I'll accept some praise.

I like being reminded that I am good enough from time to time, and that my qualities are admirable.

Someone stated:

Good example of what I mean about hotness: you pouring your smart all over me makes you hotter.

 I replied:

okay you made me full on grin
congrats
i suppose though that i don't see this as being smart in the same way
even though i think i'm smart, i learn more and more everyday that i'm not near as smart as i think i am
i'm people smart
but for me, that's what i want to be

Someone replied:

and it works for you

I stated:

true but i'll never make some cool invention
or probably discover a cure for some crazy disease
and a part of me wishes i was that kind of smart instead because it's so much more tangible and easily credited

Someone replied:

person smart is great
It's so you
It's much cooler and more rare than a degree saying you wrote lots of papers

 I gave up and accepted it with: 

i'm gonna quit putting it down and just wallow in your praise, okay?
*wallow*
