Awkward is the new black



Things that make me awkward:
1. I fall down sober
2. I blog from my phone while trying to ignore evryone in my class
3. I talk and make jokes...while I'm hooking up with some people
4. I tried my first egg at the age of 21 I also failed at cooking an egg yesterday
5. My list has more than two items ( and this is the short list)
So obvi awkwardness, to me, is an artform. I am pretty skilled at making every situation I get myself into as awkward as possible. So here is the cait mad awks report or rant...we'll see how it goes as I am currently sitting in the hallway of waverly 5th floor blogging from my eyefone.

So basically I have this problem where I run into people all the time and while that sounds like a good thing believe me, tis not because mostly I see the people who I either have an awkward
relationship with or who I hate and then, i always make that situation awkward for me, that person, and everyone around us. There are several categories that I put these run-ins into...

1. Girls
Not all girls but the type where its a mutual dislike and while I perfected the art of fake hellos in my all girls private high school, some people aren't worth the effort! I usually just say something totally beligerant like "suck a dick" or call them a whore and tell them that prostitutes aren't served at all about food (sidenote: I have nothing against prostitues, more power to em) I'm just telling them things they already know!

2. Boys I used to fuck
This one isnt usually bad since mostly I am friends with these dudes but there are those exceptions who end up just being forever awkward. Like when you are hooking up for awhile and they get a real gf and just forget to ever call you again until they breakup? Yeah those are weird seeing when ya dont expect it. Then it turns into a weird hello followed by running in different directions. Good times!

There are some more categories that aren't as funny when they happen like famous/people I think are famous, boys I dont call back, hookup buddys gfs and exs and people who's names I dont remember.

Are you awkward? Or do you have awkward stories that relate? Let us know! caitlin.sullivan6@gmail.com

I um agree with a lot of what you wrote. i also seem to make alot of situations awkward when they shouldn't have to be. I'm a redhead and well, that means i was just born awkward to begin with. i also have horrible luck so my luck usually leads me into awkwardness. hmmm, let's see, the other day i was getting together with an old friend, i haven't seen in a few yrs. he walks me to my garage door b/c i conveniently forgot my house key, i don't know whether to punch the code for the garage to open before of after i hug him, so i decide that while it's opening i'll hug him. he happens to be a very strong hugger, so much so, that i choked on my words thanking him again for the night, my voice raising several octaves... fun.
Also i guess i never hear people very well, so when i talk to my quiet friends i stop after the third time asking them to repeat themselves and just say "mhm!"
oh and my all time favorite is when i can't detect someone is being sarcastic or they can't detect me being sarcastic... so failed sarcasm also unfortunately leads to awkwardness. i've found alot of comfort in using the awkward turtle though, thanks to whoever invented that one. but somehow i've learned to accept awkward situations as apart of my life, since it can sometimes be a daily thing. but yeah, had fun reading what you wrote.
