I have buttons! I do not like having them pressed. Things that will help you not press my buttons:

* Knowledge and intelligence are different things. Don't assume they're the same. It makes you look like an asshole.
* I'm smart. You probably think you know this about me, but most of you are wrong.
* If we're having a conversation, feel free to assume I know what you're talking about. If I don't, I'll ask, and then you can excitedly explain it to me. It'll be fun! I promise.
* I seriously, seriously will want to punch you in the face if you come off as condescending. Seriously.
* If you want to offer me basic advice about something, ask first, THEN offer. I might want it! I probably don't, though.

People, I love you. You are fantastic. Please, keep having ideas and thought processes and fascinations and hobbies that are different from my own, so I can keep hearing about them all and learning from you. Just, for the love of all that's good in the world, give me a bit of credit sometimes. Christ almighty, it's like I'm NINE.

Now I want to start "Camp We Explain Things To Actual Nine-Year-Olds As If They Were People (Which They Are)".

"Even 'Snack Food Glory Hole!'" I'm totally there.

It would be pretty fun, actually. "Bring us a 9-year-old, and we will explain to them a complex topic of our choosing without condescension."

Oh, my god, that would be wonderful.

*laugh* That might be the best way to find an intelligent conversation out there, especially at night!

If you create this camp, I will totally build my next year around being your lackey and making this happen. I will learn whatever it takes. Seriously. Let me know.
