Cold Hands

so i was at a gathering of friends, and i was holding a cup with ice in it.

and one of my friends went to introduce her sister to me, and i was going to shake her hand, as normal people tend to do, but as i went to extend my hand, i realized that it was really cold, and that would be rude to extend a cold hand. so i took it back. but then i had the other realization that it was rude to not shake someones hand when being introduced. so i re-extended my hand. however, at this point, she had been holding her hand out for quite a while and had already determined that i was not going to shake her hand.

i then awkwardly attempted to explain that i was very concerned about the temperature of my hand, and didnt want her to experience cold hands either.

first impressions are my forte, obviously.

Voicemail

so i had voicemail the other night. so i checked it. and it was, in a muffled tone and pretty quiet, someone talking to a pet or a dog or something saying something along the lines of "youre so cute!!! yes you are! look at you, dawww you are sooo pretty and fluffy" and such..

so naturally, i assume it is a butt dial from one of my friends who really likes pets, especially dogs.. so i called her back, and she didnt answer.

meanwhile, my other friend who is in the car with me is confused as to why i am laughing since she did not hear the voicemail, since it was on phone, and she did not listen on my phone.

so i start to tell the friend in the car why i was laughing and telling her what the voicemail said, as i call the home phone of the person who i think left me the message.

thus, as her home phone is ringing i am saying "youre so cute!! yes you are! soo pretty, soo cute look at you!" and then there is a momentary pause, where i realize the phone has stopped ringing a few seconds ago.

and this moment of silence is when i realize that her dad has answered and i have been calling him cute and pretty in a very weird voice.

the conversation was pretty short after that.

Holding the Door

so someone in front of me on the way into a building was holding the door for me, so i said thanks and went to hold it for the person behind me.

and right as they got within reaching distance of the door i tripped over the threshold into the building and stumbled halfway into the building.

coordination is one of my strong suits.

Regionals

so this weekend it was regionals, and we made it to nationals (huzzzzahhh!!) but anyway..

we played UVA on saturday, last game of the day. and afterwards, they came by to give me a pair of sunglasses for a good game.

and i was really happy about this, cause sunglasses are awesome. so i gave the two captains who had walked over hugs and waved to thier team, who waved back.

and being me im like I WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE HUGS!! so i gave a general air hug in that direction, and someone said "go give all of them hugs!!"

so i sort of start to walk that way, and im still thinking YAYY HUGS, but then as i turn to walk that way i realize that there are like 20 of them. and this would take a while. so im like "nah, i shouldnt.."

so i turn back again. and then im like no, but they gave me sunglasses, thats so nice! and then i second guessed it again (triple guessed it?) and sort of spun in another circle.

meanwhile their two captains are still sort of standing there, most likely regretting giving a pair of sunglasses to the most awkward person ever, while i spin around and have an internal conversation about hugs and sunglasses to myself.

so then the two captains walked away and i ended up waving weirdly at the rest of their team for a second time. which went splendidly.

Running Into People

so i saw one of my friends the other day who i hadnt seen in a while (like pretty much a whole year). so we were just talking and such and then i had to leave, but similiar to most times, i forget normal things like "glad i ran into you" or "nice seeing you again," so i ended up saying "im happy i had to run into you."

and then we walked away. and it was awkward.
