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.
