Embarrassing Story #1

So yesterday I was going to post a Close Encounter of The Real People Kind story... but then I felt bad. It was kind of an embarrassing story for that person... and I mean clearly she wasn't all that embarrassed by the story if she told it on a train loud enough that I could hear it... but idk. I felt funny telling the story because this girl is probably a nice girl and I don't want to embarrass her or anything.

And then I realized, I might as well embarrass myself. I know myself, I can give you more of a context and explain myself way better. So there is that too.

So one day when I was a Junior in high school... I was a little stressed and tired. I think I was worrying about asking someone to the prom, and I didn't end up asking him and I went to the prom alone that year (Looking AMAZING BTW) but yeah thats tough.

Anyhoo back to the story. So I was walking into school one day and I say hi to my friend and he said "Hi, Shannon." and then very politely "You do realize you're wearing two different shoes right?" And I went "Nooooooooooooooooo!" And looked down at my feet and it was true. I had one Blue Ugg Tasmin on my foot and one Black Mary Jane on the other. It was devastating. I also went to a Catholic School... so we had uniforms and I was hoping I wouldn't get detention because this is the stupid thing I would do that I'd get a detention for. Never mind that half the girls in my class had their skirts way too short, I'd be the one to get detention for wearing two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT shoes to school. Fortunately, that didn't happen. Unfortunately, I did have a presentation in Spanish Class and I really didn't want to get up in front of the whole class with two completely different shoes.

I think I must have been trying everything I possibly could to get out of presenting for Spanish... but there was no way around it. I had to get up there with my two different shoes and just hoped no one noticed.

I was up... everything was going well... and then I heard some kids laughing... and I thought Ohhhh shit. They noticed. And it was hard to get through the rest because I felt like such an idiot with two different shoes on. But we managed to finish, and right after someone went "Did you know you were wearing two different shoes." And I was like "Thanks asshole, no I had no clue." Which I didn't say but trust me... if you wear a blue ugg and a black Mary Jane people will notice and point it out.

My teacher thought it was funny. The same thing happened to her once, but the shoes were more similar. She wondered how I didn't notice since one of the shoes had a strap. The strap didn't actually strap on, there was no velcro, it was just decorative... but yeah. Kind of a big difference. I think the teacher actually liked me more after this incident.

On the positive side of all of this embarrassment? I texted my mom at the beginning of the day about it. I said "I know there is nothing you can do about this, but just so you know I'm wearing two different shoes today." And that made her laugh. She was having a very bad day because of illnesses of a friend and a family member and that made her and my grandmother both laugh. As long as it brightened their day, I was happy.

So that is it. One of my most embarrassing moments. I've had quite a few, and I don't get easily embarrassed anymore because I have no shame basically... but yeah. Lol. I'm sure there will be more.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
