We all have 'em, we all hate 'em, but sometimes you can brighten somebody else's day by sharing 'em. The Setting: Sunday night, movie night, my usual spot laying on our living room floor in front of the TV, my husband's usual spot laying two feet to the right, our friend Chris's usual spot laying on the couch three feet behind me. The Movie: Double Jeapordy, friend Chris has seen it before, after watching it I feel like I've seen it before but it might have just been the previews, husband Chris has not seen it before. The Mood: As usual we joke, we laugh, and the guys have had a nap within the last six hours. I'm extremely tired having been up late for the last two nights, no nap. The Incident: The movie is nearing it's end, I've moved to a sitting position to ease some pain from laying on the floor, friend Chris has moved to a sitting position on the floor leaning on the couch. His feet rest next to my thigh on the left. His foot brushes my thigh. His foot keeps brushing my thigh. One minute... two minutes... So very tired... what to do?? I change position slighty. Can't focus... Still brushing. What to do?!!?!!?! He stops. Movie ends. We joke, we laugh, we say goodbye. The Aftermath: ~11:30 PM So tired... so very tired... can't sleep... can still feel it... what to do? What did it mean? Beepity-beep-beep-beep(sic) What the H E double L was that? One hour later, sweet sleep. 3AM RREEOOOWWWW, MEEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW. *throws pillow at cat* so tired... so very tired... can't sleep... Beep!(not sic) I have to know. I have to ask him. I HAVE to know... *watches sunrise through closed eyelids* sooooo tired... (Oh yeah, I should probably mention that 'friend Chris' is the fairly new youth/worship pastor at church. He's supposed to work 9-5 weekdays at the church, I think. Husband Chris is his soundtech. They're best buds. (husband Chris hates the word 'buds'.)) The question: Had to take some stuff to the church anyway. Got a rummage sale planned for baby stuff, and I ain't havin' any more babies as long as I have the four God already gave me. Packed up box of baby bottles, crib, and four kids then set off for church. Stomach churns... feel faint. Carry everything into the nursery, little woozy... let the kids play, so tired... tell friend Chris I have a question. Stammer, stutter... 'What the H E double L??!?' (not sic) The answer: He didn't even realize, had been nodding off, he didn't mean to, sorry. ... ... AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Face red. Face still red. I am such a loser! Hope I made somebody's day in my folly. Everything is supposed to work for good. Can't see it yet. Need enlightenment. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

Let me think, I let the woman of my dreams walk out of my life forever... does that count? I also think I once accidentally and unintentionally asked a friend of the female gender out. I said that she and our group should go out and see a movie, but I may have forgotten to mention the group itself. She rejected the invite and I wondered what she had against our friends. Thinking back a year or two later I realized what I had done. That is a little embarrising I guess. Posts: 1233 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Well, I let two of my drunk friends last Friday night cut my hair off with scissor and while they were doing that, someone came up and drew on my face with makeup. The haircut ended up giving me several bald spots, and I walked home with this shotty hair cut at 4:30 in the morning. I have now had the whole lot shaved off a couple days ago. -------------------- When you think you can't get any lower in life and hit rock bottom, God hands you a shovel.

Okay. A couple of tihngs that would have been embarrassing, if I cared what society thought of me. Okay, so, a while ago, I was walking home. My phone rang, but I didn't manage to get into my pocket in time to answer it - we've all had calls like that... Phone rings, you accept the call just as it ends. Anyway, annoyed, I looked at who had just called. It was my girlfriend, but at the time, we weren't together. She'd called from her mobile, but I didn't have much credit, so I called her home number. It rang. And rang. Eventually, someone picked up. "Hello?" she said. "Hey sweetheart. Just thinking about you. What ya been upto? Andmore importantly, what are you wearing?" I answered. "Erm, hey Nikki... err, I think you wanted Joanne, didn't you?" the voice replied. I'd been talking to her mother. luckily, I explained, and all was well. Other things coming soon. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

