Silence is Golden?

In the last 24 hours, I have had two people tell me how quiet I am. The first one outright said "You're really quiet." The second was someone I have Biology with and then we walk to the Institute Monday through Thursday, and then he's in my ward, so I see him quite a bit. Today we were just walking in silence for about half the walk, which I was fine with because I was kind of deep in thought, and he said, "It's funny how sometimes we just run out of things to say and then then we're just silent. I'm used to being around Natalie, Ashley, and Rachel (three girls from our ward that I/we hang out with quite a bit) and they are constantly talking. But I'm good with a little silence, that's more how I am." Maybe he thought he may have offended me and then tried to make up for it after, but I think he was being serious, mostly because that's how I am too. There are definitely awkward silences, but I am not a person that has to be talking all of the time.

In the words of Coach Boone from Remember the Titans:

"I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated, that's just the way it is."

I'd just like to add "I don't talk unless I have something to say."

After writing this I realized how unimportant and uninteresting of a story that was, but it was something I was thinking about. Which was preventing me from talking when I could have been, I guess.

Also, I do like talking, if the opposite impression was made. I guess I should just make sure I have a lot to say to those people who can't function without it.

Unrelated note: I like Parks and Rec. I'm not sure if this is funny for someone who doesn't, and actually I don't really know if you do, but I found it awesome.
