3 Embarrassing Moments of My Life

1. I was 14 years old at the time and it was the beginning of me having anxiety attacks. The feeling of the anxiety attack when it would occur was the feeling of being in a dream, kind of like a 3rd person experience so it would totally freak me out. Well, I had a basketball game one night and as the game started I began to have that same kind of feeling I had "the feeling of being in a dream" so I began to freak out and I ran off the court and yelled at my mom to tell her "LET'S GO, I NEED TO LEAVE". Remember this is in the middle of a game. My mom basically starts yelling at me "GREGG DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT". I'm like whatever so I just run off the court and outside. My mom follows and we leave. I felt like such a douche bag, not only because I had an anxiety attack and those are demoralizing, but also because I left the game the way I did and my mom began yelling at me. I can laugh at it now but back then I felt like such a dweeb. I wish anxiety had a face because I'd piss all over it!

2. When I was 13 I twisted my testicle and I took 1 week off from school. By the time I had return to school word got out that I had twisted my left testicle. The kids at school started saying "What's up lefty" and "Hey how are you one ball". Fucking little Junior High Bastards I hope you all go screw yourselves! Ha ha again now I can laugh at it but back then twisting your testicle and having people find out before you want them to makes you feel like "less of a man". Imagine if I had a blog back when I was in Junior High? Shit I wouldn't have written about masturbating 3 times a day and how many points I scored in the basketball game.

3. When I was 19 years old I used to work at Putnam Investments. This was also during the time of my well kept grooming stage. I used to get my eyebrows waxed and stuff like that. No, the eyebrow waxing isn't the embarrassing part. The embarrassing part is I used Nair one night to get my uni brow off. You know how after you use Nair you're supposed to clean it off really really good? Well I thought I had, but the next morning when I woke up I had this big red patch across where a uni brow would go. The good news was I didn't have a uni brow made of hair but I did now have a uni brow made of a red burn mark. I looked so freaking ridiculous. I felt like such a stupid biotch. I wanted to call in the next day but I braved the humility and the red patch was gone 5 days later.

Come on guys you must have some embarrassing moments in your lives that you're dying to share with the class today!

I still want to know how the hell someone twists a testicle.

I'm a natural red head but I dye my hair...any other color besides red. There is no sign that I have red hair beside my roots (when they come it) because I shave everything...everything. When I was pregnant with my first kid I had to stop shaving at the end of my pregnancy and I didn't think anything more of it. After I had him I went back to shaving. At my 6 week check-up (you have these after giving birth) my hair was blonde instead of brown but my nurse apparently remembered my unshaven crotch (which is unforgettable obviously) and she said to me..."Why did you go and dye your hair again? I know how pretty your natural color is...Remember, I've seen you naked."

Good times.

dirty: I don't know exactly how I twisted it. It's like saying how did you burst your appendix?!?! It just happens you know...

Is red hair that bad? Danny Bonaducci has red hair and he's wicked cool! Also remember Annie?!?! Rawk that red hair!

Gregg O'Connell said...

g-man: oh thats horrible...i'd be super embarrassed....do you need a hug?

Erica Ann Putis said...

I do embarrasing things all the time. Just last week I fell on my face like all the cool chicks are doing now. I usually get a couple of high fives and "Damn, girl! That was fly!!" after I get up.

Gregg O'Connell said...

erica: cool girls definitely don't fall on their face...nerdy girls do though

dirty said...

I'm afraid you are wrong Gregg...it's the cool girls who fall on their faces...I know.

Gregg O'Connell said...

dirty: since when are moms cool?

Erica Ann Putis said...

I'm so cool - I almost fell again on my lunch break... But no one was watching so I only twisted my ankle.

Julianne B said...

Kevin Weil said...

I remember the Nair incident =p

Gregg O'Connell said...

kevin: ha ha do you really remember?

dc1904 said...

HAHA! That nair one is really funny. Is that true?? Note to first-time nair users, I believe you're supposed to try a tiny amount on your arm or wrist to see how it affects your body, then try it on the sensitive area.

My embarrassing moments to come...

Gregg O'Connell said...

QofD: yes my anxiety has been real! :)
I'll send you an email if I find an anxiety's face...

Captain: yes the Nair is true...I did use it before on my unibrow and it was fine...this time i just didnt get it all off so i had pretty burn mark..haha

captain: your embarrassing moments are more like "CLUMSY" moments..but still embarrassing...you can't help it that you're a Captain

Nair is evil. It leaves the hair roots behind, so it will just grow back anyway.
You have to tweeze those lil bastards. Pluck with pride.

Gregg O'Connell said...
