As Josh awkwardly walked to the bathroom, he tripped over a book and two different TV cables, then stepped on a bag of chips and somebody's hand. In the bathroom, he tripped over the edge of a tile, fell headfirst into the toilet and drowned.
God embraces Urban Dictionary.
Awkward
The epidemic of today's world is this word. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing though. I feel that gramatically, the word does the concept justice. A double vowel and a w-k-w sandwich, with the -ard sound following (almost like lard or fart). I really love this word.
I'm not going to comment much on it, because from experience, over analyzing is never a good thing. *ahem Mr.Rooney* Actually it's not the poor chap's fault. He even agrees with me.
Now, instead of a Song of the Day (But do me a favor and look up "I Was Walking With a Ghost" by Tegan and Sara...good stuff), we have an Awkward Story.
This actually happened to me two days ago.
So i was in Starbucks with this friend of mine, Nic...
we were standing in line, but we hadn't really decided what we wanted, so we're just standing there looking up at the boards...This bald guy is in line behind us, hasn't really noticed that we're undecided so he's just staring straight ahead waiting for his turn because he already knows what he wants. Problem is, we didn't know that he was ready to order. So we're standing in front of him, taking up all the space in front of the cashier and he's waiting patiently for the kids in front of him to finish. The cashier by now is utterly confused because no one's ordering even though there are people in line. So by the time Nic and I realized he's waiting, him and the cashier have exchanged worried/confused glances, Nic still hasn't decided what he wants and I'm just confused. This continued on for a minimum of 2-3 minutes, while meanwhile some cheesy 70's Christmas song was playing in the background, the café downstairs (where we are) is completely empty, upstairs people are laughing and chatting away, having a good time, and here we are, by this time, all four of us exchanging looks like ...... o.o .........
Finally, we motioned that the guy should go before us, the cashier was beckoning him with all her might and we're just giggling behind our paws.
Gotta love moments like that.
Peace out and Tall Mango Passion Fruit Juices in WINTER :)
