Babbling.

You know...people who get nervous and start talking about anything and everything just to break the tension? Then it just makes things worse, ‘cause it doesn’t fucking work. Ever. So they *keep* babbling, and soon I just feel like strangling them.

There’s only one thing that bugs me more than people who babble...and that’s people who can get away with it.

My wife was one of those people, to an extent. She didn’t babble when she was nervous, she did it just to fill those uncomfortable empty silences. They really got to her...me, they don’t bother. It’s the noise I can’t stand. But when she started in, her eyes would sparkle and she’d wrinkle her nose in this weird little way...I wanted to kill her ‘cause I *enjoyed* it.

And Gibson...she babbles to fill the quiet *and* when she’s nervous. And, like my wife, she gets *away* with it...in a different way, but she can pull it off, and it bugs me. Because it *doesn’t* bug me, if that makes any sense. She gets this little smile, and her voice is just so unique...it’s the kind of voice that could read the phone book and make it sound almost sexy. Rachel, she rides that line between cute and sexy, and I can never quite decide which is which on her...maybe *that’s* what drives me so batshit nuts about her.

Other than that? When you talk to me, you better have something interesting to say, or odds are? I’ll be walkin’ off before you can spit.

I'll keep this in mind Tom, I know I have a tendency to chatter, and from the glances you throw at me? I wouldn't be suprised if the other night spurred this thought closer to the front of your mind.

and I'll pretend I can't read the rest of it. darn your attractive encryption rate. you do realize i can do that stuff in my head right?

I'll plead the fifth on that one.

So that's what it takes to get you all weak in the knees, eh? A good computer encryption? Remind me to ask Marshall for some computer geek pickup lines.

That sounds familiar... Peyton! Sure, look you know I start trouble just because I can. I think you actually get some entertainment value out of it.

Oh be still my heart. Actually there are other things that get me weak in the knees that you do, but maybe I should plead the fifth here.

Well, I *do* have a penchant for loving *disaster* movies...

Okay, now you've *definitely* piqued my interest, you dirty rotten tease.

[my_strappyshoes]

Disaster movies? I prefer war movies to be honest. Thin Red Line, Saving Private Ryan, those are good. Even that one with Hackman and the Wilson brother was pretty good.

Ooh, I'm a dirty rotten tease now? How lovely to know.

I don't think Lauren has anything to say to Tom at this point, but I wanted to say that I just loved this response. I can completely here it in Tom's voice. Way to go!
