Delicious Realism

I giggled. Too real popsicles! Sweet with just a touch of depressing.

I wonder why people say we're all fat?

Take Care, iPhone.

Telephones are people too. Don't throw them!

Girls at Bars

 Here are some of the weird things I've done or seen other girls do at bars. 

1. There is always going to be a girl sitting on a sidewalk crying outside of every bar.

2. A guy bought me a drink. How sweet huh? His girlfriend didn't think so. She didn't get mad at him though. She focused her anger on me! What did I do? :( She followed me around the bar glaring at me all night. It was so creepy to turn around and have her game face staring at me... Still scared she's behind me. 

3. Some girl did a split on a beer-soaked-splintery-wooden-floor in the world's shortest skirt. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Ewww!

"Omg, what flavor is this Jello?"
4. A guy reached over my shoulder to get his drink and I looked at his arm which was full of tattoos. I looked at him and said "Hey, I like your tattoos!" I then turned to my girl friend and said "I didn't like his tattoos." Mean Girls style. I have no idea where that came from. 

5. There was a pregnant woman twerking against a wall once. 

6. An older lady pretty much attacked my guy friend on the dance floor. It was hilarious to watch him get all squirmy because he's usually pretty tough. 

7. A girl walked up to my girl friend and stared at her for a few seconds before she started dancing. The weird thing was she never broke eye contact even though my friend was clearly freaked out. Ew! K, Thanks. Bye. 

8. Girls slurp down Jello shots! It's so weird. We look like anteaters. 

9. We smash our faces together, lick each other's cheeks and make silly faces to take pictures. 

10. Girls like the weirdest drinks and shots, well, the weirdest named drinks and shots. My friend once asked a bartender to make her a Duck Fart.

There's the Funky Blue Banana, the Swedish Fish cocktail, the Dirty Bong Water, Sex on the Beach, Slow Comfortable Screw, Red Headed Slut and my personal favorite the Blow Job. You aren't supposed to use your hands to pick up the last shot. Cheers!

Guys at Bars

I guess the act of trolling around bars for hook-ups could be seen as awkward. I’m not focused on that though.
Our faces were stuck like this for weeks after number 1

I’m focusing on the things that guys sometimes do and say to girls in an attempt to hook up.

Girls can say and do some pretty awkward things too, but that’s another post (just above this one actually).

Here are 10 of the most awkward, random, silly, gross and shocking things that I've witnessed out at bars with my friends. 

1. We saw a guy with a really weird crotch stain. We couldn't tell if he spilled something on himself or if he had an accident. 

2. A guy tried to impress me by flashing me his nipple rings. I have to admit, it was kind of funny. Brownie points for humor!

3. A guy walked over to me and put his open beer bottle under my mouth. I think he wanted to share his drink with me, but he was way too drunk for words. I just smiled then walked away. Thanks for trying to share though.

4. Some guy was trying to get my number for about 3 minutes before he had to use the bathroom. He handed me his wallet, cell phone, car keys and jacket. I'd never met him before in my life. He had terrible friends. 

5. A guy who was approx. 1/2 the height of my friend told her she had nice knee caps.

6. A guy tried to dance with me, but I said no. He got angry and said something mean to me. Then he tried to dance with 3 of my girl friends and they all said no because he was mean to me. He was persistent though, he tried to dance with me again! My girl(note the space)friend got annoyed and said she was my girlfriend. Then he tried to dance with my guy friend. 

7. A guy much older than me was bothering me a little bit because I expressed I wasn't interested, yet he kept following me around. I went into the Ladies room for some relief and when I came out he was waiting outside the bathroom! Awker alert! 

8. Some guy told me I looked like a hot secretary. That was weird enough, but he got weirder. He tried to hook up with my guy friend after he... I guess... complimented me? He then tried and failed to hook up with my girl friend. Then invited both of them to hook up together with them. Then he followed us to the dance floor and creeped us out until we decided to leave. 

9. 4 drunken frat boys sang Britney Spears' song I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman karaoke perfectly. It was beautiful. 

