Well, these things definitely make me cringe, but they seem unavoidable. I feel that I have above-average intelligence to some degree in certain things. I understand complex things, things that require deep thinking. I'm also booksmart (as it should be because I read...a lot). I'm very intuitive. I'm emotionally intelligent.

That said, I struggle in everyday simple things, the common sense things, the jokes that everyone else gets all the while I'm the one busting out laughing minutes later because I just got the joke. I could seriously get lost in my own house. My head is always in the clouds, it seems.

I've heard it said quite a bit, starting from back when I was a child, that for someone who is so smart, I'm also very ditzy.

This reminds me of something my ex husband would always say. If I heard it once, I heard it a thousand times...he would laugh and say "it's okay, just sit there and look pretty". He may have been on to something there, lol.

Also, no matter how hard I try to be graceful, there are just those times when I'm incredibly clumsy. Like, walk face first into a wall clumsy, trip over invisible things in a room full of people clumsy.

I'm okay at expressing myself in the written word. I'm not the best conversationalist. I'm a very quiet person with spurts of talking when the subject is something interesting to me, or something that I'm passionate about, or upset about, and then afterward, I mostly wish I would have just kept to my quiet self, anyhow.

So, there you go, the cringeworthy, flakey, ditzy, aloof, smart girl who is impossible to have a conversation with, heh.

but we still love you, and that's all that counts dear :)

Your ex husband sounds like a dick. And that comes from me. But then again, I'm a :heart:able dick.

Awe...

Okay, okay, you got me. I am pretty darn loveable, but it's not the best part. The best part is that I am loving. *smile*

Lol... yes, Pmann, I suppose he was. It didn't make him any less loveable in my eyes. It was just who he was. And it certainly wasn't the reason why I chose to leave him. I don't regret that decision, however, only that my marriage had to end.
 
It's simple again today. What embarrasses you the most? What if/when it happens makes you cringe. Not something that you're a little uncomfortable but rather something that you try to avoid at all costs.

Hearing other people saying something totally incorrect or inappropriate in a social setting or at work: it's a kind of embarrassment by proxy.
I do all the dumb things everyone else does, like falling over invisible stuff ( All 4 Love ) or rocking tables covered by full drinks glasses.
Farting... especially the ones where you have to walk away from the scene because they smell so bad, then having to distract someone so they don't walk into it, but without making it seem like you're distracting them... but then it's mostly the fear of discovery. Once the oink has been pinned to me I just shrug and *pfft*
 
Hmm...okay! Hugs you right back! *big hug*

Pmann, what does that mean, anyway? Remember, I'm a ditz. You have to explain things to me, spell them out, sometimes very slowly. Hehe :)

It took me to read the chalk board behind the little guy to finally get it.
 
I'm a complex human. Not everyone gets me.

And for those who still don't get it... I was calling DarkSimian a White Knight.

Yes, I see. But in reference to me? No. Perhaps, you meant someone else. I don't think he meant it that way. And I have not carried myself here in that way at all. Although, I'm not above admitting that there have been times in my life that I desperately needed one; he just never showed up at the right time.

Complex? Aren't we all? Okay, so some of us more than others. ;)

And, yes, definitely what Stickygirl said. The other "f" word. I can't even say it or type it. It has to be THE most embarrassing thing on the planet! No way, no how, would I ever, in front of anyone!!! And if by accident, I die from embarrassment every single time. Now, when someone else does it? I'm practically on the floor laughing. It's the most hilarious thing. Yes, my sense of humor is a bit off.
 
^^^^
And to be clear, I was just having a go at DarkSymian. I wasn't (intentionally) being a dick, in case it came across that way.

Hmmmm. Good question.

There are a few things that make me feel less than stellar.

Dropping food on my boobs while I'm eating embarrasses me. I hate getting stains on my clothes. :rolleyes: Every thing else, I can play it off. ;)

I'm an enigma wrapped in a mystery.



And Bane reminds me of Kurt Cobain who was married to Courtney Love who was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon. Boom. From ConAir to Kevin Bacon in less than six degrees.
Why do I always get enigmas and enemas mixed up? :confused:
...cause for embarrassment :eek:

so I speed-read that as an enema wrapped in misery
 
What truly embarrasses me? What do I strive to avoid at all costs?

When I say something and it is taken out of context or twisted into something it was never meant to. The emotionless pixels on a screen cannot convey my complete lack of malicious intent. I read and reread things often. Sometimes I don't see it. I hear it in my head and it sounds innocent, playful, poignant yet it does not read that way. Even in this post, I was going say something regarding another post today, but I opted not to. It sounded funny, but I've just grown too gun shy at this point and found it to be not worth it. Something I continue to work on and likely always will.

Therefore, I'm looking to hire a Lit proofreader. As much as I self-censor, another set of eyes would be most welcome. Pay is not great, but the benefits are decent. Serious inquires only.
 
Sex toys on the night stand will always do it.
My kids are too old to try and explain why there is a dildo standing tall and proud next to my lamp.
I can handle about anything else.
A coffee spill - nothing.
An accidental slip of a fart - "opps" and blush a bit.
 
What embarrasses me most is being taken out of context due to my own failure to properly communicate or a difference in perspectives of others. Thus, I don't speak unless I have carefully weighed what I'm about to say. That applies both here and in rl
