Whenever I meet someone who outclasses me, I'm exposed to the boundless potential of dialogue that I can't tap into because I'm a complete mess when it comes down to it.
I'm there thinking "wow, such class, the eloquence by which they paint the world around them!" but the sneaking realization is that simply wondering such things is ultimately fruitless unless it's reciprocated somehow.

anyway it's odd, some people creep you out, some people are wondrous fountains of inspiration that makes me want to buckle down, explore their minds.
