I just don't know what to say. I sit there and search for conversation topics in my head until I suddenly realize that I haven't said anything!
There are two kinds of silence. There are comfortable silences and then there are the silences that you can feel, their presence is stifling. You just want to say something, anything to end it, but you can't think of anything. So you mumble something lame about the song on the radio, or the billboard you just passed, or maybe you just laugh at the awful predicament you are in. And the person you are with makes a response. Dispels the silence. But when they're done you find yourself searching for conversation topics....
That happened to me a couple times tonight. I feel lame.
But I did have fun! I hitched a ride up to the Tabernacle to watch my friends perform in All-State Choir. They were amazing. Their conductor had chosen some really cool pieces (Whitacre's "Cloudburst"!) and they were so precise, their blend was superb, and their energy was fantastic!
I am supremely jealous.
Gah! I hate being a mooch! I hate being socially inept! I hate seeing all of the night's stupid moments replayed in my head!

No worries. It happened to me last night too. It seems to happen all the time. I'm getting sick of it! Ahhh, stop the madness!
No way.
There are others out there too??
If it makes you feel any better, this was me for a lot of my Junior year.
But then I really got to know the amazing people with whom I associate, found out more about myself, and a little more about how I can really be confident in whatever I choose to do.
I understand perfectly, and, actually, I did not for once think that you ever had times like that.
Yay for being human! If's such a good thing that we all can understand and relate. Life can really be a beautiful thing...
Ok I'm alittle late commenting on this one but you do realize that it was 11-12:00 at night I thought given the exaustion of present company we all fared pretty well under the circumstances.
