Tomorrow my paid account expires... I'm not updating it. I'm rarely on here anymore... Im keeping it activated because I've had this LJ since 2001. I feel it will be nice to back track and read through my past once in awhile. Its been good to me, but I feel like I can't use it anymore, or for right now. I'm thinking of making a seperate account, but honestly i'm so busy that might not happen for awhile. This doesn't feel like a nice place to express myself anymore, I used to feel like this was an escape from talking to my friends I know in person, to get an outsiders opinion on situations in my life... but it just isn't that way anymore. A lot of you I know in person, and the others normally aren't too interested in my rants. I'm barely on-line anymore b/c I'm always out n about...so I feel it's not fair to keep someone on your LJ who doesnt contribute. I'll miss some of you, and if you keep me as a friend Ill appreciate it, and when I start up a new one i'll try and add you. If you de-friend me its ok too, no hard feelings... thanks for everything. Take care.
Ive been uber busy.... LJ is suffering sorry guys i didnt even go online for like 4 days and before that about 5 days... im just always not home and when i am im still busy or sleepin.... Love y'all still

Mat and I made masks for the Masquerade Party... I will post pics later! We only had like an hour to make them so they arent great lol... but they are cute!
Be happy today, it signifies the rest of the year! So don't be sad, or mopey... and gifts you recieve on this day are supposed to be used within the week... (old irish lore thing) And you should flip a penny over your right shoulder if it lands on heads youll have an increase of money this year, tails youll make more friends.... the less it rolls around before it settles the more likely the outcome. (Romany)
Have a wonderful year and may 2006 bring us all happy times

Top 10 Hated Shows of all time: (why) I dont HATE THAT many shows! 1. Sex in The City (completely unrealistic, and they all look like Zombies) 2. Desperate HouseWives (a bunch of my friends watch this... i just dont get it, its so bad) 3. Xiaolin Showdown (stupid cartoon) 4. American Idol... (its fucking annoying, although the crappy people are funny) I dont hate really any more, I never HATE shows without first giving them a chance, if I have watch 3 or 4 episodes and still dont like it i dont hate it, i have to Abhor a show to hate it, and I usually Abhhor something when a bunch of people love it for no reason i can see

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
The Practical Significance of IQ
The average IQ of the population as a whole is, by definition, 100. IQs range from 0 to above 200, and among children, to above 250. However, about 50% of the population have IQs between 89 and 111, and about 80% of the population have IQs ranging between 80 and 120, with 10% lying below 80, and 10% falling above 120.
For IQs below 120, IQ is the best predictor of socioeconomic status of any psychometric measurement. In more complex jobs, IQ is better than even education or experience at predicting job performance. In her article "The General Intelligence Factor", Scientific American Presents "Exploring Intelligence", pg. 24, 1999, Linda Gottfredson states,
"Adults in the bottom 5% of the IQ distribution (below 75) are very difficult to train and are not competitive for any occupation on the basis of ability. Serious problems in training low-IQ military recruits during World War II led Congress to ban enlistment from the lowest 10% (below 80) of the population, and no civilian occupation in modern economies routinely recruits its workers from that below-80 range. Current military enlistment standards exclude any individual whose IQ is below about 85."
"Persons of average IQ (between 90 and 100) are not competitive for most professional and executive-level work but are easily trained for the bulk of jobs in the American economy. By contrast, individuals in the top 5 percent of the adult population can essentially train themselves, and few occupations are beyond their reach mentally."
"People with IQs between 75 and 90 are 88 times more likely to drop out of high school, seven times more likely to be jailed, and five times more likely as adults to live in poverty than people with IQs between 110 and 125. The 75-to-90 IQ woman is eight times more likely to become a chronic welfare recipient, and four times as likely to bear an illegitimate child than the 110-to-125-IQ woman."
In his book, "Straight Talk About Mental Tests", The Free Press, A Division of the Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1981, pg. 12, Dr. Arthur Jensen cites the following four IQ thresholds:
(1) An IQ of 50 or below. This is the threshold below which most adults cannot cope outside of an institution. They can typically be taught to read at a 3rd or 4th grade level. However, they cannot normally function in the customary classroom setting, and they require special training programs.
(2) An IQ between 50 and 75. At this level of intelligence, they generally cannot complete elementary school. Most adults will need smarter help in coping with the world.
(3) An IQ between 75 and 105. Children in this IQ range are not generally able to complete a college prep course in high school.
(4) An IQ between 105 and 115. May graduate from college but generally, not with grades that would qualify them for graduate school.
(5) An IQ above 115. No restrictions.
For IQs in these ranges, the influence of IQ upon socioeconomic sttus is dramatic. 31% of those with IQs below 75 were on welfare, compared with 8% of those in the 90 to 110 IQ interval, and 0% in those with IQs above 125. 55% of mothers with IQs below 75 went on welfare after the birth of the first child, compared with 12% of those with IQs between 90 and 110, and 1% of those with IQs above 125. Income is highly dependent upon IQ up to an IQ-level of about 125.
