sit. roll over. play dumb.

a long time ago, i took to playing slightly dumb in exchange for being more socially accepted. i don't know when i started doing this. middle school, maybe? no. middle school was when i started refusing to do mental math in public. i don't know. it wasn't a conscious decision.

joking with camodidi the other day, i said, "sometimes i wish i were a genius too." he said, "yes. but. you have social skills." i found this amusing.

other than being nice, it's the only way i pretend to be something i'm not. i guess it's not a good habit, playing dumb. it is effective, but probably not good for me. 'cause, you know how when you smile and act happy you sometimes get a little happier? um, yeah. i think i am getting dumber.
