awkward turtle.

somehow, my awkwardness has been taken to new extremes in 2007. i have yet to remember a year that will equal this one in moments of complete and utter social retardation. my friends bear witness to this. they will usually casually laugh after a moment of silence to let the moment sink in, but only because they are utterly polite individuals and pity my ineptitude in being in social situations. i never am embarrassed by these situations, because truthfully, i just don't care. 

nevertheless, discussion of this reminded me of "awkward turtle.'' quite the charming individual, yet so very blatantly awkward that i would be forcibly choked up with anxiety when within the presence of this said individual. it may or may not have been the explicit feelings we had for one another and the inability to carry out the actions necessary to fulfill our "longings".  we swore that we would remain friends and even create a book club; however, our second tour together just presented more evidence that "awkward turtle" was rightfully named so. 

also, i believe that my awkwardness has begun to present a problem for my friends. for example: this morning, i walked into matts room to say good morning. he was there with a lady friend that he has been trying to seduce for the past year. i jump onto the bed and high-five matt for a job well done, which at the time, seemed an appropriate action for the situation. the girl however, did not enjoy the fact that i did this and now has sworn off any contact with matt stating that i am a problem.  


lastly, awkward situations have begun to haunt me. another example from the night prior since it is still fresh within my brain. i was sitting there minding my own business, as my two equally drunk ex-boyfriends barge into the room fighting about who was the better of the two. the only thing i could do was sit there, silently and awkwardly as this action took place steps from where i sat. eventually punches were thrown and i naturally laughed, which more than likely was the inappropriate response. nevertheless, that is what i do. i am awkward.
