#unstimulating

[howifeltabouthim]

She was sorry about forsaking him, but could not bring herself to embrace such a maidenly future, bored, unchallenged, sequestered in a castle—however accommodating it might be, however prone to the lighting of fires and the laying out of meals—that offered by way of companionship only a monster obsessed with contemplating his own sins. She fled because life in the beast's castle was more comfortable but not, in its deepest heart, substantially different from the life she'd lived at home.

A rant about intellect.

I find her very... unintellectually stimulating.  Don't get me wrong, shes smart -- but only book smart.

I often send texts that I would like responses to and they go ignored for quite a while before I have to say something about it.  Even then, I'm answered with something like "idk" or "What do you want me to say?"  I wan't you to say whats on your mind, not for me to tell you what to say.  I don't want to talk to me I want to talk to you.

I want to know why you did something, what made you do something, what thoughts went through your mind, why you chose to do it this way instead of that way, why you chose these instead of those.  You show us a picture and just say "I liked them," and well thats fine and dandy but its not very stimulating at all to me.

Conversations huh.. a lot of talk about hair really.. and her feelings.. Never much about philosophy or deeper meanings or even the simple "why's."
