a memory of stupidity, or something

So, true story, in tenth grade I got a C on a math test. But wait wait, there's more! That's not even the good part yet!

I got a C on this math test and I was super-bummed because I literally did not understand anything we were doing and my teacher was super-unhelpful, and the guy sitting next to me looked over at my grade and said, "Wow, you're, like, one of those people who looks really smart but is actually dumb."

BLOG, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?

If you thought: "there is no answer" than you are correct. I sat there sort of duh-wee because seriously wth?

But he was right. I do look smart. I have that not-too-ugly-not-too-pretty, brunette, quiet, studious look about me. Like I'm thinking really big thoughts when most of the time I'm really thinking about something ridiculous, like robots falling in love or what would happen if I rammed the grocery cart into the back wall of the grocery store, where all the wine is, and how much wine would break and spill all over the place and could it possibly flood the aisle a little bit?

Those are actually things I think about. Often. 


What strange things do you think about, blog? And also: do you look smarter than you are? Or are you smarter than you look?

  1. I used to take public transportation quite a bit and I'll tell you something strange I used to think about on the bus. I'd think to myself, "If you HAD to marry someone on this bus, who would it be?" And I'd take a few moments to pretend I HAD to pick a husband out of the crowd on the bus. And then I would. Pick my imaginary husband :/

    LOL, that's great. So hilarious. It sounds just like something I'd do.

    RIGHT? But I really couldn't think of anything to even say, especially because I was super disappointed in the math grade. I'm actually NOT the world's worst math student, amazingly enough.

  4. I would have told him that I got a C on purpose as part of a bigger social experiment I was performing to see which asshole would say something sleazy.
