Rebel child! What were you doing that year? Stealing cars?

Amusingly, I wasn't actually _in_ school until 4th grade. Homeschooled until that point. :)

*steals someone's brain, instead*

Wow, you smartypants you. :)

Simultaneous 'yes!' and 'dammit, I used to _hate_ being called a genius' responses, here. ;)

:P!

Yeah, I used to *hate* being called skinny, too, but I got over it. ;)

At least you're humble about your brilliance. A non-brilliant person can appreciate that.

Oddly, I don't feel brilliant. I never have.

I just feel like I understand a lot of things quicker than many other people. And, when I look at the people I spend most of my time with, I _don't_ generally understand things faster than them.

I see what you're saying.

"I don't think I tend to interact much with people who are surprised..."

Who'd want to, for too long? It feels better to be around people who accept you as "normal" in respect to themselves.

Hence why I tend to surround myself with crazy, spontaneous, OCD, bipolar, ADD types. See, I'm perfectly normal. *grin*

Yes, it does. :)

*grins* Yeah, sounds about normal to me! ;)
