Hummm... That's a hard one, just cause of my personal experience having a learning disability (LD). I have been called stupid way TOO many times... It took me a long time to realize that I am not stupid... but that the people calling me stupid were stupid, AND ignorant.. like this one chick...
True story: - I had a notetaker in college, cause I had trouble organising my thoughts on paper... she was absent one day... so some girl i didn't know from class asked me if she could have my notes. I explained that sure, but that they might not be great cause my note taker wasn't there... and that I have one cause I have a learning disability...
... to which she replied "you don't look stupid" ... *sighs* ... that's just plain her being stupid and ignorant... I am not good at everything, but exceptional at atleast a few things... and definately NOT stupid lol.
I'm betting that Sti was talking about being soooo tired as to be inattentively mentally clumsy. (See his previous post about getting some zzzzs, so willing to wager he did something silly like put his slippers on to get into bed... )
