I was nervous for nothing. (So nervous in fact that I was having panic attacks in the car.) Once we met up, it was like a real-life VM conversation between us. No awkwardness at all. I felt a wee bit awkward towards the end of the day, but that's because I was so comfortable with her that I wasn't talking. (When I'm nervous, I don't shut up. When I'm used to someone, I'm happy just sitting with them.)
Maybe some day you can meet Larry and Klippy, and then you can tell your momma about your awkward adventures.
