For me, I often say things that are plain Socially Awkward. Not necessarily out of context...just not what you'd think to hear coming out of a friend's, let alone from a stranger's mouth. Alas, I have no examples at present. Just have to take my word for it. Great blog! The feeling of been-there-done-that fills me up, Buttercup.

That's awful! Can I just say I'm glad that was you and not me (though I kinda wish I had been Tina and watching it all!). I will truly remember the tip of not using information you think you over heard in a conversation. This illustration will stay with me for quite a while, I'm sure! Holy cow! That’s awful!

Well I once went on a date w/ a guy I met briefly through a distant and crazy Republican friend. I realized half way through the date that I had the wrong name for him in my head! Earlier when he came to my house I introduced him to my roommate (with the wrong name) while they were introducing themselves (with the correct names). He worked for a local D.A. and was in the Young Republicans, so hence we never had a second date and his nickname since then was "Young Republican". See, we all have our moments. Diva,

What made the whole thing so darn funny is that I'd read her Friday blog about making good conversation with strangers and then next thing you know...the train had jumped the track! :) Poor Val...I will say, she recovered beautifully. ...and she is actually a wonderful conversationalist!
