When was the last time you had to speak in front of a group?  How did you feel?

Goodness, it was so long ago, I can't even remember, but I can tell you how I feel because it's always the same. 

Firstly, I was nervous as all hell.  Probably obsessing over saying the right things and making all my points effectively and making sure I wouldn't have to say "tests", "rests", or any other word that would give away my lisp.

Then, while giving the speech, I could only think about how stupid I looked and I bet I probably imagined all the mean things people were thinking about me...

...I don't like speaking in front of people, does it show?

Tell us a little something about your first girlfriend/boyfriend.

Ha, my first boyfriend...I was like...thirteen, and we met on the internet.  His name is Branden and really, I think that whole relationship should have been a great big warning to me about dealing with guys online...but no.  It wasn't.

He was nice at the beginning but towards the end of the relationship he was more focused on his real life than his online life...which is totally understandable now, but at thirteen it was like the end of the world for me.  I remember him telling me, "My world doesn't revolve around you!" and my response was, "Well, it should!"

After we broke up we ended up becoming really good friends, and he became like a brother to me...now we don't tal anymore, which makes me sad because he was awesome as a friend.  I bet he'd make a good boyfriend now that he's older.
