Great news everyone, a nice relief and happiness

 

Hello everyone, thanks for reading my blog. Right now is the middle of the night between Monday and Tuesday. Earlier this afternoon I got an email admitting me to Mensa.  My test scores qualified me, either from old scores or the admission test I took.  I feel really happy and thankful and am having a nice perspective on my whole life. A lot of people have heard about Mensa and probably have wondered if they could get in.  Well if you thought maybe you could then you might be right.  The test is pretty fun, and possibly you have old test scores that could get you in. It is 98th percentile. That is high but not unheard of.  Like it is within reach for probably people up to 85th percentile if you happen to test well one time.  Do you see what I mean? I mean like you could spike higher than your main level sometimes, and a large range of people could probably get accepted if they want to.

I am hoping to attend a games night on Jan 12 for local Mensa.  I have a game to bring and I might give it away. It is called Dixit. But I don't know, maybe I could keep it too and bring it again on a regular basis.

I feel some healing from this experience because I have felt battered and bullied as a mental health patient. Joining an IQ society feels vindicating and like an escape from persecutors.

Well have a good day everyone, too bad I ate banana chips and chili mango slices because I am allergic to both things. Soon I will take my medicine.  Email me your address if you want a free joke book: smefird@gmail.com. That includes you, whoever is reading this. Happy New Year!

happy new years again

 Well hello everyone, it is Saturday Jan 4.  I haven’t been able to figure out my new years resolutions so I have decided to just try for a hodge podge year. I will continue with last year’s work in comedy, graphic design, and journalism, and I will add in art and illustration. I might also do some volunteer work. 

My sister got me a new frying pan for Christmas and wow, it makes such a difference.  So maybe I will step it up with my chicken dishes this year.  Maybe fish and grits again as well.

Today I will write an onion article about the mensa organization deciding to use candy crush scores instead of standardized tests.  I think it will be funny, I just have to get it done.

Tomorrow I will go downtown to Michaels for a sketch book.  I will get a water color book, some water colors, some markers and pen and ink.  I am sad to not be taking classes but I don’t have the money. I think it is okay. I really needed to pay off the credit cards.

I think I will keep sending off joke books because that felt good yesterday when I mailed two books.  I have about twelve books to give away soon.

What do you guys think about me trying to be an artist this year. Well I don’t know but I think some kind of goal is good. I should do the surrealism project too.

happy new year everyone

 Hello everyone. I am writing this post in a “write-in” session with a group called 540. It reminds me of my old writing group from Greenville, SC.

I had a nice day today and people at my mental health program were extra nice and said Happy New Year a lot.  It was fun and made me thankful.

I just cleaned my apartment for inspection. I am kind of on a roll with that and do well every time.  I think some of it is because I have a good case manager named Karla.

Way to go Karla. Karla is interested in social work school. Please someone sponsor her.

Next on the list of things to mention is that I need to write up some New Years goals.  Last year went really well.

What should I work on this year? I really don’t know.

I think I need to spend another few days deciding what my goals should be. I am also going to order some more joke books to give away.

Well, that is all. I am going to a conference on Jan 17 and I will try to get rid of a demon that I found in my soul during a seizure yesterday.

Ravneet do you want to go to the conference with me. I hope you can, well have a good day.
