Thing that just annoyed me....

Thing that just annoyed me....

Listening to someone speak, being wowwed (wowed?) by how slick they speak, and then realizing I have no clue about what they just said.  Why?  Because they didn't say anything at all.  Words that sound great but have no mean or substance behind them.  Man.... It's not a skill I have.  I just can't imagine thinking up words when there's no reason behind it.  (And yes this post has meaning.  It's just long-winded.)

Similar.  I thought the thread might flourish.  Nothing wrong with rants in the Anything But section.

Why would you want to have that particular skill? It would just annoy other people.

To dress up, hip-up, my speaking a little.  I have substance but I'm on the dry side.

I think I know what you mean, some people have the gift of gab and can just yak on and on to no specific purpose.

But, I think I have moods where I'm like this too.  It seems like my best conversations are wandering things for no reason at all.  I can't even remember what was said, random spontaneous associating.  All that remains is that it was fun and connecting.
