Cue the Cringing! It’s Awkward Moments Day!

I am the queen of awkward moments.

The other day (Once upon a time) I was working at the store, and someone decided to make me use a ladder. All was going well until I decided that I would just.... step backwards off the ladder. From NOT the bottom step. CUE VERY LOUD FALLING NOISE!

So that's like a level one cringe. the part that made it a level five cringe is that as I'm there, laying on the floor in the silence that has dropped over the whole store, my gut instinct was NOT to laugh and be like, It's cool guys. I'm alive.

No. My gut instinct was to let out a guttural ROAR.

AUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHHHGHGHGH!

I'M SCREAMING

So just imagine, you're shopping at Kards. It's a lovely weekend day, and you're giggling to yourself about the instant underpants we sell (one of the TWO varieties we have in stock). And then you hear a large crash of doom. And then, a SCREAM THAT SOUNDS LIKE DEAMONS ARE COMING OUT OF SOMEONE'S THROAT.

Cas thinks I'm a little crazy. But he'd never tell me. He's too nice.

Yeah. That's awkward. and possibly scary. But mostly awkward, because some girl just stopped the whole store in their tracks by Rage Roaring.

This is just one VERY SMALL instance of me being an awkward person. I have many MANY stories. In fact, sometimes, in my darkest moments I sit in a dark corner and think of all the very painfully awkward things I have done. The good news is that my life is not a Will Ferrell movie yet. But it might be a little Zoolander.... :/ Yeah. That's a little awkward.

But you know what? I'm okay with that.
We're all a little awkward, aren't we?
Right?
Guys. Right?
Oh. It's just me? Well..... that's awkward.
