I feel like I know so much more about you after reading this list.

How did you join Mensa? (I find it ironic that Mensa means dummy in Spanish)

Sassy....
I'm glad you feel that you know me better now. Of course, I could have gone on & on. I guess 200 things about me would have achievable!

It's funny that Mensa means dummy in Spanish. Actually, the word is Latin; it means table. There's a long story about why "table," but suffice to say, it has to do with the intention of Mensa founders wanting an organization where people of high IQ's could gather "around a table" and discuss things... free of political agendas, or racial stress, etc.

In order to belong to Mensa, you need to take one of their approved tests, and score in the top 2% of the general population. That's it. There are no other age, or income, or other requirements. Just score in the top 2%.

Some people who belong to Mensa have IQ's higher than mine, others have IQ's lower than mine, but all members are in the top 2% of the general population. (How they determine WHAT the general population's IQ is, is quite frankly, beyond me.)

Anonymous,

I ended the friendship with the lesbian because I was too uncomfortable knowing that she had romantic feelings for me, and I knew I'd never reciprocate. I couldn't just "hang out" with her any more.

The 5 instruments I play are; guitar, bass, banjo, steel pedal guitar, and keyboards.

52. I have traveled to every state in the U.S. except Alaska, Idaho, & Nebraska

i've been to nebraska. the state motto: "nebraska; bring something to do".

"The 5 instruments I play are; guitar, bass, banjo, steel pedal guitar, and keyboards."

i think i may have been you, and you me, in a previous life. i also play (or used to - i always say that i used to be a musician, but now i'm just an instrument owner) guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and the recorder. all my life, i've had this compulsion to play steel pedal guitar - now i know why.

54. I love to ride my motorcycle, but everytime I get on it, I wonder if that's the day I'll die on it.

i think that i'll either die on a motocycle, or in a plane crash - either way, i know that i'll die in fire. i think i'd rather die on a motorcycle - it's closer to the ground, and carries much less fuel. and besides, they are so much more fun to ride than a plane. and so far, it's the only activity i've found that's actually better than sex.

87. I love Nashville, TN

this was my second choice of places to live, after phoenix, az, where i am now.

you know, if we actually meet, it might set off some kind of matter/anti-matter annihilation thing. perhaps that's the fire i see in my own death.
