Let's All Be Nutty for Once In A While!

Most of the time, I'm a serious person. Meaning, I treat everything that happens around me as a serious matter to be considered at. It doesn't mean, however, that I am what you would call a kill joy individual. Though, I always have this tendency to explain things in a rational way, I have some weird, or what RD would call, quirky things about me. First, I cry easily and that is the reason why it has always been hard for me to engage in a heated argument, as even before I can lay down all my arguments/points I’m already sobbing hard. Second, I laugh easily, even on small, corny jokes. Sometimes, I become the easiest person to laugh on things.

I had my silly or stupid moments as well. Did it happen on you when you were saying the wrong things (wrong things include wrong grammar, silly lines, etc) in front of all people and you just wish you'd shrink in the ground where you were standing because of extreme embarrassment? I did! It was one Christmas event with co-workers at a company I used to work with.

I was selected as one of the 10 best-dressed/costumed participants. When it was my turn to say a few lines about my costume/character, my heart was already beating fast even before I could talk so that all that I’ve been blabbering about were not only inappropriate things, but matched with wrong grammar. I was aware of it, you know. It’s just that I couldn't talk further to correct my words because I was already shaking due to nervousness. Until now, I can’t imagine this most embarrassing moment happened to me. Me, the Jirlie who likes everyone to see her as the neat, serious, and coherent woman was seen/heard with such quirky stuff?

But, yes! No one’s perfect! We all had our share of embarrassing moments, in one way or another. I know we almost wanted to kill ourselves during those times, but what the heck! What's important is to always remember that no matter how stupid we may think we look or feel, people are busy with their own stuff it’s most likely they never paid attention. I got other weird things about me, but I think, that's enough for my embarrassment. Now, table's on you! You got nutty side in you, I'm certain, yes? Why don’t you share it at Reader's Digest?
