What's Painful
Ya know what's painful, I mean REALLY painful? Knowing that you are not a brilliant person
**. Oh, and spare me, all you superior Cellar noids, if you THINK you're brilliant it's only because you haven't MET the RIGHT people yet. I have been reading and reading and writing and writing and Baked Alaska'd in other people's essence of brilliance-ness and I have to tell you: I am in awe of them and I wish I was like them, but I'm not and I never, ever will be and laydees and gentlemen--THAT is painful.
On the OTHER hand, I have met people who have been only one swing out of the tree. So. I ask you. Is it all perception and education, or is it really true that some are more equal than others?
**caveat--i never thought I was brilliant, but, i thought I was middling good. And, I'm not.
