i appreciate silence just as much if not more than conversation. i'm reminded of a time my friend and i decided to be *bold* and invite ourselves to the table where this guy we were intrigued by/had a crush on was sitting. we said hi and sat down, talking about whatever. we're not really very good conversationalist and quiet people so it was a little awkward. he sat there eating his banana in silence. then he broke the ice and commented on the silence, and how people don't appreciate it as much.. and how it's comforting to be able to just sit in silence and not feel like you have to say anything. it kind of made us feel better about being bad conversationalists :P
