Not really sure what to say to explain this. I just dove on in. Dived? I dunno.
Join in if you want. What weird missteps have you committed today?

Awkward silences with my Mum's "friend" (read:new boyfriend) it's far too soon since my Dad died for me to want around.
That's about it, I haven't left the house today so I've been spared too many awks moments.

"Awkward" is a funny word because it has two "W"s astride a "K".

I had one of these today:
Friend: "How's it going, man?"
Me: "Nothing much. I mean, good. Shit."
Hate that sitch.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yup. Been there. Done that.
I feel so cliched with that response. Sorry.

I don't know if this counts as awkward because I have no shame around some people (including yous guys), but...
Needed to take a smash, so as I pulled into the Streetsboro plant, I drove straight to the mobile shitter. First thing I noticed was that it hadn't been serviced in a while, which is something to notice since these things are usually pristine. I get done with my smash and grab thin air where toilet paper should be...
Nothing to do but pull up my britches and get on with it. My buddy JD is vaping outside the lab, so I chat him up while sort of making sure not to get a wedgy by just straight up picking at it preemptively. I'm also hoping he doesn't know what I'm going through, but every time I picked a wedge I think I see him smirk a little.
We talk for another 30 minutes and at the end I say fuck it and warn him- "By the way you're out of toilet paper." He laughs, telling me he knew. So that whole time I was picking my wedge, he was holding back laughter.
But like I said, I wasn't really all that embarrassed.
It was a long ass prickly day though. Didn't get home untill 9pm to take care of the problem.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
