More awkwardness
It seems like everywhere I go, awkwardness follows me. Today on the train on the way home from the zoo, there was this woman who got on the train at Redfern. The moment the doors opened, you could hear this faint yelling in the distance .. "HOLD ON!"
I quickly began looking for this random voice who is yelling in the distance to hold on. And I see two women at the top of the stairs quickly trying to get pass the crowd to get onto the train. Both were blonde, both were oldish and both seemed like bogans (no offence). The doors close and only one of the girls manage to get through, the other is standing outside the doors staring at her friend, yelling at the guard to open the doors. She eventually gets through and they take a seat. One of them asks this poor little asian woman to move her bag, although her bag is sitting on her lap, and a nice man who also seems like a bogan sacrifices his seat to let the other friend sit there. Even though it's crowded and its peak hour these two girls were the loudest in the carriage. Majority of the train ride, they're sitting there hugging one another, seemed a bit weird at first, but I didn't bother to turn around and observe. Then there's a man who works for Cityrail standing by the stairs and continually shakes his head for some reason. So one of the two blonde girls gets off at Strathfield. The other woman gets from her seat and yells through the closed doors, "I'LL RING YOU AT 6 OKAY?!" She stands there and watches her friend leave as the train moves by.
Here is where the awkwardness begins. So there's an empty seat next to her, and over ten people standing up, all squashed together in this warm carriage. I assume the lady was drunk, because like the lady from my previous "Art of awkwardness" post, she continually kept repeating herself. "DOES ANYONE WANT TO SIT?"
From Strathfield all the way to about Parramatta, she kept repeating "DOES ANYONE WANNA SIT NEXT TO ME? THERE'S A SPARE SPOT NEXT TO ME? ANYONE? WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO SIT WITH ME? DOES EVERYONE WANT TO STAND UP? ANYONE WANT TO SIT?"
My friend and I just stared at each other, we both were thinking, that we would only sit if the other had a spot next to each other. The man from Cityrail standing by the stairs, kept shaking his head and softly giggled. One guy was mumbling things to a guy across the carriage from him about how crazy this woman was. This woman had thousands of stories to tell.
Once my friend and I found a seat next to each other, no one choose to sit next to the "crazy" lady. One man took the liberty to sit next to her, but he didn't know the awkwardness the rest of us in the carriage went through before he got on at Parramatta. I stared at the this man across from me who seemed to laugh everytime the lady kept trying to talk. She spoke to the Cityrail man about a boy was apparently got sliced in half by a train. The Cityrail man had nothing to say but,"I've heard, but not seen." It was quiet fascinating. Then she changed the topic and started talking to the man who offered his seat to her friend. She kept calling him a gentleman and that he was the only gentleman on the train, unlike the other hundred or us men on the train.
Oh, and one more thing, whilst she was telling everyone her stories, she was busily rolling up cigarettes in front of everyone. VERY funny.
This next story isn't really funny, but more embarassing and TOTALLY awkward. I got to work today to visit my manager, because I'm nice like that ;). Well remember my "so-called" friend who doesn't want to talk to me anymore, because I said a couple of things which upset them? Yeah well I got to work today, this certain person was working and they totally ignored me. Didn't bother to acknowledge my presence. So my manager decided to make him notice...
"_ _ _ _ _ say hello to Natasha."
awkward silence
"Say hello _ _ _ _ _"
awkward silence. Me staring at this person and thinking, this is just humiliating.
So this person continues to ignore me, and not even bother to say hello. So my manager decides to confront him, in front of the WHOLE store. She pretty much spilled everything out, "why aren't you talking to her? She apologized right? What do you want her to do, beg on her knees? What did she do wrong?"
I pretty much hid behind a wall, trying not to cry. It was quiet embarassing, but I knew it was HEAPS embarassing from this person who was being confronted in front of everyone in the store. I didn't know what to do. I want to step in a stop her, but I felt that this person needed to be taught a lesson. Yet, knowing this person, they won't learn. So I decided to leave so that she would stop torturing the poor person. Hopefully it worked =S.

The art of awkwardness ... part 3
HERE IT IS AGAIN! Well it wasn't really awkward for me, I felt more helpless and cruel for not doing anything, but it was awkward deciding what to do. But here's the story. A couple of weeks ago, couple of friends and I decided to "study" in the library whilst finishing off a little project for a friend of ours. Me and one of my friends were walking/racing to work to give our manager a gift, and she got all teary, so we decided to leave (we're not cruel like that, trust me). But on our way back to the library there is this little, well not really little more like a ten year old Indian girl standing by the front counter in the library just crying out loud. We slowly walked passed her because we were wondering if we should do anything. We automatically thought maybe she's just been seperated from her parents, and although the library is a small place, for a little child, it's like getting lost in the woods.
So we're still walking slowly pass her and we notice what seemed like a puddle surrounding her. Mind you, it was raining that day, so we assumed she got wet in the rain and just left a puddle. We felt kinda guilty just leaving the poor girl there, but moments later the librarian comes running to the girls aid, wipes her face and makes her stand BEHIND the front counter. And then it made all sense ... she peed her pants in the library. That's when it got awkward. The little girl stared at me, once I noticed what she had done. What was awkward about this was I was so tempted to laugh, but I knew it was horribly wrong to laugh at. If you see something like that you don't laugh, but when your telling someone else about it or someone else is telling you about it, you cant help but laugh.
I felt so helpless. I didn't know what to do, my friend and I didn't know what to do. And I'm sure if I knew whart she had done BEFORE the librarian came along, I most probably would ahve made things worse by laughing. Then being shamed in public by some random, telling me I have no respect, blah blah blah.

The journey home
My sister has been home for almost a week already, and fair enough, she's jet lagged and adjusting to the weather, but that doesn't excuse yourself! You're home now, meaning you should start cleaning up after yourself like you haven't been gone for freaking 3 months!
But at the same time, it a plus for me, because now I can bludge away like she was never gone for 3 months and neglect my chores =P .. Kidding! ahahahaha

girls of the week
FAMATIC!!!! These girls have been through so much with me =) i didn't say they had to be celebrities
xoxo
man of the week
No one liked Puck in the beginning of Glee, EXCEPT for me. Now EVERYONE loves him =P
My weakness
Is there such a thing as being TOO nice? I've been told I'm WAY to nice, or that I'm such a softie. And until recent events that have occured in my life, I finally realized I am too nice.
First off, why should I apologize for expressing how I feel? Why should I apologize that someone else doesn't understand what I'm on about? Why? But I still do it. I cave in too quickly and it's such a weakness. I don't know how to control it. Maybe it's a particular person, or its just natural that I can't be angry for too long at someone.
Whatever it is, how can I change that? Any suggestions?
