On the Road

I have had a lot of embarrassing things happen to me just by me sitting in the car. Awkward things seem to find me no matter where I am. There are the more common things for instance getting gassed out by my brother, then having to stick my head out the window so I can get fresh air. Yes people gave me a lot of weird looks, but they just don't understand.

I remember this one time I was sitting in the car waiting for my mom and there was an ambulance parked next to the car. For some reason I thought the windows were tinted, I don't know why I thought that, we had the car for years but I guess I didn't notice. So I was staring at the man in the ambulance, I remember there being something comical about the way that he was eating his food, it was like he couldn't control his sandwich. I'm there laughing with my sisters about this man then suddenly he looks up at us. We quickly duck down. This happens all the time to me. Sometimes at red lights, making eye contact with the person next to me. I have learned to live with it.

It's always funny when you see other people doing embarrassing things. I was in Bangor one day and we were right beside this huge bus, my mom and I look over to see the bus driver picking his nose, right as we look over he makes eye contact and luckily for him the light turned green and he could forget it ever happened. Seeing people picking their nose on the road is a big one. I don't what it is about driving that makes noses fill with boogers but it happens to a lot of people.

Taking a Break

It's time to take a brake on talking about all the awkward things in my life and talk about something that is more important, aliens. People don't understand, I have a huge fear of getting abducted. Have you seen The forth Kind? Aliens don't mess around they will mess up your life. Look it up on Netflix. I have watched tons of documentaries and TV shows about aliens and abduction theories. And I might just be very gullible but how can people just dismiss this evidence.

 How can we be the only living things out there? We are just a little planet in this big universe. I'm not that crazy lady that thinks there is aliens out probing people every night, but I believe in the rare occasions where the stories are true. Stories like The Forth Kind that has significant evidence or what I believe to be significant. I don't know how someone can watch this movie and not think "holy crap, there might be something to this." I'm use to people not believing stuff like this, my mom is the first person to say "that can't be real" to which I always reply "there is no way you could know that."

I have an open mind to about everything and anything. It might make me come off as weird but it would be small minded to not think there is more that meets the eye. I believe in things like Megalodon, Bigfoot, and mermaids. It gives me more things to talk about, and a lot of shows to watch to make me more obsessed with creatures of the unknown.

Day Two of My Adventures to the Outside World

Ahh here we are at day number two! This was one of the more exciting outings. This was the day I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with seven other people. And yes we went in one van. I think fitting everyone in the car was the funniest part of the night. Have you tried to fit 8 people in a van that should only seat 6? It reminded me of clowns in a tiny car. First we tried putting someone in the trunk, but that wasn't working out for us then we decided that squishing us all together would be better.

So we arrive at Buffalo Wild Wings without any injury. The guys wanted to go there so they could watch the fights, so I could tell it was going to be a long night. We started off ordering the drinks, every time I go out the same thing happens with the waiter, I couldn't hear the waiter talking so we made that awkward eye contact until I had to ask him to repeat the question. This happened all throughout the night.

One thing I hate is crowded restaurants. The section we were in was pretty crowded, and the nice gentleman at the table next to mine just had to move his seat right next to mine so he could see the TV clearly. I can tell you I had to squeeze by him every time we had to make trips to the bathroom, and with my friend with her chihuahua sized bladder, there was a lot of trips. One other thing I hate, staring. When my friend and I went up to play this game she left me alone while she went to go find more quarters, there was this whole table of old rednecks just staring at me. I had no idea why, maybe they were waiting to pounce on the game themselves. It felt more like animals circling their prey.

Well it was then almost one o'clock in the morning and it was time to head home, I am happy to say I was right about who was going to win the fights. But bad news it was my turn to sit on the floor of the van, no it's not safe at all. So I spent an hour on the van floor where I felt every bump on the way home. Then when I finally arrived home I had to walk up my ice covered driveway in the dark, just imagine a fawn trying to walk on a frozen pond.

I then downed cold medicine and went to bed.

Day One of My Adventures to the Outside World

This weekend was a busy one for me. I usually stay home and go on Tumblr for the weekends, people on there understand me, but I actually went out every day this weekend. Limiting my adventures limits the chance of publicly embarrassing myself. The system works pretty well I might say.

The first stop was my friends house which consisted of me sitting on her bed quietly while she cleaned her room. And then sitting in the kitchen awkwardly around her mom who I don't know while my friend fought with her boyfriend in her room.

When our group arrived at Chester's it was a disaster. We were the only ones in line and we were just looking at the list of all the food (menu was the word I was looking for.) You would think it would be a non stressful task, but when you have a person at the counter just staring at you and repeatedly asking you if you know what you want yet, tension starts to build. I just wanted to tell the lady that this is our first time here, we don't know what we want, and if we did we would let her know. But every time I just smiled and said "not yet."

Well we finally order and I just get a ham and cheese sub because I was just done with looking. Then they guy looks at me and said we can put other stuff on that you know, then I have all these thoughts in my head like "what is this stuff" "how do I know what you have" "can you just not criticize my ham and cheese sub" But what I said was lettuce... LETTUCE. I could of asked for pickles or really anything else  but no. There was no turning back, so I ate my ham cheese and lettuce sandwich.

I then returned home for the night, I thought that was a pretty successful night out.

Unfortunately This is Who I am

People like to think of themselves as a little socially awkward. I wish I was just a "little" socially awkward, I take it to a whole new level. I'm the kind of person who stays awake at night thinking of the stupid things I did at the Miles Lane School. For instance during my first week of school a lunch lady asked me my middle name and I told her it was Vaughn. Which happens to be my brothers middle name, to this day I don't know why I had forgotten my middle name, and that lunch lady probably still thinks my middle name is Vaughn because I sure didn't tell her differently.

 I'll never forget the time I went the bathroom and some guy said he could hear me pee, I never went the bathroom in that class ever again. All the near misses of me almost peeing my pants made me hate that kid a little more every time. Even to this day every time I go in the bathroom I think of that moment

I'm also the kind of person who avoids eye contact, but when I do accidentally lock eyes with someone I can't help but to just look at them until they decide it's gotten to weird and look away. Or If I am in a room with someone I don't know there is a 99.9% chance I won't talk that person, unless they decide to ask me a question, which I will then respond with a one word answer then go back to looking at my phone pretending I am doing something important. That is why I strongly believe in the buddy system. I would rather be awkward with a friend then all alone. Something that also amazes me is how I have friends, how did I get such weird, amazing friends if I can't even talk to people I don't know? Thank god for small towns I guess.

If you were wondering what the picture was about, it's called the socially awkward penguin, those are a couple that I felt like I could relate to.