I've had a number of embarassing moments, and the worst thing about them is that they can never quite be forgotten. No, they just all sit in my brain, mouldering and showing up here and there to torment me. Certainly writing about them will exacerbate this condition, but I can't resist, can I? One that comes to mind has to do with this girl named Molly that I had a thing for the summer after I graduated from high school. John, one of my closest friends, knew her and I got to know her through him. Now, John is a fine fellow but he does have a bad habit of not being able to leave a friend's girl alone. But on this occasion, although he was interested in Molly, he professed to stand aside and allow me to pursue her. So I did, in my own tentative way. As she happened to share my liking for ferrets, I mentioned the ferret shelter I volunteered for at the time and encouraged her to come along. She didn't, predictably- cleaning out litter pans isn't for everyone. But I was still enthusiastic about my chances up until this one evening when a bunch of us attended a friend's recital. After the concert, I saw Molly and greeted her. John showed up at the same time, and held out a book to her, asking, "is this yours? I think you left it at my house." I looked on in horror. Only the previous night, Molly had given me this book (can't remember the title now) as a gift while the three of us were hanging out at John's house. I had graciously accepted, even though I already owned the book (and my copy was in much better shape to boot). Hardly needing her copy, I had carelessly left it behind in John's house after departing. Of course, John's presentation of the book made me appear a terribly callous cad. I stammered out my explanation but I'm afraid it hardly sounded credible. That was the end of that pursuit. After the incident, I accosted John about it, accusing him of intentional sabotage, a charge he had been guilty of repeatedly in the past. But he insisted on his ignorance that the book had been a gift to me, so strenuously that I eventually gave up trying to make him own up. Of course, he ended up sleeping with her a couple weeks later. But he's a good guy in other respects. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

Just an awkward telephone call with my friend Michael(though probably more embarrassing for Michael). Michael: We need to talk. Do you have a boyfriend? Me: Um...no, why? Michael: I broke up with my girlfriend of a year and a half a few months ago and since then dating has felt different to me. I wanted to tell you that I don't want to date you. Me: Okay, I don't want to date you either. (silence) Michael: My mom and I thought... Me: No (silence) Michael: Oh -------------------- Do not underestimate the power of the mechanical pencil.

quote:LOL! You've made my day at least, thanks for sharing. I look forward to the other things. :) OK, OK, I don't really have another embarassing moment but I do have one that was at least awkward. Also rather recent. Chris decides he's taking me to a movie at the theater. We go in for Superman Returns. Friend Chris comes too, of course, and so does one of the youth from church. We joke, we laugh, as usual. This highschool age looking guy sits down next to me, apparently coming to the movies alone, and starts talking to me. Husband Chris shoots me a quizitive look, I shrug back, what am I supposed to do? He talks to me through the whole movie, I smile politely, nod a few times, but don't say much. Right as the credits roll, he shoots out of the theater, not a word. Left us all with a 'What's up with that?' kind of feeling. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

Nico, that's priceless. More so given that his mother thought the same thing. I tend to forget this kind of stuff... anybody else have a hard time thinking of these? Wait, nevermind... repressed memories resurfacing. Two rather good ones, actually. -In middle school, getting sick and vomiting after drinking a bottle of blue Gatorade at lunch. If only I'd made it out of the hallway... -Having to tell a girl who I'd just helped get out of a bad relationship that no, I couldn't date her and my then-girlfriend too.

Jewels: Glad it cheered you up. And Nicothodes' is easily the funniest, althought the TM/Stuggie faux pas could take the biscuit. Okay, new story. This one isn't really embarrassing for me, but was for my friend. But first, some context. I know this guy, Webber, thus known because his surname is "Webber" (complex stuff here...). He's bisexual, but hates the fact that people think he is merely homosexual, finding the label very, very repressive. He isn't your typical person, he's funny, witty, and very talented. It was he who got me writing. Anyway, we decided that we were to get a house together, if I don't go to univeristy, since we're such good friends. And so, at every opportunity, I now make wise-cracks about us living together, so that he gets wound up, and tells me to "stop being so gay! People will talk!" Anyway, today, he had a "working" lunch together - he is acting in an adaptation of Faust I wrote. As we left the place, he called in to Boots, a big pharmacy chain, and bought something for his mother. At the checkout, the lady kindly asked "Do you have a clubcard?", and he shook his head, and said he didn't. Seizing the opportunity with both hands, I piped up "We'll have to get one dear." Then, turning to the lady behind the till, "We're moving in together. He doesn't like to say, but we're going to be very happy!" The poor guy went bright red, and the lady looked very bewildered, but kindly said "It's so nice to see young boys living together. I hope you're very happy." Almost dying from suppressed giggles, I turned away, and let Webber explain. He got out of the shop ten minutes later, and simply said "You dolt. She didn't believe me."

I was a sophmore in high school and at the time I was taking a medication that makes you nauseous if you take it on an empty stomach. I was in my Health class, and no breakfast plus that medication and a movie on STDs left me attempting to run down the hall to the bathroom, but instead spraying puke down half the length of it as I ran. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!
