Diamond Mind: Science Fiction

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond, I wrote in the profile. What I was hoping to net was a smart girl with an affection for last-century ironic pop. What I netted was--well, you'll see. She's a girl with diamonds *in* her mind. How could she help being smart with an advantage like that? And sure, she's smarter than most of the smartest people I know. Took me a while to decide if I thought she was really smart or not, but I think she is. That sort of thing matters, you know, when you're thinking of asking a girl to marry you and start a family. It also means that the family jewels are going to get passed down to our kids, and that's--well, that's a bit harder to swallow. Not that swallowing is how they get implanted. Nope. It would be my wife, the black market brain surgeon. I ended up deciding that the connections, the leaps, the intuition, and the sense of how it all hangs together means that she genuinely *is* brilliant. The diamond network gives her perfect recall and the ability to execute any visualized or indexed action perfectly, but it doesn't help her sort out what to use or cue her to what's funny about the situation.

Story Potential: Medium
Notes: Not original enough to be a good story on its own. Good title, though.
