Oh...how embarrassing!

I'm sitting in my Tuesday meeting this morning, and it of course had my full attention... But I happened to notice a bug on the window/door opposite of me, walking up and down, around, etc. So I'm watching this bug for like, ten minutes, and this whole time, I'm trying to figure out if it's on the inside or outside of the door. Good news, I got my answer, when it jumped off the door in towards us. Now, I don't know what I was thinking, but in my head, when it jumped off the door, I thought it was coming straight for me, to attack. Why? Still don't know. But anyway, as soon as it jumps, I full-on flinched. Of course, this is noticed by everyone in the room, who laughs at me. Turns out, the bug had landed on the guy sitting next to me, and it was only a Box Elder bug, and he killed it immediately.
Of course, I was given some good-natured ribbing for the rest of the meeting, and a little for the rest of the day, and at least I now have yet another embarrassing moment to tell.

Turns out, I do embarrass!

Well, turns out I do embarrass. Tonight, I was at a dinner/banquet for work, and the entertainment for the evening was Comedy Sportz. I don't know if you know what that is, but it's an improv group. Much like that show "Whose line it is anyway?". Love that show. So after a lot of improv-ing, lot of laughing, they ask for a female volunteer. I didn't volunteer, of course, but the people around me did, and the referee came over, took my hand, and led me onto the stage. Turns out, the thing they were going to do was sing to me. So after some friendly banter (I tried to hold my own against this guy!) they stared singing a song to me, and holy goodness. It's such a weird thing to have a lot of people looking at you while people are singing to you about you. Man, I could feel my face was bright red, and I could not stop laughing.
It was really funny though, I have to admit, and it was good fun to get up there. Thank goodness, however, that thats only the kind of thing that happens once in a blue moon!
