Have you ever felt like a genius? - Page 2

jakeledel · 15th October 2003, 20:02

whenever i need to correct people on their grammar or spelling

edit: i know i didn't use punctuation so don't say anything

Not my fault - I hit the button only once, and even if I didn't, arn't I only supposed to be able to post once in a 60-second period? It's apparently a bug in vBulletin.

[edit] Whoa, they're spaced several minutes apart?! I REALLY didn't press *submit* more than once (didn't even see the double post, because I had closed the window). Ah well[/edit]

Cognition · 16th October 2003, 08:27

So you're saying you managed to post a second time *without even being there?* That's real genius, that is.

xzxzzx · 16th October 2003, 13:26

Ha! Yes, yes, it is. Without even trying, I have demonstrated my genius!

EnDurA · 9th November 2003, 00:55

whenever i explain my view of wrong and right and they just look at me like "wtf?"

oh, and when i'm finding out stuff in DOS, like netsend

cmountford · 9th November 2003, 03:45

yes, sometimes---let me explain. In many areas I just have innate abilities to know things I'm not supposed to know (stuff that's WAAAY ahead of "my level," and people at first are like "shut up," then I show them something and they're like "wow-sorry."

Most of the time, though I feel stupid even though people say I'm smart (kinda weird; reverse relationsip between whether others think I'm smart versus whether I think I'm smart).

Fickle · 9th November 2003, 04:16

I start feeling like a genius when I drink and people laugh at my jokes. There's a string of time in there where I'm drunk enough to let lose all my strange inner musings and when everybody is drunk enough to laugh at all of them. Most of the times it's hit or miss. An hour after I've started drinking it's almost always hits.

People were expecting me to go to an ivy league college when i grew up.

This was very similar to my younger years, without the Ivy League college part (they seem to frown on criminal records). I did a report on how an internal combustion engine functions, complete with diagrams drawn on the blackboard, in second grade (age 6), completely on the fly – no notes (I had completely blown the assignment off, so I just went with something I knew - A+). When I was done I realized no one in the class, including the teacher, had understood what I said. I wasn’t sure if it was because they weren’t smart enough to understand or I wasn’t smart enough to explain it in a way that was understandable. There were similar occurrences over the years, where my feelings of genius were dashed quickly by the reality of the situation.
I have gotten to be friends with actual geniuses (people who’s IQ’s qualify them for the “club”) during my life, and there lives aren’t much different than mine. The true “genius” to me seems to be the ability to take life as it is and make the best of it.

There's a short feeling when a new song is learned on the guitar. Or when it's classical gas, a new part of it. That song is insane to learn, only about a few 'parts' in. Then it fades within minutes.

Of course, this is the same person who, since we've bought a cat, always asks "Me?" after his fiance asks him to do something, even though we're the only two people in the house. :broke:

Mostly I just feel like I'm willing to work harder than most people.
