Intelligent conversation, where forth art thou?
Had a MIND BOGGLING conversation over dinner.
I have a dormmate who is a real-life Mikuru, in more ways than one. Maybe I've mentioned her before, maybe I haven't; can't remember.
She's cute, and makes all those cute-sy gestures while talking, and stutters, and that's what I can't stand. I have low tolerance for such characters.
So here's what happened over dinner.
Her : Say, Deru-chan~ Don't you think the person who invented purin (pudding) is amazing?
Me : ...um.. yeah, I guess.
Her : It is, isn't it? That person must be really really really smart!
Me : It could have been invented by accident though. Or something like the sandwich?
Her : Oh yeah, the inventor wanted a convenient way to eat still playing cards right? Oh, and fried food is such an AMAZING invention, don't you think?
Me : If you say that, then the people who invented things like the telephone or airplane must be even more amazing, no?
Her : ....mmm.. I don't think they're that amazing. Come on, it would take a genius to first start frying food right?
Me : ...no, I think that was a necessity. Someone probably ate raw meat and died, then after that people realised that you need to cook it first for it to be safe.
Her : But still! You'd just need to cook (she said "yaku") it, right? But instead, they discovered methods like ageru (deep frying) and yuderu (boiling), so they must be really smart!
Me : (by now I was trying not to burst out at her and call her an idiot; apparently she doesn't get sarcasm either)...so you think those people are really smart, and that the phone and airplane aren't such great inventions after all?
Her : Something like that!
Me : Then tell me, how would you go home? Do you plan on swimming all the way back to Korea? Wow, you're amazing, being able to do that!
Her : There's such things as ships, you know.
Me : Then what about the person who invented the ship?
Her : ..mmm.. but still, the inventor of fried food is amazing, right?
I just gave up making conversation after that.
Based on that I'm tempted to say that one's IQ is in inverse proportion to one's breast size, but I have perfectly sound, intelligent friends with great figures, and for all my flatchestedness, I am still kind of dumb.
I miss having a conversation where I didn't have to watch my mouth. I want to be able to laugh out loud and not watch how I behave, be able to call the other party a bastard and still be able to laugh over it. Someone take me home. T___T;
