It’s been a
while since I wrote anything on this blog. Plenty has happened, most of which I
won’t mention, but there are a few things worthy of notice.
Firstly, we
won States (by oh such a narrow margin!) and we are headed to Nationals! I’ve
picked up a few events along the way, and…I haven’t exactly studied for one of
them. Oops. Another one of my events has got
to be the most irritating event ever. Maybe it’s because I can’t build and—oh
yeah—I’m being forced to build. That may be a slight issue. I don’t think I’ve
had this many Science Olympiad related injuries since…well, since ever. I have
six events for Nats, and three of them are builds. Isn’t that just genius?
And then,
of course, I managed to find my mental twin (hereafter referred to as James).
Not my quantum twin, mind—I already have one of those—but someone who is so
identical to me mentally that we might as well be the same person in two
different places. (Also, it would be quite weird if we called each other twins,
because, well…you can deduce for yourself. And if you can’t, you’ll figure it
out soon enough.)
Our similarities begin with having
the same IQ score. While usually this isn’t too momentous, both of us happen to
have a truly ridiculous IQ score that literally indicates we are smarter than
99.986% of humans. Randomly finding someone else with the exact same score is highly unlikely and very unusual, especially
considering age. Past that, we are interested in exactly the same things,
though I am a bit more into music than him. Of course, there are many more
similarities, but I won’t mention them here for sake of privacy and respect.
It’s quite startling to have
someone so the same as me. He answers
my questions before I ask them, I know exactly what he’s thinking most of the
time given context. There have been several instances when we have literally
asked and answered questions at the same time. It’s like our brains are so in
sync that we both know exactly how the world is viewed through the other
person’s eyes. I’ve honestly never experienced anything as completely
offputting as someone who views the world the same way I do, someone who is so
identical to me that they understand
what the world looks like to me.
I suppose that’s all that’s worth
mentioning. Till next time, then.
