Okay... so I actually don't do the whole "ubes," "totes," "awk" stuff... but I like saying "ubes awk" together. Plus, it totally describes my social life. I need to learn better social skills. I totally SUCK at making friends. Whenever I open my mouth to a stranger I just end up embarrassing myself.
1)
Two days ago we were walking to lunch, and there were these two girls behind me. They saw the food and one said "That looks good." And the other girl said "You look good," in a totally seductive way. I thought it was funny and that she was just joking around. So I turned around laughing and said "Ha! That was funny!" ...Only to notice that they were holding hands. They were lesbians. And the one girl wasn't joking when she said that seductively. So then I just looked really awkward and rude. I don't support homosexuals, but I'm not against them. I accept them. But what happened just made me look like a completely prejudiced freak. It was awful.
2)
And last night there were these guys on the bus discussing the music they were singing (I assumed in All-State). I was sorta half-asleep, but I was listening anyway. (Oh, and the guys were cute. Which made it double awkward.) They named a few songs and were like "Does anyone remember what the other song we're singing is?" And I knew the All-State choir was singing Daemon, but he hadn't mentioned it. So after a while I decided to speak up and said "It's Daemon. You're singing Daemon." And he looked at me and said "No, another choir. Our choir at home." And then he turned away. He was really polite about it, and I'm sure it doesn't even matter, but still... he was cute. And I felt like an idiot. I need social skill lessons.
3)
And then today after the concert Challis and I were walking back to the gym as the band and orchestra kids were walking to the auditorium. And we passed a guy (across a field) who had the same bright red cello case I have! So I yelled at him "Hey! I have that same cello case!" And apparently he didn't hear me, so I said it again. And then he DEFINITELY heard me. And he looked at me and said "...sweet" in a really annoyed, uninterested voice. I was so embarrassed because everyone was looking at me. I even embarrassed Challis. So yeah. I was pretty bad. Ughhh...
Ughh!
WHY CAN'T I BE NORMAL!
