On second thought, I have a preference for imaginative rather than intelligent. Considering how many types of intelligence there are and how wonderfully talented most people can be, I cannot think of anyone I have excluded solely based on "intelligence". Plus, I've realized that I'm not as intelligent as I would like. You can often make up for it with more work, but it's not the same. I remember the day I realized there are people who can tell you whether you can overlap 3 congruent hexagons to form 11 distinct areas in less than 30 seconds. I had to draw the damn thing. I also cannot read or write as efficiently as my English major of a friend. It takes me five times longer to write well - not to mention all the stupid dashes everywhere. In any case, every time you think you're good at something, you find a video of a 10-year-old kid who does it better in his or her sleep. quote:
ORIGINAL: CRYPTICLXVI it si appreciated to be with one that you can grow with, learn from or at least have a conversation without looking at the wall and wondering if you remembered to buy coffee that morning or not. (Slightly off-topic) Many of the posters in this thread have either taught me a little something or appeared capable of "having an interesting conversation". *Wave* You guys are probably even more intelligent than you care to let on, I'd wager. On the other hand, you don't have to be a sub to appreciate the value of peacefully staring at a wall. Usually, some combination of exhaustion and endorphins can accomplish that for me. (Running works very predictably.)
