If you want to throw your achievements around, let me toss mine up.
At 7 years old, my mother took me to this place (didnt remember the name, too young to care). They gave me a bunch of odd tests... questions, colored blocks I had to make all sorts of shapes with in a certain time limit, puzzles, whatever. They came back and told my mom that I had an IQ of 161. My godmother still has those results (my mom died shortly after).
I am what used to be defined as "gifted". I have old papers my parents stored away along with scholarship and honor roll certificates. Things like "Parenting Gifted Children - The Fun and Frustrations."
I hated school. Same boring mundane shit over and over. I stayed in for two years of high school just to complete their electronics course at the technical center. After that I planned to drop out. I passed both years at the top of my class.
I delved deep into the dark side of computers from there. Caused a lot of trouble. Got a visit from the FBI at 5AM once. Pissed my roomie off BAD. My entire area code was flagged for monitoring of phone calls and teleconferenecs because of what we did. I got a job at a small firm for a while because the guy who headed it was a former security guru for a federal department. He knew who I was. The name "Sabz5150" has been seen and heard throughout many parts of the world.
Got my GED in 96. Finished it in under an hour. It placed me in the top 8th percentile of the country. Got that paperwork somewhere too.
College was boring. I mostly took computer courses, a few other courses here and there. I slept through them and got A's. A boring waste of my time.
I decided to take my SAT (was told it would give me a bit of a pay bump at my job. I was a techie.). Took the thing a week after paying for it. No studying. I can't study, I hate it.
1280.
Got my damn pay bump
Things come easy to me. I am a jack of all trades, master of some. My choice reading material includes "The Elegant Universe" and "Schrodinger's Kittens". I understand things like quantum mechanics and why under normal circumstances you cannot travel faster than light (although it is not impossible).
Although I know I will get several cookie.jpg's, I just wanted to point out that I am pretty far from stupid and just repeating what my parents say. I don't like being dismissed as stupid due to my political views.
Let the cookie.jpg flood begin
