yes i am.

wait, it doesn't work like that in the bugs bunny cartoons.  i switch what i say, then you switch waht you say and then i have just fandangoed you.

Is that what you call what you want to do to her?

it's what i call it when i confuse her topsy turvey method.

And what do you call it when you just get her topsy turvey?

i know !  incredible, isn't it?

I may owe some people a few apologies.
Nah.   

Nah!
I often got into trouble because I thought everyone was as "smart" as I am.

Me too!  My husband reminds me all the time that half the people have an IQ below 100, every time I wonder why someone did something that I think is stupid.

It makes Richard look bright, isnt he the only one who is under on this board? Asides perhaps Ahayes...

Mine is under 100...
I have common sense and that can't be measured can it?

Nope it cannot. There was someone in my year who was very bright academically, but has no common sense whatsoever. It certainly made for some intresting times.

Sounds like me. I'm a fucking retard,
when it comes to reality.

[Kosmonaut]

People used to tell me that i had no common sense - i had no idea what they were talking about really.

Not compared to this guy, seriously. He thought you started a car by pulling the steering wheel and pressing "a button". Then you could just use the pedals (it was a stick shift)

[renaeden]

He lived a sheltered life? Was not taught every day life situations?

I certainly wish I was smart academically. Being able to learn and learn and learn must be fun.

I wouldnt say he left a sheltered life as such, just a prat really, albeit a lovable one. Being smart academically has its downsides.

Sometimes. I wouldn't really call it fun.
Plus, stuff seems to get pushed aside.
That may just be age though.

Being smart academically has its downsides.

It does? What?

[Calandale]

Can't think of anything other than expectations.

It does? What?

You have to do more to be fulfilled. And the good memory that goes with it is a bloody nuisance, there are lots of things I would rather forget.

Haha, bad memory is a nuisance. There are lots of things I would like to remember! I would like to be fulfilled but never am because I have to settle for something that I can achieve which is not much at all. I have an idea of what is out there and all that people can do such as go to uni and get degrees and things like this. I am aware, ignorance is something else.

Can't think of anything other than expectations.

This could mean your expectations or other people's. Your own would be harder I think because you could always omit information about yourself to others and then they don't know enough to expect a certain amount from you.
I know I am a bit of a disappointment to others (I was seen as the quiet, studious type), especially my family but I am harder on myself than they are.

I will trade with smartness with you any day.
