SapphireStar told me about this place.

I don't think everyone is lying, but I don't think everyone has been honest either. What is your point? Any discussion on the internet about anything is far more beneficial to the reader if the people taking part in the discussion are being truthful about themselves. I know the internet is...

I had already said that IQ is not an accurate measurement of intelligence. It may be deemed as an intelligence test, but there is actually no definite way of measuring intelligence. Therefore, questioning somebody's IQ score is not questioning their intelligence.

You do realise that I said that in jest? I'm not being aggressive, there's no reason why you should be. And at what point did I question people's intelligence? I questioned their IQ score.

You're just jealous of my Snake score. ;) Does anyone play Brain Training or Brain Academy on the DS? Brain Academy is incredibly difficult! I got the brain age of 20 after only a few tries on Brain Training (it's far too easy and repetitive), but I am still stuggling on the Academy. I...

Cynicism tends to be reality, I'm afraid. I would have preferred a more accurate array of answers. It would have made the topic a bit more interesting and satisfying. I didn't say what I said in the hope of painting a better picture of myself, it was written in the hope that the following...

Does everyone actually believe the scores of everyone else? In real life, I only know three people with an IQ of over 130, and yet almost everyone here scores higher than this. IQ is hardly an all round way of measuring intelligence anyway. It's a test designed by white male Americans for...

Wow, you are all so intelligent! Considering the average is 100, this board seems to be full of geniuses! Or liars.

I know how you feel. I think I had something like 4850 for Snake. :(

www.last.fm/user/CareALotsClouds/ Don't worry, no one has ever heard of my top 50, no reason why you should too. :)

I have read them and have often thought that they would make fantastic films. I do not think that they are the best ever written. They are extremely violent (for my tastes) and the plot is not amazing. I did enjoy the series a lot though, but I think I prefer his new series (Shadowfall and...

No, it will stay as Nicola forever more. :)

Dan Brown is a terrible writer. He is controversial not just for the content of his books, but controversial for being a best-seller when he writes like a fourteen year old. I read this book because of the hype and was bitterly disappointed. It read like a film script. Chapters were...

We have this thread over at FFI. Just write a review for any books you have read, they have to be somewhat decent in length, and please give it a score. Reviews written so far: Wilkie Collins - Basil Nicola Wilkie Collins - Armadale Nicola Samuel Richardson - Pamela, Or Virture Rewarded...

Recently completed in the past week: Sons and Lovers - D. H. Lawrence Brave New World - Aldous Huxley (again) Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens Basil - Wilkie Collins (again) Currently reading: 1984 - George Orwell (again) The Ultimates: Volume 1 - Super-Human (gah, it's a horrible, horrible...

I'm sorry, I know I have only just joined, but I had trouble registering as no names worked at the time (I sent an e-mail out to the administrator about it). I really wanted my name to be Nicola if that name is available?

Well, it's quite a small community these days. It's quite political and polluted with elitism there (~SS~ will vouch for that) and very difficult for new members to fit in, which is something I really dislike about FFI. This place seems friendly, open and active - a nice change of atmosphere...

FFI = Final Fantasy Insider It's where I met ~SS~. :)

Thank you. :) I see this place has an arcade... I went straight to the Snake game. :D Lauren, you better come in here and welcome me, girly!

What kinds of books do you usually read? I adore Victorian Sensation novels, and any 'classic' between 1790-1900. My second choice would be fantasy fiction. How do you decide which books to read? I usually have some prior knowledge of a book before I read. It's very rare that I randomly...
