Why Me

Anyone else used to subscribe to Seventeen Magazine JUST to read the "why me" section in the back? I don't think I ever really flipped through an entire magazine, I only flipped directly to the "why me" stories. Gosh, I just loved them!!


So anyways....if y'all remember, they were always embarrassing stories that we mortifying to us teenagers! I always wanted to write a personal experience and send it in so I could see it published...never did=(

Anyways... I want to share a funny story with y'all but first.. lets reminisce a bit..

"For winter break, I went up north to learn how to snowboard, and it turned out that my instructor was a major cutie, so I was even more excited! But just when I started to do well, I fell on my butt in the middle of the snow. I started crying because it hurt so bad, but to make everything worse, the cute instructor came up right behind me and smiled at me in a 'You’re pathetic' kind of way."


"I was in the drugstore with my best friend buying tampons, and we were debating on which ones we liked better. Right as my crush walked by we crouched down, thinking he didn't see us, but then he turned the corner and came up to us and said, 'Wow, I only thought girls were like this when they were shopping for shoes!' It was so embarrassing!"


"One day I was outside playing with my twin brother in our swimming pool. He was chasing me around, and so I got out and ran over to the front yard. Finally, he caught me and he reached out to grab me by my pants, but he accidentally pulled them off and I tripped into the mud with NO pants on. As my brother was walking over to say sorry, I noticed one of the cute guys from my school taking a picture of me with his phone. He ended up showing the picture to everyone at school! I was mortified!" 


"I'm the captain of the varsity cheerleading squad, and at one of our games my friend Maria told me that part of my cheer uniform skirt was stuck in my spanky pants! I quickly pulled it out and looked around to make sure nobody saw it, but the entire football team was laughing hysterically!"


"Last winter I was over at my friend's house and we were bored, so we decided to go in her hot tub. We went skinny-dipping since it was so cold outside and the hot tub was superhot. Afterward, we decided to go jump in the snow outside. Well, what we didn't know was that my crush lived on her street and was out taking a walk. So, when we ran to the front yard and jumped in the snow, he totally saw us! I was so embarrassed!" 


"So, I was sleeping over at my friend Emily's house, and when we were eating breakfast, I excused myself to use the bathroom. I had to go pretty badly, and I walked right into the bathroom as Emily's older sister was just getting out of the shower! She just stared at me, and then I ran out. I was so embarrassed!"


"My best friend, Britney, and I were at this clothing store trying on bras when my former best friend came in. She works for the school paper and she secretly took pictures of us trying on embarrassing stuff! The next day, the school paper had me on the front page! So embarrassing!" 

Ok, I hope everyone enjoyed those! I miss getting my Seventeen Magazine but lucky for internet....I can read the "Why Me" section online now=)

Anyways, the other night Nic and I went to the movies (as I previously blogged about). We went by the gas station on the way so I could get sour worms and a caffeine free diet coke. Of course Nic grabbed other goodies too. Its not so much that I don't want to support the theatre and buy from them but its a 7:30 movie on a Sunday night...I need caffeine free diet coke and sadly, they don't serve it!

So..we get to the movie, I quitely open the screw on top of my diet coke during previews and leave it loose so it wouldn't be loud when I wanted a sip during the movie. There is a row of girls sitting behind us-5 of which I knew- another reason I didn't want to be "obvious" with my sneak in movie drink and snack. So during the movie, we snack on the sour worms, no big deal-pull off all of the loud wrappers of 100 starburst.....still no big deal. Then....about half way through the movie (we still haven't touched the drink bc its obvious when you drink out of a bottle drink-movie only serves them in a cup!!) I hear a hissing noise. WTH? Of course its an quite scene on the movie. The hissing noise gets louder... Then I realize....OMG, its my drink spewing! I can't see a thing because its pitch black. I start reaching under all the seats around me...finally find it. It was definitely my drink spewing. GREAT. I quickly put the lid back on it, it stops making the noise. Then Nic is going to look at me and say..."What was that? Was that our drink?"

I couldn't answer him...I was laughing so hard (a quite laugh, which is hard for me). I had tears filling my eyes and of course couldn't get a word out. He then asked again..."Omg, Kelly....was that our drink?" I'm giving him the silent shut up look but of course he can't see it.... I proceed to ignore his question because my answer would be heard by everyone and I'm still at this point thinking I was slick and nobody heard....WRONG!

After the movie, I ran into the girls I knew that were sitting behind us..they definitely confirmed that heard the drink. Lovely!

Embarraassed just a bit...why me=(
