Forgot the name of a girl while taking her to a movie. It was our last date.(Age 9ish) While hiking in the mountains, slipped down a steep creek bank into a very moist cow pie. Covered my jeans in sloppy cow poo. Hiked many many miles in my whitey-tighties.Called a teacher "Mom".I forget people's names incessently. Anybody's name (family, friend,...) is fair game for me to forget, and then remember some other time. In 8th grade, I even forgot my own name for 15-20 minutes! I was alone, but it was still awkward!! I was doing a homework assignment (English) and I went to write my name at the top of the paper and.....and......um.......er........uh........oh my....not good!... After several minutes of staring at the paper, I became disturbed at the whole situation. I started writing anything to remind me of my name...my address, phone number, family names...and finally it just gently came back to me. It has never been more than like fifteen seconds like that ever since.I also forget people themselves incessantly. At least once or twice a month, somebody comes up to me to say, "Hi, how are you doing!" and I don't remember ever knowing the person. This year, I ran into a girl who knew my name, my siblings, my major, my musical talents, and was good friends with my brother. I had her in classes like two years before. I totally had no idea who she was for at least three days. She won't talk to me anymore.About a month ago, I was at a conference at dinner and we were talking about old people. "I love old people. They're so nice!" somebody said. So I blurt out, "My grandma died this morning." [which was true] Awkward! I had just met those 8 people at the table that day.I forget birthdays. My two older sisters always call me when somebody has a birthday because they think that I either a) don't know what day it is, or B) don't remember there was a birthday. They are usually right, especially with "a".Sometimes I turn in papers with the wrong date at the top. November is the most often, which is fortunate for the next few weeks. November 2007 seems to be the date about half the time. There wasn't anything special about that November. "It's May?!? When did that happen?!?"Went to a marching band practice with both of my wrists in casts (I am a drummer) for tendonitis. Marched arround for two hours doing nothing while everyone else played. They were homemade wrappings. Several people thought I was making it all up.In high school I asked out this girl, and she said she would think about it. 5 minutes later, an older guy with a car asked her out. The next day: she forgot I even asked. "So have you decided?" "Decided what?" "You know, what we talked about?" "Um, what was it again?" "You know, while we were watching that movie with everybody?" "Oh. Oh. Oh!" "Have you decided?" "Well...you see...[so and so] asked me too, and I am going to go out with him." Awkward! Then two years later, I was eating lunch with the same girl, but she thought it was a date (which it was not) and she was explaining that it was a date to her friends and I had to tell her it wasn't...in front of her friends... but we were still only about halfway throught the meal, and the girl was my ride...On a first date with my crush of several years and while on crutches, we finished eating, got take-out containers, and were about to leave. As we got up, I leaned over and said, "Well, I suppose I could try to carry my food myself," with a horrible inflexion. It was our last date.Yesterday, I was pacing around my room (literally in circles) listening to Lecrae (Christian rapper). My buddy, a minister from my Church, knocked on my door, but I didn't hear him. He looked in my window and saw my walking around in circles. After a minute, he called me. I went out to him. He asked me what I had been doing, and I played it off as "I was...er... looking for something. Yes....these things [pointing to my wallet and cell phone].Sometimes, I am about as awkward as the word awkward. Seriously? "wkw"? "w..k..w"? Enough for now!Peace,-Redeemed22