10. My friends and I were in the bathroom when a few girls and a guy came in. None of us were really creeped out by the guy. We were more offended that he tried to tell us that his friend's dress was pink and not red. We were like "It is clearly red, get off our land!" 

The Bar Scene

No bar is complete without friends!

To some it’s controversial behavior. But if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have no problems checking out the bar scene (or pub, or club, or whatever you kids are calling it now), why shouldn't everyone check it out?

It’s a task finding a reality show that features young adults that don’t check out bars. Okay, most reality star
s take it a bit too far. I’m not suggesting that anyone go out every weekend.

I’m just saying if you want to—it’s probably not that big of a deal anymore. 

Make sure you plan ahead, and stay safe!
Besides, it’s fun going out. I think that any place in 2013 that forces people to dress up a bit and socialize away from a computer is a good thing. Most bars don’t allow guys to wear sweat pants and fitted baseball caps. So, guys tend to put on their best clothes. Who can complain about that?

Guys are usually happy with what they see too. Whenever guys dress up, girls put more pressure on themselves than usual to dress up too.

Some people associate bars with hooking up because girls usually dress in skimpy outfits. The skimpy outfits usually lead to guys trying to get girls to sleep with them, or at least make out. Guys tend not to be too picky in that area.

If you've ever been to a bar it seems that the guy are usually successful. You be the judge of how you feel about that. Here’s a talk back question. I’m craving your opinions.

The Bar Scene: Is it awkward or natural?

Pardon The Awkward Pause, Will you?

I'm sooooooo sorry!

I hope that no one feels abandoned. That's the thing about running a blog by yourself, life happens. I hope that everyone will forgive me for taking a break. I had a good excuse I promise. I've been very busy with classwork and it's my senior year! Graduation is annoying for the student. All you smarties can relate I'm sure. Anyway, please enjoy the upcoming post-blitz. I'm hoping you will swell with pride and maybe feel a little queasy from the awkwardness.

Also, here's a picture of David Beckham
Best Wishes,

Whitly <3

Doo-Ayyyyye (It's furbish... Google it)!

This is the most awesomely-awkward little contraption! Gaga-little-monster-furbies!

Girls Trying To Be Hilarious

There's nothing funnier than girls trying to be funny! 
Girls are incapable to letting go for too long, so it's always funny when we try to just be silly. We're okay with letting go of control to make a controlled funny voice, but making random silly sounds is a bit too much for most of us girls. So hilariously awkward, but like in a good way. ;)

Monday, March 4, 2013

Uh, There's no way out of this.

Well, this is awkward. 
Have any stories about weirdo's watching you sleep? Let me know. 

I was on a train once and there was an old man staring at me as I fell asleep. I put my hood over my head and my headphones in, so he didn't bother me. I nodded off for a few hours, and when I woke up he was still staring. 

I was kind of afraid he died for a second, but then he started doing that thing old people do with their lips. I kind of think it's cute though. I think they look like bunnies munching on carrots! :)

Guys, What The Heck Are You Doing?!

I've been very disappointed by what you've been wearing lately.


I don’t want to complain too much though. Men developing an interest in Fashion is a good thing. For most men rolling out of bed, slapping on a baseball cap and shoving a piece of gum in their mouths is no longer acceptable behavior (finally).

But, guys seem a little lost about what’s okay and what’s so not okay to wear. Here are some male fashion trends that need to go away forever. Feel free to comment in defense of these trends (I don't know how you could though), or to agree and tell me some things you're sick of seeing men wear. Here we go!

Fur Anything

I’m sorry guys, but a man in fur is just not sexy. There is no way for a man to wear fur and have it be understated. By wearing fur you are making an aggressive fashion statement and not in a good way. Nix! Also, anything furry hanging off your key chains or belts is a big fashion NO.

Crocs

No. Not even to run to the grocery store, Guys. This shoe is wrong in so many ways.














