Okay so I think I found everything I guess I need to know by looking around, but 2 things: I am pretty sure I didn't retain like ANY OF THAT (bcuz a lot of it was nonsense btw) and... like basically I don't think anyone can convince me for like even a second that I haven't just actually gone off the deep end w/ this one.

I just spent 20 minutes navigating a page of my dayplanner and all you're all talking about is just completely crazy shit, so I'm just pretty sure my brain snapped.

At first I was like, "did I accidentally join a cult?" But now I'm like "I'm using the internet (or something) in a FUCKING DAY PLANNER"... isn't anyone else worried for their sanity, if this is even happening???

My wrist is cramping but any input would be greatly appreciated, probable fictions of my imagination.

Are you serious? [Louis sounds impressed.] What do you mean, it served you right??

Well not physically, I mean. Ego-wise. No matter what kind of a genius you are, there's always someone better at something than you. Especially at the colleges I went to. MIT doesn't really have any idiots. I mean, obviously I'm still a smirky self-important jerk who brags at teenagers about how smart he is, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the entire world hated me when I was 17. Now, it's mostly just the people who knew me when I was that age.

I got through it and learned some lessons but my battlebot didn't make it. RIP, Spanky.

Basically, when your ego is too big, the world tends to conspire to teach you to cut it out. Not that I ever really learned it, but I'm definitely less likely to be a jerk to people who aren't stupid just because they're not as smart as me.

[Louis laughs about the smirky self-important bit, charmed more than he is repulsed by the behavior.]

Well, that's good! You sound like you've had a pretty interesting life.
