Social Awkwardness

Hello hello!

Believe it or not, I actually received a complaint that I had not updated my blog in a week or so! I have one whole faithful reader! YAY!

So I graduated from law school this weekend and it seems to have gone without a hitch ... so far. After all, I haven't really graduated until my grades come in, and somehow, even though I took two multiple choice tests two weeks ago I have no grades yet! So the waiting continues.

My family was able to meet my friends and nemeses. Most amusing is the humiliation I've suffered as a result of a long-standing crush on a classmate. When my family met his they got along swimmingly. Both of our mothers were flight attendants for the same airline in the same time period. I think that while drunk (ok, drunk is an understatement. What is the drunkest term? A nomination by my friend is "fucking wasted." I think I'll run with that), I'm sorry, fucking wasted on Wednesday night at a law school event I told nearly every attendee that I had a long-standing crush on someone and should I tell him that? Because you see, he's moving away. Actually, moved this morning. And yesterday I was overheard gushing about him and someone sitting behind me said in a very loud voice that last night was his last night in Miami. Hmmm, guess that was intended for me.

But what to do? Well, what I did was let it go. I'm sure he knows by now, but what the fuck, life goes on. I'd love to say I'm horrendously embarrassed by the whole episode but I can't bring myself to be. Too many other socially awkward moments have happened (and will happen) to make me hide my head in the sand.

And frankly, I'm no ostrich. I'm about as subtle as a bulldozer.
