hah Gnat that's funny!

Most awkward moment I've had recently... So my brother is 2 years older than me. Anyway, He asked me to give him a ride to his friends house since he couldn't take the car. The only words said were Directions, such as "turn left here". Oh my gosh I was going to explode.. I felt sooo weird.. my mood went from to right when he got in the car. I haven't felt so gloomy in forever!! I'm such a happy-go person too, haha. Anways, the last conversation I had with my brother started with me yelling at him and it ended with both of us in tears. It was about a hour or so discussion... that was.. several months ago, heh.

It's sad really.. It's practically like he's not my brother.. ah well I have 3 other ones! But the oldest I don't consider as much of a brother either . I'm much closer to my 4 sisters though.

Anyone ever experienced when you're walking with a friend and you suddenly hold hands in accident?

So the other day, my guy friend was walking me to my Psychology class. We were talking about Chemistry stuff when accidentally, our hands bumped into each other and held hands for a split second [and trust me, it's nothing special, I totally don't see him that way--let's just say I'm one of the guys]. As a reaction, I put both of my hands together and made weird gestures [like I was applying lotion to my hands] and he suddenly goes and says, 'What?! I washed my hands!' and I then remembered that he went to the bathroom before walking me to class. O_O Lordeh.

Yeah, what can I say.. awkward much?

Sometimes someone will come in after me and sit near me and they'll never say anything or I'll never say anything. And I just sit in my chair and squirm.

Lol, that's what I do. I hate stopping to make conversation because I never know how to get away! Then we both end up standing there in a long awkward silence..... *crickets*

So whenever I pass someone I know I just think: Don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact...

Best way to avoid eye contact with someone is pretend you're searching for a song on your ipod orrr texting on your phone. I've mastered that. But I normally just wave and say Hi and keep walking 'cause I never have time to stop and chat. The beauty of college is you hardly see the same person all the time unless they're in your class.

Oh and that "accidentally bumping hands" thing happens to me AALLL the time, haha. Sometimes my friends and I will just joke and grab hands when that happens and swing our arms back and forth orrr I say "trying to hold me hand or something?! =P" and we just laugh. Or i'll whack the back of my hand against their arm. Or then the common "whoops, sorry." and I walk with my arms in front of me, my hands clasped together for a few min.

I don't have an ipod or a [cell] phone so I usually just look down or around.

oh man.. bummer. Yeah, looking around or at the floor works too hehe.

I had an awkward moment today.

I was at the library and my brother kept asking me to help him search for books. I told him not to bother me and he walked away. After a minute or two, as I was reading a book, someone wearing an orange shirt walked towards me, so I turned and said "Go there to find your books".
Then, I found out that he was not my brother. The person was looking at me in a funny manner and I quickly walked away. Thankfully, I didn't shout at him or something.