Airbrushed T-Shirts

These things are so gross, they’re such a turn off and the only statement they’re making is “I sit on my butt and play Skryim all day”. What’s even worst is that half of you guys hardly ever wash these things. So, you have pizza stains and stale beer on this monstrosity. Why? Because subconsciously you know these things are nasty too.







Suit Jackets and Shorts

I see what you’re trying to do, Boys. It’s not working though. You look like over-sized members of the Lollipop Guild.


The Justin Bieber Haircut


Okay, even Justin is over this haircut. 

What's The Proper Way To Handle This Situation?

I hate when I unintentionally laugh at their private jokes like I know what's going on.

A Great List Of Awkward Characters

Awkward television stars are the best.

The Office wouldn't be funny at all if they weren't so awkward, the sex scenes on Girls would just be porn, Gilmore girls wouldn't be the same if Kirk wasn't such a weirdo and how would the entire cast of New Girl eat if they weren't getting paid to be so awkward? 

Here's a link to a great list of awkward TV characters. Think they left someone out? Tell me who.

Guilty Girls

Most of the time, Girls don't feel guilty.

Truth time, Girls. If you you're around a guy you like and there's another guy you know close by, you're not going to feel guilty. You're going to try to make the guy you like jealous. If he likes you, it will work. He won't tell you that though. I did a lot of research to be sure of that fact. Girls feel guilty when they plan something and it goes horribly wrong... with other girls. Waxing off your friend's entire eyebrow, poking them in the eye with liner or letting them go out in booty shorts and Uggs. We'll obsess over that for days. Running into your flirt with your new boyfriend. That's not guilt, that's a triumph.  

Guilty Boys

Let's be honest. I did engage in flirting.

But, it was nothing more than harmless giggles where I wrinkle my nose a bit, looking up at him while biting my lip and a few hair twirls~ the usual. It was nothing to me. I just liked him "Liking" everything I post on Facebook and Instagram.
I was sitting and eating with a friend in a Chinese food buffet when this guy that flirts with me walked in. He looked frightened when he saw me then a few seconds later a girl walked in behind him.

I didn't think anything was wrong. I wasn't dating him and I didn't want to date him.

Of course I didn't expect him to flirt with me in front of the girl, but saying Hi to me would be nice. He's seen me with guys and still talked to me, so I thought if the roles were reversed it wouldn't be a big deal.

He walked close to my table but was seated a few tables away. Still not a problem. I didn't expect him to sit with my friend and I. That might get awkward, and she had claimed girl talk from me for the afternoon. I got up to get more food and he was up too with the girl. I sensed he was nervous, so I wouldn't talk to him. I thought a wave might be better.

I waved at him, and he looked at me for about 2 full seconds then turned his head. No wave back.

Then he ushered the girl back to the table. I was annoyed, but I just got my food and went to my table. I looked over at his table when I was walking back and he was staring at me. Once back at my table every time I looked up he was staring at me.

I didn't understand his behavior. It was like he felt guilty for bringing a girl to lunch. I knew we were flirty, but I thought we were friends too. I was so annoyed by his actions.

Later, he texted me.

"What's up?"

"Uh, I don't know."

"What do you mean"

"You were really weird when I ran into you today. Can't wave, huh?"

"I didn't want you to be mad at me"

"Why would I be mad?"

"You looked hot today"

After that he went on Facebook and Instagram and liked almost everything I posted. Even though I'm still unsure what he thought I would be mad at, I let him off the hook. I know guilty boys forget their manners, and can't control their bladders.

I wouldn't want him to ruin a pair of his skinny jeans. He looks so cute in them. ;)

5 Things I Accepted As a Young Girl

1. Picking lint or grass off my candy because the 5-second rule was law.

2. Not wearing earrings bigger than a nickle because boys would think I'm easy. "Did you see that girl in those earrings? She's clearly a slut," said no boy ever.


3. Not getting happy meals often because my Mother wanted me to have healthy babies.

4. Using a machine to rewind a tape that I put in another machine only to rewind my favorite parts anyway.

5. My neck getting tired from holding a flashlight while I read because I liked to read in dark places. 

Actually, number five is still true. Only now my books light up on my Nook, still amazed.


