"Just one?" Da Husband inserts.
So there's this one of many annoying traits that I have. When I get into a new situation with new people, and I'm crazy nervous, I get loud.
Not just a little loud. But so loud that I think into myself, "Who is this crazy, loud woman I'm being forced to talk to? I have got to get away from her." But then I can't. You know why? That crazy, loud woman is me. It's a disaster.
And as I watch the people who I am talking to and the looks on their faces as they respond to that crazy, loud woman, rather than stopping and calming myself down, I just get louder. I can't help myself. It's a horrible train wreck that I can never seem to avoid. It's amazing that I can make new friends at all.
Oh, and you know the thing that makes my loudness even louder? Give me a beer. Yeah. It really has the opposite affect that you would think. You would think it would calm me down, I'd relax, and I'd get quieter.
But no, I get louder. It's really great. Oh, and it is usually at his point that I drop a couple of curse word bombs.
I am just that awesome.
So there I am, last Thursday night with a group of very conservative Okie Bloggers. Loud. Cursing. Offending everybody. And I can't stop myself. And when you're in a room of what you know are mostly super conservative bloggers, well, that's not so good.
Aiy yai yai, Kelly. Shut up! But I couldn't. And I didn't.
So here is when I have to apologize to the Okie women of last Thursday's gathering of Mom's Nite Out.
But mostly I should apologize to the one person I knew who I talked into going with me, Jill of All Trades.
Oh and guess what, I've talked her into going with me to BlogHer '09 too. She's probably regretting that decision about right now.
