Yet seven more weird things about me
Been tagged by Sparkling Smiles . Sami has made a deal with me that he’d let his tag go in exchange for details about #2.
7 (more) weird things about me
1. I can do mixed fractions and decimal questions in my head in less than 5 seconds (that’s average for two mixed fractions. More than that takes me much longer, obviously). Somehow, 99% of the time, I get the correct answer even though I don’t use LCM’s. Otherwise, I suck at Math.
According to my sixth grade Math teacher, I can solve these things because I can visualize them and literally ‘see’ the answer. (I always remove the decimal point first thing when I’m solving decis so they become whole numbers too). She thinks that’s the reason I can never understand integrals of sin/cos/tan mixes or whatever. If someone maps them out on a graph for me, I can remember. Otherwise, forget it.
2. I proposed to a guy when I was 2 years old. 
And I nagged him till I was about 7 to say yes. He didn’t. Guess he was clever.
3. I cannot concentrate in complete silence. I usually sit in a moderately noisy place to study because if there’s no noise, there’s no reason to concentrate and tune it out.
4. I move. A lot. No one can point out what exactly I do but even when I’m sitting still, people keep complaining that I’m too distracting; will I please stop moving so much? Its making their heads hurt. In exams, my chair used to get kicks from behind hissing ‘Sit still. I can’t concentrate’ I mean, hey, what’d I do?
5. I don’t waste space when I’m working. And I don’t doodle on my notebooks. And when I say ‘waste space’, I mean, let there be no empty space. Like this: I even shadow write between spaces. But this is only on rough notebooks because I don’t need to re-read that stuff afterwards.
6. I use the internet an average of 16 hours a day. Okay, so I have nothing to do. Isn’t that obvious?
7. I don’t use swear words in real life. Ever. I don’t ever say words like ‘shit’. They never ‘slip out’ like people say they do.
6. it used to be my story few months ago but now i use computer all the time except when i am sleeping and doing work (4-5 at max) , sometimes i forget to have lunch/dinner when i am on my PC
7. that’s really nice!
i can do them in my head too… but dats coz i think m fairly reasonable at maths…
i did used to study like that… not wastin space.. when i wud b preppin for exams… !!!
where r the details for number 2 then???
x
haha, weirdo
j/k
if there’s complete silence I get bored. I usually study at home thsi year so I need the tv on. And I don’t just need it on, I need something decent on. If nothing good is on, its also really distracting :S
I use to do #5, but not anymore. I think its the nature of my work, lots of diagrams, a lot of notes analyzing stuff that has to be in a logical manner with a timeline and stuff….that and sometimes i’m lazy and jst don’t take notes…its bad, i know.
#7 me either
Yep, you definitely have a “visual intelligence”. People say the same for me, but I can’t do arithmetic that quickly in my head.
And I feel you about moving-a-lot thing. I have never been told that it’s distracting, but my teachers very strictly used to tell me to keep my legs “under control” behind the rostrum. In undergrad, one teacher called my way of giving presentations very informal because I “strolled around” all the time.
Oh, and I waste a LOT of space. My friends used to call me an expert in filling pages with the least words possible, without making the pages look “empty”.
By the way, whose notebook is it in the picture? Matt’s?
I can’t calculate fast, even with a pen and paper, let alone in my mind. I need calculators.
I need music in the background to concentrate, preferably instrumental.
I don’t move so much, but I waste lots of space when writing (I have compared myself with your picture up there)
I use internet 11 hours a day – 9 hours at work and 2 hours at home.
I don’t use swear words either: not in real life, not in writing, doesn’t “slip out” no matter what the circumstances may be, not in my dreams either.
i LOVE your notebook page. seriously. like LOVE it! makes me want to go back to school and do math. i also love math. i would have done that alone, if i was smart enuf, sadly, i am not, and i love design more. ok, as you were…
WOW! u r really interesting. 16 HOURS on the internet!!!! That is more than have a day………………………………cool!
i meant ‘half a day’
No. 2: WHAT?! I NEED DETAILS, WOMAN!
No. 3: Me too! It’s so hard to concentrate in complete silence!
The first one is really interesting! If i were a neurophysiologist, i’d be doing tests on you right now, getting your CT scan and MRI as you do different types of math questions. Your brain could hold the next key discovery in the world of cognitive science! Lolz.
5th… i used to write like that when i was in 3rd class. That’s when my class teacher noticed it, and made me change this habit.
Wow, i wish could picturize math as that in my mind. Sadly whenever im helping my siblings with their math homework i still need pen and paper,,,
Wanna know more abt no. 2 though…;)
And im loving ur notebook and writing! Like someone commented earlier, it reminds me of schooldays and i miss them a lot!
Btw, kis ko tag kiya? *angelface* hihi…
I got D in O’ Level Math and never studied it again. I can’t see numbers correctly in my head.
you got a D in o’level math?? omg. i don’t know that we can be friends anymore.
#1 This perplexes me. How do you DO this??
#3 and 4: Me too!
PS: I love your writing. It’s a bit like feesa’s
(So.. what I really mean is I would love to take the piss out of your writing)
I make mistakes even while using the calculator. I like words, numbers bore me !
Your handwriting is unusually neat! It doesn’t fit in with your personality on the blog at all!
You are one fascinating woman
Such visual number acuity is a sign of genius, as is your restlessness and tidiness, being signs of a constantly working mind 
Ya Haqq!
It’s your notebook?! Wow. I was actually fooled by the very tiny amount of “rough work” you have done at the edges.
By the way (I hope you won’t run screaming out of the room), in the question where you used the quadratic formula, was it a requirement? Because it’s easier to solve it by factorization (the way you did the question above it).
Oh, and I like the way you write ‘Q’, and the way your y’s would sometimes make a loop. Interesting.
And good debaters are always eccentric!
I wonder if the maths thingy has anything to do with yours specs? :S
Super impressive that you all that math in your head! I am the most math challenged person ever! And I doodle on everything but I can’t draw so there’s just random scratches on all the paper I come across.
1.I am real bad at maths. Real bad i cant add up 5 digit number it take me 2 minutes
2. Awww…
3.I can only concentrate if i am listening to music on The LOUDEST VOLUME
[always get scolded by mum about this]
4.I can sit in a place for 6-7 hours together
5.I write less and draw more in my books and my notes looks exactly like ur I dont leave spaces. My teachers really get pissed after correcting my notes or test papers
6.Mashallah thats nice
Your paper seems like a piece of my project during Bs. lol
I was good at math BTW.
You can do fractions in your head?
I can just about do them on paper.
I’m no good with numbers at all, and i like silence pin drop.
hahaha, wow, aged 2 and propose:D
cool:P waiting for ur post on that 
#7…:D same here!!!
..and my friend says ‘mubi you have amazing control over urself’ :p though i can never recall all of those words when i want to say them lol
#1 wow!!!!! thank god someone came out with calculators!!! i am TERRIBLE at simple math!! :S
:p
n wow fraction in ur mind…God…i hve to get to ma cell to do even simple maths…
ufff i feel so dumb now :p
#7 I don’t swear too. I’ve only once in my life when I got into a car accident last year and was an emotional mess but other than that I never have. V however swears in almost every sentence! I’m always on his case to tone it down. It doesn’t really bother me when everyone around me swears (because everyone I know does), but it’s just something I don’t do because I don’t want to.
these seem perfectly normal…well aprt from number 2
i guess u didnt go thru the ‘ewwww i HATE boys’ phase
looking 4wrd to ur next post!
Well till grade 10 I couldn’t swear as well. But in High School the gurl next to me was a whole pandora box of abuses. So had to keep up with her
Male ego you see
