Well, let's see.
I know more overall than pretty much anyone I know (that is around my age, of course). I can pull random facts about nearly anything from my memory, I am able to maintain a perfect GPA without doing much homework or studying beyond writing whatever essays I have to do, my memory is semi-photographic (I can remember some things as if I had just looked at it while others I forget almost entirely...it's rather odd). While I do know people who generally get higher grades than me in singular subjects (there are usually one or two people with higher grades than me in, say, math) I generally have more subjective knowledge overall than they do. However, the fact that I am so spread out may work against me in the end, as I am currently unable to excel extremely in one area or another, I just do very well in all areas.
Even though that whole paragraph may make me sound like I believe I am the most intelligent creature on the face of the earth, I am smart enough to know that I am not. I do know that there are many people in the world who are smarter than me (or at least have more applicable and focused knowledge, such as every major inventor ever), and I am greatly humbled by them and envious of their intelligence and determination.
Also, this is my 2000th post.
