smart
i'm pretty good at those "word power" quizzes in reader's digest, the utah grid system makes perfect sense to me, i can count to 84 leaving out all the multiples of 7 and numbers with a 7 in them, and i'm really good at "cranium".
which is why i feel like i can tell people that i'm smart.
not freaky intelligent. just smart.
when i'm sleep deprived? ya, it all goes away. all of it. the vocabulary, the numbers, the ability to cope in the real world... gone.
and suddenly eating curry four meals in a row seems valid.
taking an hour to find american fork seems valid.
watching "the 'burbs" seems valid.
and all the well rested people of the world seem... well... psychic.

on a serious note, i remember hearing that kerry and bush's grades affected people's opinion of them... because they expected their leaders to be 'smart'. my two cents, grades don't equal smart. i know PLENTY of people who spent their undergrad years drinking and getting d's, many of whom are now EXTREMELY successful in various careers such as neuroscience, software architecture, and yes, management. so let kerry have his childhood and don't mar him just because you think that if he got d's, then you could be president.
I lost it. The rest of the evening was covered in a blanket of lil'Elder Johnson giggling and craving sleep.
