Things that are awkward

It’s a meme! A second generation meme, that is. I wish I’d thought it up, but as it is, credit goes to Ashley. And since I’m only against fifth generation memes and greater, here we go!

There’s this girl I know. She’s in the class I go to, so I always see her and talk to her, but she’s usually busy afterward, so we never go eat lunch or hang out, we just say we’ll call each other and never do. Earlier this year, I sent her a random text message asking how she was and whether she thought the sky was as wonderful as I did, or if she was just stupid. She wrote back, saying her father had just died and she was crying herself to sleep nights. Friday, I ran into her again and found out, in much the same way, that her best friend had just died the week before. Today I was supposed to bring her a cookie to cheer her up, but I didn’t wake up and missed the meeting. Now I’m just going to do the mature thing and just avoid her forever. I don’t want to see her again because I’ll just be a moron again and things will be awkward.

Here are some more things that are awkward:

  • turtles
  • my friend Claire
  • “presidential candidate” Mike Gravel
  • stripping
  • meeting parents
  • explosive diarrhea
  • cover letters
  • racists
  • Scientology
  • Mormonism
  • proper nouns
  • letters of reference
  • latent psychic powers
  • big to-dos
  • stiletto heels
  • first dates
  • dates in general
  • holding hands for the first time
  • Friends season finales
  • discussing politics at work with a person that hasn’t been hired yet
  • water accidentally splashing on your crotch before a big date
  • vomiting on a foreign leader
  • assless chaps
  • chaps in general
  • coffee at 6 a.m. at IHOP
  • sitting next to prostitutes
  • breast feeding
  • puberty

and finally,

  • Knock-knock jokes during a eulogy.

I’m going to go watch Heroes now because I want to have all of Matt Parkman’s babies… I hope that’s not as awkward as it looks.

  1. So funny. “Awkward” is my word of the moment. In fact my Myspace status update is “Steph is awkward.” I, too, think Greg Grunberg is a hottie.

    But yes, that whole situation is so awkward it seems like it should be part of a movie. Inspiration?
