We can't stand a moment of silence when with other people, can we? I thought about that the other day while in class. Everyone says "um" or "uh" the second they don't know what to say. Why do we hate silence so much? Do people think it looks awkward when someone silently pauses? "The, uh, other day when I went to the store they had these, uh, little, um, grade fruit things..." What seems less intelligent, pausing quietly or muttering "uh, um" every 6 seconds? Why are there so many questions in this entry? Will you forgive me for its stupidity? Didn't you know that I ramble about strange thoughts I have even if they're irrelevant and insipid? Maybe we do it so no one will jump in and start talking. Nothing like that here. Please interrupt.
