Shared Awkwardness

Here are everyday awkward predicaments that you all (probably... hopefully? or is it just me?) know to be true.

1. Interruptions
   Some of the most awkward moments are those when you are in a (seemingly everlasting) conversation and you want to say something but you don't want to interrupt. Finally, you hear a pause and start to interject, but alas- THEY ARE NOT FINISHED TALKING. So you get the death stare and the caterpillar eyebrow, and they try not to sound rude when you are actually the one being rude, and then (i have a feeling this will be a very long run-on sentence derp derp derp) you just awkwardly stand there and typically, one out of two of these things happens:
     A) you spend the rest of the conversation trying to remember what you're going to say and then               when you are FINALLY, ABSOTIVELY, POSOLUTELY sure that their thought/sentence is             over, you say your thought, but by then the conversation has completely steered off the previous topic that you wanted to talk about in the first place.
     B) You're still on the same topic, but then you FORGOT WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY! And that always sucks because you almost always remember it hours later when it is least relevant.

2. Braces ALWAYS.
    Ah, braces, where do I start? It is impossible not to be awkward when braces are existent in your mouth. Here is a few things that everybody with braces knows to be true.
  1.) Eating. Every time I try to eat something (which is important, as you probably know, to maintaining your... um... existence on planet earth. Your life. Your... not-dying.), there seems to be a little chasm in between the front of my braces and the back of my lower lip, and it is a food hog. I swear, yummy chicken? Oh, I guess I'll just skip that, because I WON'T BE ABLE TO EAT IT WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE AN IDIOT. I can never eat anything of any substance whatsoever in public because I'll just look completely rude while I'm nonchalantly picking food out of my mouth. Like an ape. There is a time and a place to do this- and that is when you're three years old. agggghhh
  2.) When they get caught on things- the worst! I have a brand new sweater that I got for my thirteenth birthday last week (I'm wearing it right now!) and there was a loose thread. I didn't have any scissors on me so I tried to bite it off... let's just say I had to do some minor sweater surgery after all of it got all up in mah braces.

okay that's all for now, my peeps... I will definitely try to post more because I got a new laptop yayyy and will most likely be using it incessantly (or at least whenever I can hahahah). So yay! Au revoir.

My Songwriting Career (adlfaesdolkasd)

Even as a six year old, I was an aspiring songwriter. I was also at the top reading group (we weren't ranked or anything, but of course EVERYBODY knew which was the smart and which was the dumb group.), and valued my vocabulary. Sometimes I blanked on the meanings of the words. But, as my imaginary friend Julie once told me (she was a mouse), "A good songwriter never says if she doesn't know something. 'Cause then people know that she doesn't know something."

My best friends Sarah (you know her from the Fluffy story) and Oliver and I got together to write a song called "Single Apple" that Sarah and I would sing. It went like this: "Single apple on the tree, everything's better with you and me." Sarah added on:
"Single apple on the ground, everything's better when you're around."
"No," I interjected. "Everything's better when you're abound."

Well that didn't make sense.
ermmmmm


Here are some links- please click on them!!!!!

The first one is called "The Big Bang"
I made it in first grade with my best friend Oliver about the Big Bang. It has about seventy-six views and as you'll see, VERY accurate information.
