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.

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.

Kelsey and I are going to check this place out at lunchtime tomorrow. 

Hmm...

Who makes these rules?

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.
