This is my life story. I live an awkward live with periods or fleeting moments where things appear normal...and then reality hits and its not normal anymore. I am awkward in the morning, in the afternoon, and even before I go to bed at night (even if I am sleeping alone). I'm awkward during meetings at work (and I have to run them), on the treadmill at the gym, or even at a bar when I'm slightly intoxicated. Now, I think it is fair to say that there are times I am good at hiding this awkwardness (say at work at times...although my coworkers (and clients) would agree to the fact that there is nothing normal about me) but for the most part my awkwardness shines bright. This was the cause of bright red faces when teachers called on me at school or the dreaded part where you had to blow out those damn birthday candles on the cake. God forbid dating....I remember my first awkward kiss in the back of a minivan (we're not counting my kindergarden kiss at the Halloween party) or the first time I got a dozen roses (I was 15 years old..it was at school in the hallway for our MONTH ANNIVERSARY. Needless to say I shoved them in my locker and went about my day. Now thats not to say with age I haven't gotten better with accepting gifts from boyfriends (you better believe I graciously snagged that Tiffany's necklace my EX gave me for Christmas one year) but that does not mean I'm still overly weird about it. Compliments....I do not know what to do with them. You look pretty...thanks? I tend to change the subject..ignore them..look out the window...find a bug to kill..anything to get off of the subject of ME. Which is interesting because I love to talk maybe even sometimes about myself...also I am a Gemini, thus we are outgoing (true), crazy (also true), selfish (possibly?), but I dont like others talking about me to me..thats just weird! I'm also an only child (I know, I know...omg you must be such a spoiled brat?!). Unfortunately...but fortunately I grew up with two wonderful (but slightly annoying) cousins that lived next door to me. Everything they got (or didn't get) I got (or didn't get). So living life as a 24 year old awkward girl is slightly difficult. Thank goodness I have had my friends forever because new friends would think I'm a nut job (true story...right friends?). Dating is pretty much out of the question for me...dinner with someone I do not know?? Are you crazy? I mean they will definitely try to kill me and chop me up into little pieces and shove me into their freezer..Jeffrey Dahmer style. So I go about my life in my Awkward Angie way. I'm glad I have friends to take crazy trips to places such as NYC with me to navigate through my awkwardness!
