The Mensa test didn't happen. I actually kind of expected that. The Denver chapter is really unorganized and I never got a response from the guy. He takes forever to respond to e-mails.

On a different note, I've got a story I'm working on. For the first time in a while, I think I've got a viable idea for a short. Thing is, I wanna talk about heroism. Nobody seems to believe in it anymore. I wanted to ask questions about whether or not heroism is in us all, what brings it out, what the difference between heroism and insanity is, and whether or not it's dead. Frankly, I'm sick of modern stories with a ton of antiheroes, anticlimaxes, and as a friend added, antipathy.

It's a lot harder to find in yourself when most young American men aren't involved in a land war abroad, but I think it's too easy and cynical to just write off heroism as something determined only by your circumstances.
snottlebocket:
i did the mensa preparation test on their website once, it drove me insane (i had some hopes since i had a reasonably good IQ test but then again the top 2% of the population, that isn't me)

personally i think heroism is still everywhere, to me heroism and bravery is still acting despite of how terrified you are and preferably in a way that you're still nice and cool while doing it.
any soldier who goes to war willingly and knowingly and every guy who stands up to a friend in a lost fight is a small hero to me.
if you're talking about the rambo's and die hards, that's not heroism that's just stupidity to amuse people.
i think these days people got too smart to still accept a character like rambo for a hero that's why the more mundane heroes full of conflict and fear are more popular, easier to identify with and somewhat easier to accept as reall.
