and i have been through some pretty embarassing stuff before
-i mean one time in 6th grade my pants split and i had to call my mom from the front office to bring me some pants...
-i have been hit in the face TWICE with a basketball- both times during an actual game...
and both times i was knocked completely out and i woke up laying on the side of the court with a bloody nose and surrounded by people. (pardon my horrible grammar today, pls?!)
but THE embarrassing moment of my life was one i find embarrassing to even tell....
i must preface this story by mentioning that in high school i took 4 years of both German and Photography courses.
-In photography, the first 3 years I was the darling of the program.... and then senior year I had a "falling out" of sorts with my photography teacher (who literally talked shit about me to other students during classtime- no joke)
-In German, we rarely actually did classwork... mainly just played card games and watched movies. My german teacher would consistently show favoritism toward the other 3 people in my class (dude nobody was in german IV) and put me down very subtly.... either by making comments about my outifts (i was so punk rock!) or by telling me i should definitely not be proud of having a czech heritage, etc. She would literally fabricate grades for our report cards.... and she ALWAYS gave me a B or a C and everyone else an A. (which totally pissed me off!)
ANYWAY
at the end of every semester? or year?
every subject (english, german, history, etc.) would nominate one or two students from each grade for an award of excellence.....
i got a letter saying i had been awarded one and was invited to the award ceremony!
i was totally stoked because i thought maybe i was actually getting recognized for my hard work!
All my peers would be there (including john memmer who recieved stuff related to being a National Merit Scholar)...
along with my parents and a crapload of other people.
I finally get up to the stage- and my name is called:
"AMANDA MARTIN- FOUNDATIONS OF PERSONAL FITNESS"
as i was walking across the stage- i realized what the hell they just said- accepted my "medal"
and QUICKLY got off the stage and did not return to my seat....
I had just recieved a medal for excellence in P.E.... aka GYM.
instead I ran to the bathrooms in the cafeteria to let the tears of embarrassment and disappointment just go.
i called my mom on my cell phone (she was still in the auditorium) to tell her where i was and why i was there.
it took her a bit to actually coax me out of the bathroom. i was SO FREAKING embarrassed.
who gets a medal for excellence in gym?!?!?!??!
i think i still have the medal.
i kindof want to destroy it.
anyway.. thats my embarrassing story.
this is not a very "good" shot but i like the way buffy is blurry and the river of tree trunks look mountainous
wait..... so was my story pathetic or what? hahahah
