k, so when I started the site i really thought intrepid meant "wandering", like an intrepid salesman. I think I first read a similar word in a short story in English class in 6th grade. It stuck with me. So I thought "mentally intrepid" would signify that i'm a very confused person who thinks odd thoughts and isn't sure who she is. Sorry if that's strangely deep. So anyway, intrepid turns out to mean "fearless and courageous." You could interpret that as meaning i'm unafraid of my mind, but that would only be partially true. So i officially say it means my mind isn't afraid of anything, although my body sure acts like it. But i still like "wandering" as a good defintion. Drat. But who cares?
