Just a random note: I'm slow.

[kajarainbow]

I mean that simply and literally, without reference to intelligence levels. So many things, I seem to get done slowly. I work slowly but laboriously at physical labor tasks, at writing, at figuring out some kinds of things, and so on. In elementary school, during one year they let me do half the math problems the other kids did because I just was plain slower at them (though pretty much correct on the problems I did get done). I was one of the last kids to finish my tests, but also one of the highest scoring. Guess I just have my own pace.

I do read faster than average, however. Even if I'm not the speedreader some of my friends (nweismuller) are. ;)

Whoa...it's like my own voice...

(Yup, I'm smart-yet-slow, too. Part of why I prefer non-realtime communication.)

Joining chorus of "me too!"s. :D

I like to think I'm smart, but really, I'm just fast, and dumb. ;)

The upside of being slow is that one remains hungry for learning. It's a better feeling than saturation, I believe.
