Embarrassing things happen, we can't avoid them, here are a few priceless ones, not saying that they ever happen to me. I just know that they happen.
1- You are walking somewhere with a friend, just chatting up a storm. When you start to feel this weirdy vibe coming from the person next to you. You look over and realize that the person standing next you isn't really the person you thought they were, but a total and complete stranger! Of course this results in an awkward stare from them and a foolish blush from you. So, where is your friend? They saw something cool and stopped walking. Not bothering to think that maybe you would have enjoyed to see the cool thing too. Instead, they leave you to the mercy of the strange person who happened to be lassoed into your ramblings about life. Uhh...sorry.
2- You know when you really have to go to the bathroom, really really bad so you run into the first stall available? Only upon finishing, do you realize that there isn't any toilet paper! What do you do? Do you ask the kind patron in the stall next to you to "Spare a square?" breaking all rules of bathroom etiquette? Or do you buck it up and drip dry? (Please note, drip drying is not always sufficient...) Good luck with that friend, now you are wishing you were more like your Granny and carried tissues in your purse. Next time, right?
3- Trying to be discrete when letting a little toot slip by only to have one of two things happen, and in some occasions both. A) It isn't a little toot and there is not way that sucker was ever going to squeak by. It might as well have rolled out the welcoming mats. B) It squeaks by, but it is one of those Silent but deadly ones, that makes every one's eyes water. Yeah, just don't let it go.
4- The following account is a true story, which did not happen to me, but I find it very funny. So you are talking to your friend, Heather, on the phone about the weird, kinda' creepy guy who is attempting to date you. You notice that this said guy is trying to call you on the other line. So, you launch into a whole discourse on how you don't want to talk to him and you think that he are weird. asking Heather "Heather, what should I do! How to I get rid of him?!" only to have the reply come from a male voice "Ummm, this isn't Heather." What! Little did you know, Heather's phone had died and in losing her call, your phone picked up his call...uh...awkward. Well, I guess you just got your wish, and you learned a very valuable lesson, don't talk smack on people!
5- You are walking across campus, when you see a boy you find to be very attractive. He looks at you and waves. You smile and wave back, resulting in him looking at you like you are a total idiot as he walks past you to give the girl behind you a hug...ouch.
Anyway, life is good. I realize that I haven't updated my blog lately. The summer is almost over! I can't believe it! Ugh! time goes by way to fast. My Job at SWCA Environmental consultants is almost done and I am sad. I have loved working for them. Seriously! The people are great. Coming to work everyday isn't too bad. I will be moving back up to Logan pretty soon. I am looking for a job up there, so if any of you have any leads, give me a holler! I would really appreciate it!
Adjusting to real life instead of mission life has been an adventure. I have come to the conclusion that life is just hard no matter what you are doing. President Monson was right, we all need to just enjoy the journey, cause there is no greener pasture than the one we are in!
Have a good week! love ya all!
