B.S. said it best

So I found myself not being the complete embodiment of awkwardness at a particular social function the other day, I was actually helping the conversation along - which suprised me as much as the next person. When awkward pauses would arise between the 2 main players (as I was a supporting cast member in this particular situation), I would chime in with some terribly witty comment like, "Don't you think that Mayor Newsome really must address the flagrant fabulousness of the Castro District?"

And then last week, I kinda stood up to my boss, but not really. My defiance was palpable only to myself, but still, nascent as it was, it was there. Perhaps my goal for this week should be to start making passive agressive comments that could be just as positive as they are negative like, "Your overall face fuziness does a splendid job of catching the crumbs from that freakish pastry you feel obligated to devour in front of everyone during morning meetings."

My cojones are growing and my awkwardness is, at moments, abating. I think Britney said it best, "I'm not a girl, not yet a nudist walrus with a susbstance problem."
