I really should go to bed now.

[enamoured]

I feel awful. I've chugged like... 40oz. of water, eaten French fries twice today, and I feel like I'm going to pop. Wasn't I supposed to have been on a diet? Or... at least stopping with the 'taters? I swear, after tonight I'm not going near fries for a long, long time.

The weirdest health related thing I've learned about myself recently is that I have an intolerance for eggs. I don't have any other food allergies--I can eat just about anything, besides the things I refuse to eat on principle alone (see: chitlins), but I'm not allergic to foods. But ever since about two years ago, whenever I eat scrambled eggs, I get sick. And this sucks, because I like scrambled eggs and cannot have them.

My mom is allergic to bean sprouts, and that, and my egg intolerance, are the strangest food related allergies I've ever heard of. So, because I'm curious and stuff...

[Poll #700809]

Sometimes I wonder if I come off as obnoxious and/or as a show-off in my literature and government class. I always want to blurt out answers (especially in government and current events, because the professor gives bonus points) and I get really good grades in literature (and half the class thinks it's OMGSOHARD, and it kind of is, but it just requires paying attention to detail and is that really so hard?). I mean, I know I'm pretty smart. But I hate hate hate the suck-uppy, never-ever-shut-their-mouths smart kids and I worry that I'm one of them. I try to justify it by saying I'm just competitive, but I worry that people think I'm annoying. And that maybe I'm trying to, on a subconcious level, prove to myself that I'm smart.

I want to take an IQ test, but I'm worried that my score wouldn't be that high, and that'd I'd merely be average. And honestly? I don't just want to be average. I want to be exceptional. And that's kind of bordering on emo, but it's not bad to want to have some kind of small verification that I'm special, right? [looks around shiftily]

I'm working tomorrow night. And come Friday: Franz and Death Cab! But before I leave for work, I have to do some stuff.

I only eat eggs after I've been sick. My mom says it's how she knows I'm starting to feel better. And they have to be sunny side up, and I only eat the whites.

And let me tell you, this is by far one of the more normal things about my eating habits. There's a reason people don't go out to eat with me.

And hey. If it helps, I think you are beyond exceptional. You are Extraordinarily Fabulous and Awesome. And that's high praise.

IQ doesn't mean jack unless one of your goals in life is to be a part of Mensa.

I would like to take an IQ test too, but the ones online aren't very accurate.

According to them, I'm really really smart.
I know I'm smart, but I doubt that.
Not genius level, but almost.
