Today, I was speaking with one of my good friends, Katy. She has a photographic memory and has almost every line from every Harry Potter movie memorized. Our conversations usually begin with me saying something like, "Do that line, you know the one from Goblet of Fire? The one in the tent? Victor I love you..." Katy then promptly finishes, "Victor I do, when we're apart my heart beats only for yoooooou!" And then she spouts out each and every line preceding and following the aforementioned line. She's pretty amazing.
But getting to the point (because apparently there must be one) Katy and I got to talking about awkward moments. Not embarrassing moments, mind you, really awkwardly strange times. Awkward moments can be embarrassing, but awkward moments differ in that they don't make you sneak off to your car to cry like some embarrassing times have done for me. (So, I cry. Big deal.) I enjoy recounting awkward moments, while I can only appreciate the embarrassing times long after they have occurred. For example, one time I saw my middle-aged, butch (though female) math teacher at the gynecologist. I didn't feel shameful at seeing her, but it was truly, awfully, awkward. SO PEOPLE, I have solicited you to regale me with some of your most awkward moments. Did you walk in on your crush, Cho, while she was staring at a picture of her beloved dead boyfriend whose death you witnessed? Did you then promptly make-out with her? Share with me people, and we will partake of awkwardness together.

Oh yeah, I've done some stuff for my school newspaper's website. Check it out here.
1 things people have said about this:
Boy do I have one for you. There is this woman, at my church, that is the grand poobah (more like headmistress) of the youth program. I heartily dislike her, but it's mutual so it's all good. Since all of the contacts in my phone are Harry Potter characters (bien sur!), naturally I put her in as Dolores Umbridge. I drive her two daughters to school every day and one of them asked to borrow my phone to text her mom. She said that my phone was weird, because she typed her mom's number in and some weird name popped up. I told her my contacts sitch and the other one asked "Oh, which character is she?" I replied "...I can't really remember...some kind of professor..."
