I like to think that I pay attention good, sometimes. Regardless of the few times I do not pay full attention of my host I am still complimented on my listening skills. We all know the girls like that, but there have been times I haven't and it royally come back to bite me in the ass. I have had a few times where I have taken non-verbal signs wrong and got embarressed for it. The best times I can remember are all in school. I just took somebodies signs wrong and every kid in the class made fun of me for it. I guess thats why I try to really listen to someone. That and people are very funny to listen to. Everybody has some wierd way about them that just bust me up, including me.
