I am almost always more articulate in my writing than in my speech. My best impressions are usually made on those who read from me, not those who meet me in person. I often find myself in a conversation, stumbling for the right words, wishing I could just sit down and write instead of talk. 17-year-old Aaron Swartz illustrates the concept very well.
I think you are clever and enjoyable in person. But I understand how it feels to stumble upon your words...not saying quite what you wished...or not at the right time (I'm so quiet in groups, it's terribly embarrassing when everyone ignores the one thing I say!) Anyhow, you might feel that you don't represent yourself well sometimes, but I personally liked you even more once I met you in person...because you have a great presence about you. Sorry for babbling so much, it just struck me.

Maybe it's just me but I always seem to say the right thing at the right time. So I don't know what all your guyses' problem is. Yo. Damn straight.
