Embarrassment
Caught Out Fibbing
Caught Out Fibbing--another fishy story Like most blokes, I would not have a clue about what I was wearing and when I was wearing it except for only one time in mid-2007. The reason I can state with confidence that I was wearing a green polo shirt with a yellow Gold Coast Game Fishing logo on the left breast side and a Flag of Australia on the right is that I told a fib that involved a similar shirt and got caught out.

Nonsensical
I closed my eyes and inhaled. A chill from the wind crept into my bones. How much longer is this going to take? I wondered to myself. You see I was never the person who liked attention. I didn’t want to be the center of the room and I definitely was not comfortable with everyone having their eyes on me. But in a moment like this, there was no getting around it. I knew one day I would have to bare this pain. The feeling of a hundred pairs of eyes staring me down analyzing my every move. With each passing second I could feel their opinions radiating off of them like the heat that radiates off of an open flame. To some people this would be one of the most exciting times a person could ever experience. But to me, it was my punishment.

Letters Never Sent - Vol 10
March 3, 2002 Dear Rita, Let me start with the good part. I wanted to say thank you for inviting me as your plus one to the wrap party for the movie you worked on. The closest I had ever been to being near movie stars was when I was as an assistant projectionist at the movie theatre I worked at in college and that time I went to the comic-con and paid $20 to stand next to Lou Ferrigno, (who you might be interested in knowing, in real life is neither as big nor as green as he looks like on TV). But I digress.

Letters Never Sent- Vol 4
February 29, 1992 Dear Kelly, I hope you don’t mind getting letters in Campus Mail from guys you don’t know very well. I am sure, because of how pretty you are you get lots of guys trying to ask you out and stuff. But I am a little shy about talking to girls in person, so I thought I would give this a try. I didn't used to be, I used to talk to girls all the time, not like a smooth operator, or anything, just like a regular operator, I guess, but last year I had an accident with an occilating fan, (it's a long story), and every since then, well like i said its a long story.

Midnight Thoughts
Are you ever wide awake in the middle of the night when you know you should be sleeping, but you can’t sleep because your mind is just racing with all the problems you have on a daily? Then out of the blue in the midst of all those important thoughts, something nonrelevant pops into your head. Like something that happened to you when you were in elementary school. That seems to happen to me a lot. Like just the other night or morning, I’m not really sure but I know it was dark out and everyone else was asleep; I was listening to my mediation music with my eyes closed just listening to the relaxing sounds, then a memory of something that happened when I was in the fifth grade came flooding back. This wasn’t something fun or exciting, nope, it was gross. But there it was right there in my head. The memory of when this boy in my class, let’s call him Jimmy, just to save face, had his head facing down with his head in his hands. I thought he was crying or that he had a really bad headache. I kept looking at him and even asked him if he was fine. But there he sat, holding his head, no words, no sounds. Just there.

One Time I Was Awful
The entirety of life is a learning curve. It’s a process. It’s about growth. It’s about being better than you were yesterday, even if just slightly. It’s about not beating yourself up if you aren’t. Hopefully, you’ll get another shot at it tomorrow. It’s cumulative. It’s baby steps. It’s moving forward on your journey, incrementally. It’s the stock market. Sometimes you’re up. Sometimes you’re down. But ideally, you’re mostly up before you cash out.

TIME WHEN I WAS EMBARRASSED
When you are upset, ask yourself some difficult questions to gauge how shy you are. Describe a time when your awareness of your emotions was preventing you from responding to the situation in such a way that […] [You will have to talk about this for a minute or two. Describe a situation or situation in which you feel embarrassed because of a lack of knowledge of a subject or because of your inability to speak English fluently.

The Size of Your lips changed
Please let me go Caleb, you are not here, and I don't want you to be. Not white and not black. I want home to come get me, so I can heal in an environment where nothing you showed me exists, the bad feelings don't exist either. I have never felt more alone, and you only kick me around in these dark days, after you broke my brain. I don't know what is real and what is not real anymore, that is why I demand I go where I know it's real. Where I know an XL male shirt, doesn't fit someone with my build.

Trying Out Pot for the First Time at the Age of 71
I've never been a party girl. It’s something that never appealed to me. It’s not in my genes. I tried smoking cigarettes when I was 12 years old. I got sick to my stomach, puked, and wondered why anyone would want to smoke. I didn’t go to Woodstock or hang out with the hippies at Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. I failed hippie 101.
