so, i have this bizarro nervous habit that makes me look like a retard. i do this thing with my lips which keeps me from speaking clearly. and i'm already stumbling over my words because i'm nervous. on top of that, my lips (if you know me, you know that they are kinda full sized) are in the way!
last night, there was a work dinner and i was seated next to a colleague whom i hardly speak to. mostly because he's a little intimidating. i was the only one sitting next to him (there were two empty seats to his left) so we were talking almost the entire time. i was surprised how nice and funny he is. i thought there would be these uncomfortable silences but he always said something when our conversations ended.
i realized i was nervous after seeing someone else there and interestingly, noticed how i didn't have to struggle with my lips when speaking with him. weird huh?
