Personally, my area of expertise is changing the subject in the middle of a current conversation to one of the many non-related thoughts meandering along through my head. This usually earns me a "what-the hell-are-you-talking-about" look from the person/people that I'm talking to, ending the conversation. But secretly, I live every day for that look.

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.

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).

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