aelisdeliria lent me a book, called _Welcome to the Ark_, by Stephanie S. Tolan. It's... captivating. I _must_ own this book.

The reason I'm writing right now is a quote which I had to share...

"How smart do you feel?"
"Comparatively?"
"No. Just you yourself. How smart do you really feel?"
"Truth?"
"Of course, truth!"
"I've spent my whole life trying not to know how scary it was to have people call me the smartest kid in the world. Because I don't know anything."


*shiver* Yeah. Not to that degree, but yeah.

Re: not very smart?

In that fashion, I think we're all a little dumb. My officemates are used to me cussing myself out as I program...

What I got from your first comment was that while you feel smarter than most people, you feel a bit dumb around many of the people that you hang out with. Thanks for the clarification.
