-------------------------------awkward---------------------------------------
This should be the title of the story of my life. Today I went to talk to my thesis class professor and I was so bad at talking, I think she actually started thinking that I have some sort of speech (/mental) disorder. Which actually made me feel a little better about it all, strangely.
Maybe I should go get medically tested and have myself officially declared with either a speech and/or mental impediment. You know, one of those things which, like a learning disorder, doesn't quite mean you're stupid...perhaps some sort of "social ineptitis"
Then when I'm feeling awkward I can just flash my card and say, "See?! I'm medically allowed to be this way." Thus, ironically, dispelling the awkwardness by using a charming mix of self-awareness, deprecation, and humor.

The post is nice and whitty like you.. oh wait if your whitty then you can not have a speech problem ;-) Babe you are WAY to hard on yourself. I know the teacher didnt think that and no one else does as well, trust me I feel the same way all the time, esp in front of my grandparents (as you know) and my boss.

LoL, Jennifer, you're a very out-going person. You don't have a social ineptitude, so don't worry so much. You still rock!

You are so hilarious. That post could very well have been taken from my blog (if you took out all the witty humor and proper grammer). I seriously considered telling the people I used to work with that I had a speech problem because of my TMJ. I used to stutter and mumble and sound like a complete incomprehensible idiot. Oh man....don't you love feeling socially inept? Even though you're not!
