O, the Frailty of Memory

2.18a

I don't have anything to say, so I keep talking.

The committee just looks at me blankly as I rattle off facts about my project. I'm hoping that they accept my proposal, but with every minute my chances decrease. They keep asking me useless questions for which I don't have answers. I keep spouting the same statistics and the same platitudes. Soon, sweat is rolling down my back. My arms are chilly and my palms are clammy. I can feel fire creeping up my neck. I'm sure that I'm beet red.

I feel so insignificant.

  1. Oh, I so hate giving speeches. I know, it's weird, since I talk so very much.

    I'm sorry you had to go through that. You're not insignificant, though. Not at all.

  3. I wasn't sure... Good.


    Random aside: Do you ever actually read my blog?

    Isn't your date coming up? Good luck!

  4. Yes, I do read your blog. I don't comment too much because I don't have anything constructive to say. I'll start commenting anyway, okay?

  5. Thanks. I don't ever have much worthwhile to say, but obviously I say it anyway. ^_^
