Now what's that thing I said about me fretting about all sorts of little mistakes I do in public... I know I talked about it to someone... Oh right. quote:Well, that's never actually happened, as far as I can recall. Possible, though. Like some others here, I try to repress any memories of perhaps embarrassing/not so embarrassing things to keep myself sane. Not really necessary considering I've no sanity left, 'cos it was left at the doorstep. But that's aside the point. Right. Embarrassing moment. Um... So, I'm like 3 or 4 or 5 or something, and I'm in kindergarden. Back then we still had this thing with lunch, you know, that someone would read out loud some kids name and he got to go first to get his food. So, one of the nurses says this boy's name - and I get up, like I think 'It's my name, yes, I get to go first!'. But then just as soon I realise it's not my name, and I quickly sit back down, while muttering something about stretching my legs. And you know what's worst? It STILL bothers me.

After digging deep through my memories, I find one that was less embarssing more funny, but embarassing all the same: About two months ago me and my friends decided to faint. That is, breathing in and out fast for about 30 seconds with your arms crossed, and then standing up and someone squeezing you from behind. Anyway, I done it, and when I was out I was apparently shaking all over and rolling around in the dirt. Let me just say, my face was redder than a tomato after that. EDIT: Speeling.

As someone who experiences occasional panic attacks, I can confirm that losing consciousness through hyperventilation really isn't as much fun as it sounds. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I have to take it back to playing in a band. I was scheduled to play a solo, where the entire band stops playing during that time, in front of 20,000 fans at a college basketball game like I have the previous 5 or 6 games, but for some reason when I went to play, this time nothing would come out of my horn! I tried three times and nothing.... so the band played on and my face was as red as my outfit that night... Posts: 69 | Registered: Friday, June 10 2005 07:00 |

I had a panic attack once, and passed out as a result of hyperventilating. It gave me decent headache and was not pleasant. I would not want to consciously educe that feeling. Also, Spring, it sounds like you had a seizure while you were passed out.

It's actually just extended vertigo, really. I experience it all the time, whether I want to or not. I've been told it's because I don't get enough exercise. Once I fell over the sofa and onto the floor on the other side, knocking over a lamp in the process, and lay shaking, unable to sense anything outside my body, for about 30 seconds. Luckily I wasn't hurt and the lamp didn't break, but it still wasn't pleasant. As far as I know, vertigo is caused by a sudden loss of blood to the head, generally by suddenly changing position from lying, sitting, or crouching to standing. I'm guessing extended vertigo can be dangerous, so I wouldn't do that again if I were you. My cousins and brother seem to love doing it though. They call it a "Space Monkey". They don't believe me when I say it's dangerous.

I guess a couple of real times... In fourth grade, I got upset over nothing and was was dragged off kicking and screaming into the office in front of my entire class. THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS A TRUE STORY. I SWEAR ON ALL OF THE HONOR I HAVE THAT IT IS REAL. The other time, which I still live with, is on this past Christmas Eve, when I hanged myself. I wasn't trying to commit suicide or anything, I was just doing some stupid experiment, and I went unconcious before being able to get down. MY HEART AND LUNGS LITERALLY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS, BY DEFINITION, DEAD. My brother found me, running straight into my dead, hanging body, and the neighbor, who is a firefighter, resucitated me, but my neck organs were severely damaged, and I had gone into a coma. I was in the hospital for four days hooked up to machines, and when I woke up, I didn't know where I was. After over month and a half of recuperation, I was able to return home, shocked that my original door was taken down my stuff had been moved to another room on account of the fact that my mother and one of my brothers couldn't stand to imagine me being in there and the possibility of opening the door and finding me like that anymore (I'm back in my old room now, though). I have to live through the embarrassment from different people, day after day, many of whom automatically assume it was a suicide attempt before I have to sheepishly explain as best I can, which is difficult to do, since I'm not sure what happened, and some of my memory has been lost. I don't mind telling people, but I'd appreciate it if no one would criticize me or make comments about it here. -------------------- "Sometimes I get all hungry! And then I catch some flies!

I have heard something like this in a NBC Dateline report a few weeks ago. School kids, usually around late elementary to mid middle school years, play this sort of "Suffucation Game", or some people know it as "Space Monkey". It's the thrill of losing conscioiusness that gives sort of an adrenline "high". Several kids that have done this have actually died doing this so-called "Suffucation" game. I have heard that it's becoing a more widespeard thing, since I keep hearing terrible stories about it on a daily basis on this. People have the perception that the Suffucation Game is "attempted suicide", but rather, it's just another way to get the "natural high" and light-headed, eventually passing out and perhaps death in serious cases. Some kids have tried to do it themselves and have actually killed themselves doing it because they couldn't release the reach of the belt they were hanging from. I do not know why that this game is a trend that kids can't get enough of, unless the "natural high" is really that good, in substitution of drugs. This really should go under the "Scariest Thing" thread as I really do not see how this game is funny or embarassing. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

My worst - that i care to remember - was the night of my highschool graduation. Walked up accepted my certificate, walked to the end of the seating row (they went up like a set of stairs) went to step up onto the 2nd row and stepped on my dress. Falling flat on your face WHILE being videoed is not my idea of a memorable night :( -------------------- If there is no light at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and turn the damm thing on yourself! people often tell me i've lost my mind, but i tell them i have to have one to lose it! lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

That reminds me of another somewhat embarassing moment of mine- I dropped my diploma the moment after receiving it at my own high school graduation, after addressing my Dean (a Mr. Washington) as "Mr. Subramanian." -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

I am a traditional Catholic extremist who attends the Latin-spoken masses from the ancient days before 1962 and the Vatican II council, when 11 protestant ministers came up with a new ceremony that you see as the "mass" today in the movies. The eighth commandment from Exodus in the holy book of my religion forbids lying. If I wasn't telling the truth, I would have retracted what I typed, feeling some guilt along the several days since I wrote it, since there is the blessed option of revising posts. I have the same Meyers-Brigg personality type as Abraham Lincoln, and he is my favorite president. The first lie I told was only to a chronic liar, I don't lie to my mother, and it's difficult for me to even utter falsehoods to other people. Personal honor is also important to me. Trust and loyalty are even more important. Once again, I SWEAR that the account I gave above is absolutely true and correct. -------------------- "Sometimes I get all hungry!

Well, since I don't have an embarrassing moment to post I'll post an idiotic one. I woke up at about 7:00 one morning, and went downstairs to find something to eat. We were going to go to the market that day, so there was very little left to eat. The only thing I could find that I wanted was brick of cheese, and when one primarily eats raw and/or organic food eating a bunch of cheese is most convenient. Anyways, the chopping board was dirty and I didn't want to wash it, so I cut a piece off the cheese while I was holding it. I had cut food that way several times in the past with no problems, and my mom always yelled at me for doing so. Well, this time I wasn't so lucky; the knife slipped and cut halfway through my right middle finger. It was along the pad of my finger, and bled profusely for what felt like forever. I cleaned and bandaged it myself because I won't go to a hospital unless it's life or death. When I showed the wound to a veterinarian friend of ours a week later she said I was very lucky that the barely attached finger tip didn't come off while healing, and now all I have is a very light scar that goes all the way across my finger as a lasting memory. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |
