I recently helped my friend Janna with a school project where she had to come up with an imaginary product that she could sell to others like an infomercial. So we both got to thinking and all of a sudden I came up with the perfect product.....Awkward-Away: It would help people not have awkward moments or conversations. That always happens to me. I dont know why, I guess I just cant talk to people even friends without having some kind of awkward moment. Anyway, Janna loved it and decided to use it.
But, Im focusing on the fact that I have sooo many awkward moments in my life that I guess it has just grown on me. Living at Clark I am constantly surrounded by friends so for me I guess its hard to talk to everyone. I am in a crowded room with bunches of people that I know and they all are talking to one another and have things to say and I have nothing to say. I mean I want to say something, I just dont know what. This also constitutes my lack of female relationship status. It sucks!!!!
For me, to have a conversation means that it has revolve around some form of entertainment, in my case, movies. It gets tedious after so many years and I yearn to relate to other things but I feel that I missed out on certain things that everyone else has experienced. Every time a friend of mine starts a conversation with another that is interesting, common knowledge, or just a funny topic, I just say to myself why cant I think of stuff like that to talk about. Im sure Im not the only one who has these problems. Talk to my friend Janna she has a product that can help you.....

Oh dear, Ryan. Oh dear...
You don't ALWAYS have to have something to say. Sometimes, it's OK to just listen. Or other times - try to stay with me on this - it might be OK - don't freak out - to just be silent. [gasp!] Yes, Ryan. Sometimes, it's OK to not say anything at all. Don't worry. It's normal. I promise.

Supposedly, statistics say that there'll be an awkward silence in a conversation every 7 seconds. I forgot where I heard that. (awkward silence). You see. Just like that. Right here. There was an awkward silence.
