My . . . that was awkward

Awkward moments define my life. There's even a Facebook group for it.

But first things first. BACK TO SCHOOL =O

Went to BIG W for the Back to School sale today. Spent like 30 minutes with my rentz and sister trying to decide which books were the best value ==; WELL HERE'S A HINT

Do not go for BIG W value. The ones produced by BIG W (those ones whose covers are just one colour, like blue for the 128pg ones, with the bottom right corner white). The paper in it is so crappy that ink just bleeds through it or it rips T___T

Get the Victory ones instead. For the A5 ones, the smaller the number of pages, the greater the value. Like the 5c 64pg ones (which is still more expensive than previous years but are almost gone). However, for A4, the greater the number of pages, the greater the value.

And also to add, the $2.92 15 Kilometrico pens are crap too -.-"" They're not the normal ones - they're actually made "exclusively" for BIG W to offer. And hence . . . half of them won't work properly.

Then went to the check out lane. You know how when you kind of know someone, but not really? Like they're in your grade, but you like never talk and when you see them you really can't be bothered to go up to them and say hi to? Saw Wilson's mum like 1 checkout lane away except I kept staring cause I recognised his mum but didn't know who it was at first . . .

Then I just realised that "greenguy" next to her turned out to be Wilson lol

I think he probably saw me. Except I didn't go over. It'd be an extremely awkward conversation anyway.

Then parents thought there was an error with the purchase and (like all azns) stayed outside for like 5 minutes double checking over everything's prices ==;

I was like can't we all freaking go already?!

And all the time I was facing away from the entrance with a random hugeass ancient book from the bookstore outside covering my face.

I hate meeting people you know slightly but not every well. Like that super freaking long C block corridor (have I mentioned this before?). You see someone in the distance. The corridor is empty and silent. You don't know them that well. Except the bad thing is you still know them. You make eye contact. Uh oh O_O When do you say hi? If you say it too quickly, the rest of the walk to where you meet will be intensely awkward. If you wait too long to say it, the whole walk and the greeting will be even more awkward. And in the end you just stare in the opposite direction pretending there's something fascinating about the yellow painted asbestos bumps on the walls flitting past until you get near them, and suddenly go "Oh hello. Didn't see you there" =O

Awwwwkwardd bro.

Another intensely awkward moment for my sister yesterday (fortunately I had gone up to my room a minute ago). Watching TV with your parents. Your whole family. Including your grandma who has come over to stay for a week. Programme[yes, I refuse to succumb to English (US)] changes. Ads, then fade to black. Then fade to the stupid freaking classification guidelines for the programme. It pops up and suddenly all conversation ceases.

This programme is classified MA. It includes strong violence, sexual themes, references and explicit scenes. Parental guidance is recommended for viewers below the age of 15.

And then . . . silence. Deathly awkward turtle silence. Someone coughs. Cricket chirps outside. The whole family freezes. In fact, even the classification screen literally freezes for around 5 seconds. But that might as much be 5 hours.

Keep in mind this was FREAKING ABC. The ever educational Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

And it would be too awkward to change the channel now, wouldn't it?

And finally relief. Intense relief as the classification screen fades away into black. This never happened.

Guess what the first scene was. I think you probably could.

It zoomed into two people in mutual embrace (that's as nice as I can put it). A hand reached up and grabbed something. Something.

And then my dad finally changed the channel. lmao.

Oh and speaking of classification. Which brings me to refused classification. Which brings me to censoring. Which brings me to the issue of Kevin Rudd.

You might have seen on the news about him following pronstar Alyssa Roxi on Twitter. Which is quite dumb of him to be honest, considering he's our prime minister, and everyone stalks him. What's weird is how in the whole of Google, there's only one website talking about that. And it's from New Zealand. Not even one Australian website talking about it O_O It's like he's already started censoring the whole country. Evil Stephen Conroy . . .

Anyway I'm tired. I'm going to Youtube now and sleep! G'nite.
