Then you don't hear it again and just blurt out a 'Yeah, totally!' E.g. 'What did you say your name was?' 'Yeah, totally!'

So, #2 and #1 are the same for me. Of course, for me it would be awkward to ask for the electronica in a music store because, in order to do so, I would have to talk to a human.

I, for instance, have perfected the art of spazzy hand movements during normal conversation. Just try it, and see how your awkardness grows!

Even (or perhaps especially) in social situations that should, objectively, allow me to channel some external 'cool' personality (like <a href="http://victoriamarinelli.com/main/2007/03/26/journey-to-killadelphia-part-i/" rel="nofollow">this</a> recent one), my behavior is simply dorktastic. I am, in fact, <em>such</em> a dork that, just now, I googled my own apparently made-up word of 'dorktastic' to see what references, if any, I might find by others on the topic. First, Google informs me that there are already "about 18,500" references to "dorktastic," while the Urban Dictionary offers a definition: "Used to describe something that is considered awesome by people of a dorky nature." So I'm not just a dork, I'm a <em>redundant</em> dork. Solidarity! - V. Dude, I am so with you on all of the above (as one of the most awkward hominids ever).

When I'm feeling particularly stupid about the latest spectacularly dorky thing I've done, it helps to know I'm not alone in the universe. As an example, I recently managed to tell a new male friend that I "ended up getting together with my husband by following him around for six months". While that's technically true, I managed to omit the fact that he was a willing participant in the exercise. You know, the part which separates dating/hanging out from stalking. I also have a gift for convincing purely platonic male friends that I'm interested in them, which is bad in that (a. I am not, in fact, interested, (b. I am fat, so therefore generally speaking *they're* not interested, and, just to complete the whole awkward equation (c. I'm married. Anyway, cheers on an awesome blog. Thanks for this blog.