I hope you understand why I write this blog now.

How Many Times Do You Wash Your Hands?

I wash my hands often.

I wash my hands every time I'm in the bathroom, before cooking and eating, before putting on make up and this might be an awkward one... I wash my hands before I wash my face in the morning (and at night) even though I wash my face after I get out of the shower.

But, some people go further than that.

Recently over lunch with friends I learned that all my friends are running around washing their hands all the dang time behind my back.

Do you wash your hands before you go to the bathroom and after?


We were all divided over this one. My guy friend thinks that guys should wash their hands before and after they eh, go.

Think about it, it does make sense. I just highly doubt that guys actually will do it. I think it's a task to get them to wash their hands after they go.

Yes, I listen for water to run after people go to the bathroom. Whenever I don't hear water I always ask "Did you wash your hands?" and give judgmental stares until they confess.

My girl friend agrees and thinks that girls probably should wash before and after too. I think us girls can handle it.

We're gross in other ways, just not hygiene.

Hand-Washing-Battle-Of-The-Sexes Challenge:

For a whole week challenge your friends to wash their hands every hour (hand sanitizer doesn't count) with gold old fashioned soap and water. Use the honor system and see who wins. Tell me the winners!

Something Awkward You Should Try This Month

In the spirit of Love (V-Day last all month for me), I suggest that you and a special friend check out a couples yoga class!

Nothing is sexier than twisting your sweaty body around someone with 8 other couples watching you. It connects you in a way that I can't explain.

 Okay, I can't keep up with the sarcasm.

While I appreciate the art of couples yoga and I do think it's worth a shot, it's so awkward. Don't be put off though. This is a must-have awkward experience.

Story time!


I went to a couples yoga session by accident.

I thought it was a normal yoga class, but that’s what I get for trusting Google Offers.

“I don’t have a partner. I didn’t know this was a couples deal,” I said to the instructor.

“No, there is another single here, so you have a partner. Don’t think about it. You both have the same goal. You both want to be here, so trust that he is a friend okay,” he said.

I guess he could tell I was thinking “fight-or-flight” since the moment I noticed this wouldn’t be a solo session. Everything in me was screaming flight, but already paid $15 for the class and I walked all around the city with my yoga mat strapped to my back.

I would have felt like a fraud if I didn’t use it.
“Okay,” I said.

I was partnered up with a guy named Matt.

 Matt is a tall and very flexible guy. For one of the first few poses we had to sit facing each other and holding hands with our legs spread apart. My feet were at the back of his knees, and I was fully stretched out.
It was great until Matt stretched forward taking a nose-dive straight for the middle of my legs. I sat there (horrified) for a few seconds looking down at Matt’s curly brown hair. I waited for him to sit up so I can catch his gaze.

The eyes of a perverted man are always easy to spot.

He looked normal to me and it was my turn to lean forward, so I closed my eyes as he pulled my arms. I wanted to keep my eyes closed, but I guess the awker in me made me look up.
 All I saw was the crotch of black sweatpants.

I think that looking at the crotch in various positions for the next hour made me more comfortable with people. It was one of the most awkward things I’ve ever done, but I enjoyed it. I went back for 3 more classes before I kicked the habit.

Check it out. Tell me how your session went.

Namaste.

The AwKWaRd Layout Is Different... Right?


Can't tell if AwKWaRd looks different...
Yup! There are a few new additions to the blog. Off to the side there's a new "Gosh Dang Awkward Photo" for everyone to enjoy. There has also been a few changes to the blog itself. 

Tell me what you think of the new AwKWaRd! I'd love some feedback.

--Whitly 


There's nothing wrong with a nip and tuck here and there right?

Awkward Guest Blogger: Kelsey Pierchoski!


As a waitress, I have plenty of awkward moments almost on a nightly basis.

Oh, you wanted dessert and I brought your check too soon?  Oops.

