In Middle School I crashed head-on into this guy in the hallway, cuz I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going. It was embarassing, but I said sorry and kept moving. There was also the time when I was at a friend's bday party a few years ago and we were running around the room playing some game or another. Well, her little bros. were playing and one of them was real small; maybe 4ish. So as I was frantically trying to run away, my elbow collides with his forehead and he bursts out crying. They said he was okay, but that didn't stop me from feeling embarassed...

Lol, I remember that. Since my locker was closest to the band room in 8th grade, marshmallow and another friend of mine always wanted to put their flutes in my locker before the next class period and one time I was a bit overwhelmed with stuff and the boy who had a locker under mine was gettin' his own stuff out and...I ended up dropping my clarinet on him. The case burst open and all the parts flew out...the clarinet was ok, and he even helped me pick them up...but ever since then he never talked to me, but he never talked to me much in the first place anyways...lol. I was embarrassed at the time but now when I think of that time I laugh.

I remember that.
Yesterday, a teacher asked me a question and I heard him wrong and said no when I should have said yes. These girls were cracking up it was pretty embarrassing.

Eh...yesterday when my Spanish teacher was callin' on random people to read their answers aloud and she called on me I kept looking around thinking she was talking to the girl behind me because she didn't say my name and after a while of me bein' a dummy, she looked up my name and I finally got the point...lol.

I was staying at my brother's and his wife's fixed trailer for the summer a few years back. It was about 1 in the morning and they had already gone to bed. I had just gotten done playing some video games and was heading to get some sleep on my own. I have to point out now that I had a bathroom adjacent to my bedroom, which is on the other end of the trailer. Anyways, I got done with my business and noticed that the toilet wasn't stopping properly. "Oh well, I can fix this. I don't need any help," I remember thinking. Famous last words. I pulled the top off the toilet and noticed the pipe and a small piece of dangling chain. Looking in, I saw the other portion on the bottom near the suction hole. I thought maybe if I twisted the pipe enough, I could get the two to hook on. Looking back, the lengths of the two chains at the time would never possibly reach each other no matter how much I twisted, but something was clouding my mind. Anyways, I twisted a little bit too hard, and the cap on the pipe popped off and a geyser of water literally shot up and hit the ceiling. I just stood there looking blankly at it for a second and thought, "Oh, that's not supposed to happen." I at first tried to reach out with my hands and hold it down, but then I came to my senses before I touched it and thought, "What the heck am I doing?" I placed the cover back on the toilet and held it there, all the while calling out for my brother and shouting that we had a problem. I kept repeating it over and over again like a parrot. Finally, my sister-in-law woke up and nudged my brother, thinking that she heard me yelling. Of course, he was pretty much out cold, but he when he came down the hall and looked in, he was like, "What in the world...?" I shouted, "Turn off the water! Just turn off the water!" He finally got the water turned off, and it took me the next half hour or so to mop up all the water on the floor and that had seeped into the vents. Needless to say, I learned a lesson in plumbing...call a plumber.

*can't breathe* That was incredibly smooth of you Nova. In regards to household items I've destroyed our washer before...Apparently I stuffed it too full of clothes (I was having a bad day...gimme a break) and later one of my little sister yells up that there's smoke so I run downstairs and sure enough there's smoke all over the place and the source of it is the washer. I shut it off, called my dad, he told me to wait til he got home, and when he got to fixing it, it turned out I had completely fried this thing that made it run so it was a lost cause. o.o; We got a new washer though (ours was really old anyways)...lol, and I didn't get in trouble. ;D

We just got a new washer within the last year. I was really sad to see the old one go since we'd had since I was a baby. I remember one time, I think it was my little brother, put too much soap in and we flooded the laundry room with suds.
Here's another extremely embarrassing moment. I was in Junior High and we just got done with PE. Anyways, I remember it had to be in 7th grade because the 7th grade guys used the girls locker room to get changed (I think you can see where this is going...). Anyways, I was the last one to get down there and the guys were standing outside of the door. Well, they told me there were girls in there getting changed (for a volleyball game, I think. I don't remember if they told me that or if I found out later). I was pretty gullible at that age (still am to some extent, actually), and I just thought they were pulling my leg. Yeah...well...I'll let you fill in the rest of the details, and needless to say my face was beet red and I heard about it for weeks to come.

