You have parents that shove books down your throat, make you read them, day by day. They put you in a rapid learner program with a whole bunch of other pretentious dickhammers for six years. You wonder why no one seems to like you in middle school. Someone finally tells you it's because "you know too many fuckin' words. What're you, trying to suck up or somethin'?" This is not a new problem for me.
maybe it's not because you use "big words", but because you still use them like a snot-nosed middle school brat.
out here in the real world, people who are smart, whose parents made them read books and who got into GATE don't feel the need to announce these facts from the rooftops. Using them there BIG WORDS and literary allusions doesn't make you sound smart. It makes you sound like a condescending jerk who needs to prove himself to the world... which you don't need to do if you're as smart as you think you are.
you seem like the kind of person who would know about Zen, did you ever read about the concept of "economy of words"?
no offense meant by any of this, just one stranger to another.
btw I didn't know until I saw your LJ a few minutes ago that it was possible to reach the keyboard with your mouth slobbering all over Chuck Palahniuk's penis but now that I know can you teach me how
