Pretty socially awkward here too. Some people really like me and I always wonder why. :-/
I also feel awkward on TB...like I'm not really a lurker, but I don't post enough to really get to know people (or for them to know me) and I feel silly that I care about that.
Dumb confession: I totally ripped off a birthday invite from etsy. I was just going to buy it, but I found a really cute clip art jellyfish (under the sea theme) that I wanted to use that the invite seller didn't have, so I just made it myself. I really want to post a pic but don't want someone to recognize it and think I'm horrible for stealing the design.
I don't want to drive down to visit our parents this weekend. I just don't. It's FIL's birthday, so we have to, but I hate doing it. No good reason, either, our parents are good people and the things that annoy me about them are trivial and ridiculous. I wish I could kick my own HINEY [fck you, bump censor!] into being a more sociable and forgiving person, I feel like social interaction is so much more effing work for me than it is for other people. I've been working at it so hard for so long, and I feel like I only get inches better at it. Ugh.
I wish I could just spend the day drinking margaritas and doing yoga. People are exhausting.
Aggie... I hear you. I feel like the innate social thing that everyone else has is missing in my brain. I feel like I finally understand the rules, and then someone changes the game without telling me and I'm suddenly scrambling to keep up. I hate having to actively try to not be the awkward bunny in a group of people, when everyone else seems to just "do it". It's frustrating and uncomfortable...
I like being home with H, where the only social interaction involves me speaking to Henry or the dogs...
This is why I love this board. I can still be my non-people person self and talk to you all!
My confession is I made a comment on the thread titled BPaws and like a little school girl it's making me laugh (I could just be very tired). Sadly no one has commented on it so I feel this is the case.
I hid all my dirty dishes in my broken dishwasher tonight because we were having company and I didn't feel like washing them.
Isn't that really just another way of saying "I did the dishes"?
Confession: I'm laying here bumping with covers over my head so DH doesn't get pissy about the light from my phone.
I used to do that with a book light and a...well, you know. A book.
My mom would be all, "STOP READING AND GO TO SLEEP!" and I'd be like, "BUT THE MAIN CHARACTER IS HAVING DIFFICULTIES!"
I seriously don't think my parents understand how easy they had it with me. Good grief.
Now I'm all like... "OMGOMG Aggie replied to my post OMG!"
I refuse to believe you are socially awkward!
Last lame confession... quite some time ago there was a "What are you proud of" thread. Hooslisa paged me in a post where several of you guys were really sweet about what I had written. I have had that thread pen in a tab on my ipad since then and look at it every now and then when I need a little pick me up.

I was the same way!
My Dad & I could spend hours in the bookstore & by the end of the week I'd be done with everything he let me buy. I had a huge library of books including my own encyclopedia set (which I read for fun - lame, maybe, but I loved it!).
Last night before I knocked out for the night I was reading under the covers so DH wouldn't get annoyed at my book light. I need to buy a new battery. It died on me which happens to be the only reason I stopped reading and finally went to sleep.
I like to search online candy stores and pretend shop. I search all the things I would eat and add it to a cart and then see how much it would cost for ALL of it!
Best confession ever.
Also, I find it so hard to believe that so many of you are socially awkward IRL! Especially you girls who are always commenting and seem well liked. I never would have guessed that.
I am awkward sometimes but usually it just ends up being funny. I get really nervous while I'm heading to an event, but I'm usually okay a few minutes in. Even when I'm meeting my best friends, I feel awkward and out of place for a minute. It's so weird.

Haha. I also search online candy stores, ice cream shops, Cheesecake Factory menus, etc. I don't add it to my cart, but I look at it all and daydream about eating it when I can start eating dairy, eggs, and the rest of the stuff I can't eat again. Dh always catches me and asks if it doesn't make it harder. One might think that, but I find it helpful.

Lol I wish. But tomorrow I have to unload them and actually wash them. Boo.
