Embarassing moments... oh, I have a ton of them.

But picking just one... that's tricky. I've asked for Big Macs at Burger King. I've sworn loudly in front of my housemaster's wife for no explicable reason.

However, as someone mentioned her, I managed to avoid an incredibly embarassing moment recently. I was doing an IT job for a building firm in Brentwood. The couple who ran it asked me to take a look at their son's laptop who was called Jordan Marsh. (Note for non-Brits - Jordan is the name of an incredibly worthless professional media whore; Jodie Marsh is the name of an even less classy version of Jordan). I was about to remark to the wife that it was unfortunate but she couldn't have known that her son would be named after two such pieces of trash. However (and very unusually for me) I kept my mouth shut.

A few weeks later, I found that if I had done so, I would have been in a bit of trouble as Jordan Marsh is in fact Jodie Marsh's younger brother and it was her parents I'd been working for (nice people actually; the dad has a marvellous Robert Lindsay thing going on ).

But yeah... embarassing moments all over... I probably should do more embarassing things, get it out of my system. Life's too short.

I had an experience kind of like LMDs when I had my gallbladder removed. I was so relieved because I had a female doctor and I wasn't going to have to be unconscious and naked in front of strange men. But when they wheeled me into my OR, I had 2 male nurses. And one of them was quite good looking (and very nice. The anaesthesiologist was making me VERY nervous and he came over and calmed me down.) I remember my last thoughts before I was knocked out were along the lines of "OH NO! He's going to see me NAKED!!"

Wow, that's an amazing coincidence, that three of us here have had websites dedicated to their most embarassing moments:

www.thatguywhogotstuckinthetubedoors.co.uk
(There's been a lot of speculation about your true identity on their forums)

www.nakedgallbladderlessgirl.com
(They put your gall bladder on eBay last week, went for $230)

www.thatgirlwhorambleswhentalkingtocuteguys.org
(Check out their excellent "quotes" section - did you really explain the full rules of cricket to one guy?)

Careful with that, some of us are just gullible enough to click those to see if they're real sites. Then again, some of us are just bored.

"coffin dogers"



I hadn't heard that one.
Heard someone call a handicap parking space a gimp slot, but coffin dodger is new.

Ok, we need an applause emoticon, 'cause that's just brilliant.

I used to have panic attacks whenever I'd go shopping at Christmas and the Mall would be packed with people. It turned out I have agoraphobia (fear of crowds)which explained why I'd always feel uncomfortable at large parties where I hardly knew anyone. My anxiety levels and panic attacks diminished in frequency in my twenties but then increased during a rough period in my early 40's. My doctor used to prescribe Xanax but then put me on Paxil. Paxil was tough at first and I had no sex drive for about 6 to 9 months but after a year and a half on it I hadn't had a single panic attack. At that point I started feeling lethargic and my doctor gradually reduced my dosage and took me off it for good finally. I haven't had a panic attack even after being off it for 3 years. It helped re-adjust my serotonin levels to a healthy balance and once there I didn't need it after that. Some people need to take it for life but I'm one of the lucky ones. I may have to take something in my later years but for now I'm good.

That also reminds me that someone told me to ask the doctor to save my gallstones because apparently they're pretty? Well, I didn't because I thought it was kind of gross and I was drugged and as they were wheeling me back to my room after the surgery, I kind of came to and there was a man wheeling one of those bio-hazard carts and I remember asking if my gallbladder was in there and if they could get it out for me.
