Inspiration

I can't date stupid people-- this girl wasn't stupid, but she far overestimated her own intelligence. Another mathematics major, I was immediately drawn to her capacity for creative exploration. That quickly waned as I began to explore the facets of her world-- she was pretty much a product of parental platitudes, well-worded textbooks, and Catholic hymns... she'd absorbed a lot of information out of her life, but was not exactly keen on synthesis-- hell, she recited a lot of gathered wisdom word-for-word, especially in points on which we disagreed, and that was not only stupidly annoying, but I still managed to trump her on most of it.

Hey, we're all young and dumb at some point...
