nervous voice is like, an octave higher.

Maybe you should get a second voice to use with yr awkwardness. This may help. Though Im not sure how.

i'm the same, i have my canadian voice, and my ugly foreign guy who listens to rap voice

I'm far less awkward now than I have been four or five years ago.

yeah, i don't care for it much, either. i'm not sure if it's like, entailing "good weird" or "bad weird."

What do they say is quirky about you? You know, body movement, things you say etc.

i used to look like what you get when you look for 'awkward' in the dictionary.

there is only weird and the varying degrees thereof.

for further reference:

[odd-->strange>-->weird-->bizarre-->disturbing]

as you can see, it's a balancing act.

it sounds like some shitty dish of leftovers no one wants to eat. we'll be back from aunt janine's by thursday, kids; for dinner, there's some quirky in the blue tupperware.

Quirky sounds more like stuff that you would find clogging up some pipes in your crawlspace when you decide to repair the plumbing in your house.

quirky is like one degree below eccentric

Quirky is the young eccentric. When you are young, you are quirky. As you get older, you transistion into eccentric.

edited for uneccesary douchebaggery on my part.

i think their definition of quirky is closer to "generic indiefuck" than anything else. i don't think actual quirkiness really applies with me.

.... feels like i'm derailing the thread. awkward!