LOL! That must've been a hard one to live down. One of my friends still brings this up every now and then...: Back when I played softball I was getting ready to go bat and started to put my helmet on. Well, I didn't really pay any attention whatsoever to what in tarnation I was doing and accidentally put it on backwards...All I can say is I'm glad she's the only who saw it, but of course she went around telling everybody. Heh...good times...good times.
Then there was also the time in 3rd grade when I was at softball practice and it had just stormed the night before so there was a big mud puddle in the field. I think I was playing either center field of 2nd base, and of course my coach hit a pop fly. Well, I went running backwards and forgot about the puddle. Next thing I knew I was sliding in the mud and landed on my rear. I was one mud caked 3rd grader after that... I didn't even catch the ball.

I was in a class last year with my laptop, and of course it was giving me problems (I eventually had to reformat the stupid thing... ). Anyways, I was trying to get it to work, and I thought maybe a hardware test would fix it. Let me point out that first, it was a software problem, so I didn't need to do a hardware test. Second, I WAS IN CLASS. Part of the hardware test is testing the sound. I think we can see where this is going, too. Anyhow, it let out a loud beeping sound during the lecture, and everybody turned to me and I don't think my face could get any redder. The only saving grace is that it was a very small class.

A couple of weekend ago, I was in the library working on my story for journalism and I turned some music on and I had a friend sitting next to me and another guy on the other side, and she started singing this song REALLY bad I might add. The guy on the other side of me was like "What the heck" and she kept on singing. I was embarrassed for her. I did tell her to shut up once, but she kept on singing.

It was the first week or so of my freshman year of college and I had just gotten done with one of my math classes, which was the last class of the day. My teacher asked me if it was, and I said yes and something else was said afterwards, which I don't remember. I replied that my stupid English tutorial class had been moved from Friday to Thursday, which was a major inconvenience. I turned to walk out the door and saw the English teacher standing in the doorway. The moment I saw her, both my hands went to my mouth in a gasp and my eyes were as large as dinner plates. I think she found it humorous, but she told me she didn't like hearing the words "stupid" and "English" in the same sentence. Not one of my better moments (and a great way to start off the school year).

You talkin' about Frogster, Jupiter? I heard her singin' the national anthem at the assembly and it sounded better than my singing for sure. o.o; And that was some smooth talkin' you did back there Nova, lol. Anyways, this isn't embarrassing for me, but it's definitely embarrassing for Marshie. Me 'n her were in our parents room trying to print stuff on their computer because their printer rocks while ours leaves a lot to be desired, and I had the chair and she was at my side leaning over so she could see the screen. Well, she has a tendency to drool occassionally, ya know, just lets the saliva go and doesn't swallow it, but anyways...all of a sudden something wet hits my leg and you guess what she had done. She had drooled on me! I screamed in disgust/surprise and my parents were watching a tv show so they were kinda like o.O and I ran out of the room to me and my sisters' bathroom to get some paper towels and my dad thought I was limping so he followed to check on me until I explained the situation. I was just hobbling along trying not to let the drool spread. It was nasty. Lol. Now I find it hilarious though. lol.

And how long ago was this?
This isn't so much an embarrassing moment as it was just a surprise. I was working security for my school last year, and I was on rounds from 2-6 in the morning. Basically, all I do on that shift is go and unlock the buildings, make sure everything is okay, etc., etc. Anyways, we have a really small campus so stuff rarely happens. It was about 4:30 in the morning when I went by the gym to unlock it. I go and unlock the girls locker room and when I walked in there was someone sleeping on the gym mats on the floor! The locker rooms have two entrances, and the other one can't be locked (don't ask me why we lock the first one anyways, there are things we do at this school that I just can't explain). I wasn't expecting anyone to be in there, so it scared the snot out of me. Anyways, long story short, I woke her up and sent her back to her dorm and that was it.

It was this past Tuesday or Wednesday, or at least some time this week, and that's what's sad about it...and funny.
