I've read you!"<BR/><BR/>I didn't pick up on the socially awkward thing, I just thought you were going for a James Dean-ish 'I am soulful and way too cool to actually engage' vibe. And since I had just tapped into a previously undiscovered wellspring of awkwardness myself, I didn't push through and say "Oh! I've read you!" to you.<BR/><BR/>Must say though-- your baby-whispering skillz were impressive. As were your massive biceps as you effortlessly swung that baby seat for like, 20 minutes.
