Seamyst @seamyst.northsky.social · 16/10/2026My parents didn't tell me my IQ score until I was in college, because they didn't want me to get an inflated ego or tease other kids about it or something. Mom did tell me what it was when I was like 22, but 20 years on and I can remember only that it was around something. No idea the exact number. 140 4
Seamyst @seamyst.northsky.social · 09/10/2026Due to delays, I once deplaned convinced I'd missed my connecting flight (the last of the day to my tiny regional airport). I got into the terminal and the attendant at the other gate yelled, "Are you [Seamyst]?" I said yes, and she yelled, "RUN!" So I did, and made the flight they held for me. 020 2
