I really am a terrible conversationalist in person. Especially with people I don't know very well. I just don't seem to be able to think on my feet quick enough. Or perhaps I just THINK I don't think on my feet quick enough. I tend to be a little self conscious. It takes me a loooong time to feel comfortably social with someone. Posting's another story. I think my brain works just about at the speed of typing. On a message board, I have time to make sure I'm saying exactly what I want to say. Of course, I'm still self conscious, so I have a tendancy to over-explain things, thus my many many long winded posts (hey, like this one! )

I'm sort of the same way, except instead of being quiet I just tend to say stupid things. People that don't know me usually think I'm an airhead. Can't say as I blame them either. You also looked thinner than last time I saw you, btw.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I don't think I've exchanged more than one or two words with you in real life (of course, that was at MouseAdventure, so you may have been just really focused...)
