not the point to it !!!
"I feel the words I just can't write them down" (BJ)
Does anyone else feel that you need to be comfortable with yourself before you can be comfortable with another person?
I want to say a massive thank you to Tori for inspiring me to actually sit down and write all this crap, I love people who inspire/teach me, and NEVER forget those who make my life richer.
Damn it I could sit here all night, spouting rubbish, its really quite addictive don't you think. Im running out of funny things to break up all the deep meaning full stuff now.
So here is a little quote i found on Afterdawn.com the other night.
Reality is for people that can't face Science Fiction.
Yeah ok its not a classic, but its true, i believe that you need a certain amount of intelligence to be able to enjoy Sci-Fi and Fantasy, where as any brainless idiot can watch Big Brother, and if you enjoy Big Brother then sorry but its my opinion !
Keep the faith.
As for the IQ test, well I achieved a score of 116, not exactly brilliant but "above average" at which i am happy with, as at school i was always just average, so at least I have made some improvement in the last 18 years, damn it thats almost a flamin life time, i should be Einstein by now.
I bet you folks out there in netty land, think im rather boring and not funny at all, maybe true, but i do have my moments promise !
Well i think thats enough boredom for tonight.
