I never was good with stereotypes though. I was the kid at school who got in trouble with the maths teachers for getting the answers right, they would ask where the workings out were and i would say that i ddin't neeed to work it out - look this is the right answer, innit? I can do addition and multipilcation in my head faster than most people can use a calcualtor - can't do algebra though, can't pin down the pattern to it, they're not as easy to see as the patterns in normal numbers.
as for drinking, i rarely have more than a glass or two, when sober, i am the one at the party who is in the middle of chaos and having fun (most people think i'm drunk) but get a feww drinks inside me and i become a sober and responsible pillar of the community (ie - boring )
I've always put my procrastinating habits down to my first school, until i was 16 i was left alone at school, never did homework or revision, passed every test top of the class without trying because the school was a fialing ione and the standards were so low. i got really good o levels by the standards of that school, but for a level i went to a private girls school and got a bit of a culture shoch because everyone had better exam results than me. for the first time in my life i felt a bit thivk and it took me weeks to realise i was actaully a lot smarter than most of the other girls, but they had worked at thier exams and i hadn't, so i learned to revcise and do homework, but not wihtout putting it off as long as possbile!
