Hello there world:)
Recently, I've been faced with many everyday circumstances, but came off worst in them.
AKA, my awkwardness and pathetic people skills intervened and the situation spiraled down the drain.
So I thought, as a method of reflection, I would list these various moments out in no specific chronological sequence, just so that.... I could revel in my own social awkwardness.
My List of Recent Awkward Events
1. I got onto a bus that drops me off about half a kilometer from my home. However, when I realized this, I still had the chance to get off and take another bus that would basically just drop at my doorstep. But because I had ALREADY bought the bleeding ticket, and was too awkward to actually get off my butt, I ended up waiting until this far-off bus stop and walking home in the heat. I actually quite like walking but that's NOT THE POINT. I failed miserably in a situation where about 96.74% people should be excelling. Ick.
2. Some random guy's earring fell off and I saw it happen. I was gonna tell him but he wasn't facing and I was too awkward to actually tap him on the shoulder and be like "Hey your earring departed from it's home and followed a parabolic path to the ground where it's now situated". However, while I was debating on what I should do, he took a step back, nearly crushing the stupid thing, and I made this involuntary shouting noise like "eeaahh". He turned around and just looked at me like I had completely lost it, and instead of saying "Your earring fell off" I said "Don't step back!" And he just kept looking at me in that same, slightly apprehensive fashion, when I spat out, "Your earring is on the ground behind you!" And then I ran away. Well, after being thanked by Random Guy. WHY. WHY CAN I NOT BE NORMAL.
3. I was standing in line at a bus stop and this random middle-aged female just came up from behind me and stood in front of me like it's the most normal thing in the world. Now, it's not truly such a big deal, but the fact that she showed not a HINT of remorse at having done so, just tipped the balance a little bit. I felt like I should at least make my stance more hostile so she can 'get the vibe'. So it was all going fine as I stared vengefully at her back until she suddenly turned around. Before I could wipe that stupid pseudo-angry look off my face, she saw me and I could actually see her eyes widen and she took a step back. When the bus finally arrived, she stepped out from ahead of me and joined the end of the line. That was technically, the point of the entire endeavor- to teach the lady some rules- but I can't help thinking that my vengeful face might be haunting her for a few days now.
4. I was at this restaurant with my parents and some family friends and the waiter poured water in our glasses from this transparent jar that had some random plant in it. I had two major concerns at that point. a) That plant had grown there because the restaurant was a messy dump ( not at all really) and b) If it was meant to be there then what was it? So when the guy came back, instead of asking him directly which plant it was, I kind of mumbled "What was the plant?" He looked so confused that I nearly cried. Then I asked him he actual question. I think he thought that I had some sort of a brain defect.
That's all I can think of now :)
I don't know if that's a good thing though :O :p

PS: I don't know if I mentioned this earlier but I watched the IMITATION GAME. It was PHENOMENAL. I loved it. I'll talk about it next time!!! <3
