| Another sci-fi lover here, but I haven't read a wide scope of authors--a plurality of my sci-fi books have been by Stephen Baxter and/or Clarke. While delving into the fantasy/sci-fi realm, I have also found Tad Williams's Otherland series quite enjoyable. I also read Sleator's books when I was youn... |

I do it probably 1-2 times per day, on average. Past that seems obsessive (and I get sore).
My preference is not to masturbate as many times as possible, but as long as possible. I can't always do it, but when I'm in the right mood, I can go maybe 1-2 hours. |

You name it, I've procrastinated on it. Wish I had more self-control in this area... |

| I am definitely obsessed with maps--in fact, two of my major hobbies are directly involved with them! I love playing on Google Earth for hours when I get the chance (though in a sadistic ironic twist, my laptop's graphics card causes GE to crash the system), and love atlases as well. I can name virt... |

Guess which one I got the 5 on :? The lack of viable and numerous AP courses is just one of many, many issues I have with my hig... |

| The schoolwide test I took in 3rd grade put my IQ at something like 155...later (online) tests probably created by clandestine Scientologists put it at around the high 120s. One of these years, maybe I'll get around to joining Mensa. |
