Action Item Lists

Seriously, with all the perfect conversations I've ever acted out in my head, you would think some of them would come to fruition in real, actual life.  All the things I think to say that would lead to someone saying something perfect.  All the things I build up the guts to say to people, and just get totally let down.  Are people as shy and scared as I am?  I hope so.  Because my heart is starting to ache from being dropped so much.
