Has anyone had one of those moments when they believe to be good at something, only to realize there are people much better than you? It's hard to follow a young girls many dreams when there are more obstacles than one realizes.

Anyway, I'm basically saying I think I need some singing lessons, or even lessons on how to be an idol, if anyone is willing to lend me a hand?

There will be a few rules I have to have if you accept such as I will sleep in till 10 in the morning and I'm more of an active girl than a study girl, so that would mean no lessons that involve written work. Lessons where you have to sit at a desk for hours on end is boring and I don't understand why it's necessary.

So, if anyone is willing, I'll be happy to learn from you and I promise to do my best between this and planned cooking lessons.

Well, I kind of work in a different league than many of my pals in a lot of areas, so I tend to focus on those these days. Makes things easier.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Oh, I see... Actually I don't get it.

[mysterious_groper]

I'm just a genius!

*... Of some sort...*

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Wow, that's rather impressive.

[mysterious_groper]

I never thought of it as particularly special, I guess? I mean, intellect is normal among the Amarcians...

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Where I'm from, we have smart people but they aren't common.

[mysterious_groper]

Well, as far as I know, they're not super-common outside Amarcia. The Ancient Amarcians had a lot of shinies we've lost, and poking our own blood to breed smart and with awesome two-toney hair might've been one of 'em.

I cant say I understand your world very much, but being smart never the less is a good thing. I wish I was smart. School work would be much easier.

[mysterious_groper]

Schooling's not so much about smarts as zoning in on one thing. I didn't do good in school until high school, and that required a lot of effort. I'm just not the kind of girl to do one thing at a time, you know?

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

I guess not. I thought school is where one is meant to learn and those that are smart do well.

[mysterious_groper]

Smart's a lot of things, really. I mean, people constantly knock how I don't bother with all the jargon for things, but you can't discount the results when I, you know, work.

It's knowing what you're good at and using it that helps a girl get along.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Knowing what you're good at... Well I can do that. Would that make me smart in just that area?

[mysterious_groper]

Personally? I wouldn't use the word "Smart." "Capable" is more specific.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Okay, I understand that. So I'd be capable. I think I can handle that.
