and that the other party immediately forgets

Oh, I've been there.

I have wondered how my writing style compares to my conversational style. I know I'm far more verbose while blogging. In person, it takes me a while to warm up to a conversation, whereas in blogging I just plunge in and wander around.

Only one of those has happened, and it's not the one good for my health.

I'm so sorry. ::hands::
