Ivy League

I had a conversation with a very intelligent person last night, which doesn't happen very often.  It's funny when I think about it now because I remember that I was actually paying attention because if I didn't then I wouldn't know what the fuck he was talking about.  I had to think about what I was going to say instead of just saying the first thing that popped into my head.  Then figure out a way to say it without sounding like a complete idiot.  It was very exhausting.  I think I managed to fool him into thinking I was slightly intelligent.  Or he was just sparing me.