You’re done ordering and I’m still standing there awkwardly, thinking you’re going to say something else?  Oh, well.  Wait, your toddler is a boy and I just called him a “she”?  Better luck next time.

So, I just ran into a chair or slid on the wet floor and you saw?

Maybe you’ll feel sorry for me.

And my personal favorite...I just walked by your table thinking you had plates to take away but you’re still eating and so I walk by staring at you awkwardly?

Story of my life.

Don't do this on Valentine's Day

If you're looking to get punched in the face on Valentine's Day, tickle a woman's chin.

I'm not sure if it's the proximity to the neck that makes this spot on the body so awkward, but seriously it's the worst feeling in the world.

I grope my good girl-friends in a variety of personal places without so much as a flinch from them (boob, bum and belly button are my personal favorite). Yet, with just a tickle I can make any moment the most horrifying violation they have experienced all day.

I know some guys get a giggle out of making girls squirm and squeal by tickling them. Keep it below the chin, guys. You'll have a much better chance of tickling her again (wink, wink...)
He's not talking about his shiny metal ass this time.

Coughing in a Classroom

Well, it's that time of the year. Everyone is sick and coughing up nasty things. Maybe I'm just weird, but when I'm sick with a cough there is no silent coughing. It's rather inconvenient for someone who has to sit in lectures 5 days a week but I just don't have the power to stop myself from coughing.

I cough with force. I cough with passion. I cough like a beast. When I cough I actually feel my ribs sinking in.

I was sitting in a lecture not too long ago, and I had to cough. I thought it would interrupt my Professor, so I tried to hold it in. I held my breath for a few seconds hoping the couching sensation would go away. It really just made things worst.

 My body started like convulsing and making weird Darth Vader noises. The person sitting in front of me turned around a few times to see what the heck was going on. But, I just shrugged them off.

I decided not breathing was not the way to go, and this cough had to come out.

I told myself one little cough and I would be done.Well, that didn't go as planned. I started coughing uncontrollably. Then I could smell my perfume and it was irritating me more. I ended up just leaving the class room to get some water from the water fountain.

Meanwhile, while all of this was happening I missed out on half a lecture trying to choke down a cough. Also, I think the person sitting in front of me later suffered from hand sanitizer over dose.

WASH YOUR HANDS!

Accepting Compliments

Why is it so hard for people to accept compliments?

You can spend 20 minutes telling someone why they look nice, and they can spend 20 minutes telling you why they don't.

Why not just say "Hey, Thanks!" instead of making people convince you that you're cool. Enough with that. It's just awkward.

Would you rather people tell you mean things instead? Please explain.
I'll bet she wouldn't be smiling like that if he handed her a toothbrush instead of a heart.

'Merican Football!

Ah, sports. There are so many awkward moments to speak of. So, at the most watched American sporting event the awkward moments are just amazing. Here's the top 4 awkward Super Bowl XLVII moments:

Alicia Keys is STILL singing the National Anthem. Give it up, Girl! Game's over. 

Um, What the heck was going on here. This is just... awkward. 

FOOTBALL... probably needs some lights. I wonder how many awkward moments happened in the stands?!

Beyonce's performance was amazing. But, her faces when she's getting into her dancing are so deliciously awkward.

Why Journalists Are Awkward Royalty


Imagine you're in a fancy ballroom. When you look around you see Women in pretty ball gowns with silky white gloves and Men in Tuxes with exquisite gold buttons on their sleeves. There's a big fancy party going on, and you're observing it wanting to remember every detail about it. 

Now, Imagine you're in boxers and everyone is staring at you. Throw a camera in the mix, and congratulations! You now have a small taste of what it feels like to be a journalist. 

I recently had to cover a few events for a newspaper. At the events hot topics in the United Stated and the Middle East we discussed. At both of these events the media was blamed for a large portion of what's wrong in both parts of the world. 

That's great. 

I encourage people to question where their news is coming from, and to be mindful that not all sources are valid or get the full story. 

But being the person snapping pictures of everything and writing down everyone’s every word—awkward!
