I hate SMOOTH people
Sara's most recent blog just got me thinking about social awkardness and smooth people. As we all know, I can be pretty damn socially awkward. I've gotten over most of the major symptoms since graduating from high school, thankfully.
However, there are just some people that I get completely awkward when I'm around them.
1. My philosophy advisor- Great woman. I've had her as a professor before. She for some reason is interested in the philosophical effects of trauma like me. She likes me. I get around her and I fumble. She looks at me sympathetically and I feel even worse. I ask her about her new baby and pray that I am calling him the right name. It is Dominique right God?
2. When I have my period, I am ten times more awkward. And that's always when I run into the SMOOTH people. Thank god my most recent boss was shy so it came across as if she was akward.
Thank god for finals. It is the excuse for social awkardness- you know haven't slept much, haven't eaten or have eaten too much, haven't showered in days.
I hate finals. But I am most comfortable socially when I am around people during them.

Ran across your blog randomly by pressing the next blog button. Anyway, what exactly is a "smooth" person in your definition?
By the way, great site.
Smooth person: a person who always knows what's to say, never gets nervous, never gets caught out of her house with crazy hair, bug eyes, sweatpants with mud stains on it, etc........
Hey ex mea sententia, in your opinion did you think I was speaking about lawyers?
Here, here. I don't get it why I get awkward around smooth people. It's one of god's jokes. I know the people are smooth; I know the potential for me to get awkward around them. Shouldn't I, then, be able to use this knowledge to overcome? Apparently not. And apparently not while menstruating. There's always a doorframe waiting for me to wait for me to run into while I'm menstruating, or a sentence to stutter through.
