Just had one Saturday that completely messed up my marathon writing weekend. <br /><br />For me, the Big Embarrassing moment (yes, there was one prior to getting my boyfriend's nut stuck in my braces) was in 9th grade. I had a pimple on the tip of my nose.<br /><br />First, my nose isn't exactly cute and pert. Second, this wasn't a pimple, it was a newborn volcano about to erupt. And third, my parents refused to let me stay home that day. I had to endure the Rudolph and Brunhilda jokes. <br /><br />Oh, it gets worse. <br /><br />I could see the damn thing, dangling off the end of my nose and nearly went blind, crossing my eyes. At one point, dizzy from being unable to focus, I walked into a door and it just exploded. I mean, I looked like an extra from a Freddy Kruger movie. <br /><br />I spent the rest of the school day in the nurse's office trying to hide the fact that I was squeezing the life out of the zit while the nurse was trying to stop the blood flow. <br /><br />Ah, memories. Probably the first time I've admitted to liking something about being over 40.Patty Blounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928111057602279792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-6310233166678784362010-06-02T10:56:20.792-07:002010-06-02T10:56:20.792-07:00There is nothing funny about migraines.

We each sat leaning back on our hands, one leg straight out along the ground, one knee bent.<br /><br />My top, however, was the only one rendered see-through by the sunlight. I am totally silhouetted. It's not flattering.CKHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741681893677604323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-5964737256239407612010-06-02T09:22:08.522-07:002010-06-02T09:22:08.522-07:00Aren't puking stories the best?

When I was a pre-teen I had a campout at my friend's house with 10 other girls or so...<br />We decided to make waffles at the crack of dawn and I'm pretty sure they weren't cooked--at all. So later in the day someone had the awesome idea of walking around one of our giant local malls. <br />I started to feel the sweat bead almost immediately but one of my "friends" decided that her t-shirt browsing was more important than rushing me to the restrooms. By the time I hit the food court it was high noon and jammed packed with people. As soon as I hit that corner Cinnabon the smell took over. It was instant vomit release. I panicked and tried catching it my hands but immediately realized that was a terrible idea.<br />So that was released for a second round of spatter... <br />I kid you not even the paid piano player stopped to turn around. It was pretty much the worst day of my life. ( I threw away my favorite sweatshirt that day)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737620211363427992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-10906056629187982222010-06-02T09:20:27.720-07:002010-06-02T09:20:27.720-07:00Tawna,

I'm still laughing si...Aw, that's terrible! I'm still laughing since I really can't help myself, but I'm so sorry about your 8th grade embarrassment! OMG, such a horrible age for that to happen.<br /><br />I forget the embarrassing things I do, but no one else does, which is what happened when someone reminded me of an incident I had in 1st grade. I know, 1st grade. I should be over it by now, but I'm not. Not really! I was sitting in my desk after recess. I'd had SO much fun running around and being a wild child that I forgot to go to the bathroom.<br /><br />Bathroom breaks during class were a no-no, so I couldn't ask to go (or thought I couldn't). I tried to hold it, I really, really did, but finally my little bladder caved and emptied itself all over the floor around my desk. No one saw. I figured "I can take care of this and no one will ever know!"<br /><br />So, I quickly developed a very bad case of the sniffles. Nonchalantly went to the front of the class to get some tissue and sniffled my way back to my desk and accidentally "dropped" all of the tissues in my puddle. Yeah, so it was a bad idea. I was caught by a tattle-tale, no-good, nosy, teacher's pet student and had to call my grandfather to come get me. <br /><br />Nearly thirty years later and that story still makes me blush with embarrassment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-9338814525245555082010-06-02T09:20:00.631-07:002010-06-02T09:20:00.631-07:00I s'pose somebody should throw up a comment he...I s'pose somebody should throw up a comment here...hehe, whoops.
