Does anyone else know people who cannot go more than 2 minutes without hearing themselves speak? Or people you can have a half-hour long conversation with, without actually saying more than 3 words yourself? {frusty} {frusty}

*scream*

on top of this, i've been living with this certain paternal figure for 16 years now, and it's only getting worse. maybe if i were "in" or "hip" i could spend all my time away from the house and not have to deal with this, but that's not the case, so instead i have to watch my every move or risk being dragged into a conversation about every detail about his fantasy baseball team, or a movie from 70 years ago, or what he found when he did the laundry yesterday.

note to other frappydoo-ers: if you see me start to nod a lot and say things like "yep," "uh-huh" and "you bet" in every post... this is where it comes from. ;)

I've been around a few people like that. Sometimes I wonder if I am guilty. I'll find myself talking a lot and then just shut up or start to ask questions instead of just blab on.
