Writer's Block: Red-faced and ruddy

I embarrassed myself as a child on a regular basis, which probably led to me becoming the inhibited self-preserving specimen I am today! Oh let's see, a toss up between the day I had to go pee SO BAD that I had an accident while we were doing jumping jacks in gym class (and pee ran down my leg... I remember this day as everyone being ushered out of the room as the room flooded with pee... no joke, I can still picture the ocean of pee in my memory! Clearly I couldn't have peed that much so my imagination must have taken over when someone drew attention to my predicament) ... or perhaps the day I tripped on the sidewalk walking down the street to my friend's birthday party, right in front of her house, my dress flew up and everyone saw my underwear and laughed at me, I turned around and ran home... or maybe when I was a little older, middle school, being forced to do a debate in which I was the person fielding questions from the other team and I had absolutely no clue as to how to prepare, and my answers consisted of "um, I dunno" and it went on FOREVER and I wanted to switch schools after that but my parents wouldn't let me... LOL.

Fast forward about 10 years from that, and it was the day I had utterly convinced myself that I could get my jerkface boyfriend back if only I TOLD him everything I was FEEEEEELING and how AMAZING he is... he agreed to meet me and hear me out, and he let me go on and on basically begging him to take me back, promising to change, all that shiz... for him to just coldly tell me it was too late, he was in love with the whore he left me for. Okay, maybe this one should win "most humiliating day"!

._. Holy cat toys Batman.... I... don't even know where to start in the mockery.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I make it too easy!

Oh and the guy that slaughtered me in the debate enjoyed it so much he joined the high school team and won honors and crap (he mentioned in an interview for the school paper that that debate was the one that sparked his interest in it, lol).

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

It's... like the door to my mockery center is clogged with so many ways of mocking that there is no room for any of them to get out!

I see. I guess he owes you big time for your effort in making him the great debater that he is.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You're welcome? LOL.

He does! I recently met up with an old high school friend of mine and she said she dated him in college. Said he was egotistical and self-absorbed. I had to tell her that story. She didn't remember my failtastic debate! But I don't remember for sure if she was in that class. My memory sucks.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Now I have to work harder at unclogging my brain.

Most debaters are egotistical and self-absorbed... that's how they can argue both sides of an issue. It's b/c they think they're always right.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I can see both sides of most things. It's the Puff in me!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Really? I thought it was because you're just indecisive.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I'm indecisive if all sides have merit!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

That's usually the case for any argument; both sides have valid points or there would be no need for a debate.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yes but some people *coughmybrothercough* have strong opinions about everything and tend not to even consider the other side at all.

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Well, those people are loss causes. Its better to leave them to their own selves and look at the falling snow up in the sky.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Being opinionated is not necessarily a bad thing. And what is this snow of which you speak?

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

It is if you ignore common sense just to justify your own opinions.

Come over here and see this snow for yourself.

No snow here but... it's supposed to RAIN today and tomorrow. And today is Annual Scrub Out the Litterboxes day. Which involves being OUTSIDE where there's supposed to be warm sunshine to dry everything quickly. I don't think this has ever happened to me before!

It's overcast right now... do I start the project and hope the rain holds off? Do I wait until tomorrow and see if tomorrow is sunny? Or by doing that do I risk everything being all WET because it's already rained and will rain some more? What a dilemma!

I don't want to put it off until next weekend because I'm very anal about when I change my litter (plus I might be working, don't know yet). So it's now or next month, and next month will be BUSY. Gah.

How do people deal with this rain stuff??

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I can laugh about them much later! That is one blessing of age :)

I got it done, the rain held off until late at the party and by that point the crowd had thinned out enough that we all fit on the patio, it was nice!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah I didn't want them hanging over my head, especially when I was feeling productive!

:P :P :P

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

How do we deal with this rain stuff? We sacrifice a first born babe to the flying spaghetti monster in the sky to keep the rain away.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

At the party you could tell who came in from Chicago (all wearing Tshirts) and who was from Arizona (wearing jackets and hoodies). I actually did neither but was wearing long sleeves and parked by a heat lamp :) And the rain was kind and held off 'til nighttime!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

So... you're not as big a wuss as other AZ people? Grats?

[caffeinatedkate.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor you. I remember discovering you share my weird fear of public toilets so total sympathy.
In my primary school I had one "safe" cubicle I could use, if I couldn't get into that one, I wasn't using another. *Shudders*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I'm okay with some public toilets - but I've never used an airplane toilet, that's what I REALLY have an aversion to! Generally I try to time things so I'm always using either my own toilet or work's.

Hey, my childhood/teenage years were the same thing. That's just part of growing up!

And I love your icon! You have died from LOLZ. Oh man, I miss that game. There's gotta be a flash version on the internet somewhere...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

There is indeed! I've played it a few times:

I had to download something to get it to play but had no trouble with it.
