i identify with fictional characters.

have you ever read a book or watched a tv show and just seen a particular person (s) and been like "they get it. they get me. they are me. i am them." yes, there is lack of grammar skills there, chill out.

i have come across a few characters lately that i totally identify with.

my name is caroline and i identify with fictional characters.

without further ado, ladies and gentlemen:

 Kenneth Parcell 

he understands what it's like to be jacked up on caffeine, and describes it perfectly. 

i know i've felt this way before.

when he get's excited about something, he get's really excited,

i get excited, but not normally this excited. it all depends on the sitch.

he understands my horror of certain "children's" shows

he understands my love of everybody and television,

he can be really random......exhibit A,

he understand the art of awkward.....and making the awkward even more awkward,

because we all know that saying something is awkward makes it that much more awkward.

and then there is Liz Lemon.

she get's the accomplishment of not being over emotional all the time,

she understands having a love of cheese, 

she get's confused so very easily,

she sometimes has an emotional breakdown from being overly exhausted,

she understands the importance of rewarding yourself,

she understands fashion,

she understands for having a general love of food,

and she knows the accomplishment of talking to a cute guy without being 100% stupid,

and then last but never least, there's Jessica Day.

she's really bad at making decisions,

she sings a lot,

she's clumsy,

she tries to relate to everyone,

she knows her fate and is cool with it, 

she likes being herself,

and she knows the importance of a good dance party.

all in all, these three characters are awkward. and if you have been around here long enough, you know i really like awkward. so these characters get me.

what fictional character (tv, book, or movie, i'm not picky) do you identify with? 

my tagline.

at my job a couple weeks ago, my manager and i were talking about how awkward i am.

see, the thing is, i'm just really awkward. 

it's kinda sad.

but i know we have talked about this before. 

my awkwardness had gotten to the point lately though where i just don't know when to stop. and then something awkward comes out of my mouth. or my arms do something strange. same thing could go for my legs. 

who knows.

things just might get really weird, really fast.

example. i'll be trying very hard to be funny and one wrong move and it becomes awkward. i could have left the joke, situation or whatever as it was and it would have been fine, but nooooooooooo. i have to take it one step further.

and kablam. things get awkward.

this is just my life.

so with all this being said, it was decided that a tagline could be made of this. if you're not sure what a tagline is...well, look it up. google if you have too.
also, feel free to use this tagline when telling people about me. ;)

it's thursday again.

...two of your best friends and your mother blindfold and kidnap you. the ending was happier then the beginning though. don't worry.

... you make any kind of accidental loud noise in the library. it echos.....very loudly.

...you almost walk into someone and while moving out of each
other's way, he does a little jumpity thingy. you are not a boxer. stop bouncing back and forth like on. honestly.

 ...a friend from school knows it's your birthday, and starts
serenadeing to you IN THE LIBRARY.

 ...the same thing happens at your other job, and you get chased into
the bathroom by another serenader.

...you're school mascot is a sandshark and one of the profs. comes
up to the front desk and asks you "how do you sand a shark?" um...i don't know.

 ...you find a book entitled "who moved my cheese?", in the psychology section. i moved you're cheese. guilty.

... your shoes keep tripping you up, ESPECIALLY when you walk by someone.

the weekly awkward moments are back!!

alrighty y'all.

school is back in session. and that means, for me, it's time to be awkward again. and i'm excited about it! yay for awkward!

... i'm going to turn 20 next tuesday (wink wink) and i'm fangirling (and i have loved them since they started but now it's just alot more) over a boy band. i get you thought it was going to be one direction. NOOOPPE. it's those attractive fellows in the link above. don't you judge me. there are alot worse things to listen to out there. and i justify it with the fact that they are either two-three years older then i, so "i have a better chance" then most of the teeny boppers out there. hahahahaha.......awkward.

...one of your two english profs. mixes up a miracle that jesus performed with something completely different. professor said, "locus's to fishes", whereas, correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe it was "water to wine."

...the other english professor, when talking about a project and saying that if we are "a control freak and have to have everything our way, that we need to get over our d*** selves move on. yep, he went there..

finals causes derp faces.

it has been almost a month since i last posted. my bad. school takes over practically everything and then before you know it . . . TIME FOR FINAL EXAMS. it sneaks up and almost bites you (or me in this case) in the bum.

well.......i have something i am excited to post about, and m calling in one of the highlights of my school year. more on that later. hopefully i'll be able to put it up later today or maybe even tomorrow. but then again don't count on that. more then likely, with all my finals this week, it won't come till the weekend. boo.

but just for the record, i have  HAVE NOT dropped off the face of the planet. i'm here. no worries.

until, go wonder on over here.

and heck, i'll even leave you with a derp face or two to hold you over. enjoy it.

p.s.
does anyone else find this new blogger layout awkward? or is it just me? not a fan. yet.

got stay with it some how, right?

alrighty. so this week is my school's spring break. HOLLLLLAAA!!!!! PAAARRRTAAY!

no. no partaaaay's. i am working this week. which is good beacuse i love my job and it means another paycheck. WOOOOT!

....wow, i have not said *woot* in a very long time.....

(sorry for the grainy pics. you know cell phones...)


picture 1:
this is where i work. or at least, part of the view i have from my desk. and usually, there are people scattered ALLLLL ABOUT the library. but noooo. not this week. it's spring break. don't get me wrong, i really do LOVE working here. but this is not fun. and i also have no motivation whatsoever tio do the buttload of homework that was assigned for NEXT WEEK.

picture 2:
my motivation to get some homework done. i will be caffeinated, hydrated and stimulated for HOPEFULLY the next four and a half hours. and since there is no one coming up to the desk every five minutes, i am allowed to sit here with some headphones on and listen to some sweet tunes.

wow! twice this week, so far. i'm getting better at this blogging thing. lol

oh and is anyone else excited for Big Time Rush's movie this weekend? is bad that i am SOOOO EXCITED?

it is?
and you're judging me for it?

"ah well. the wind in my face will dry my tears." (fresh prince of bel air.)

the awkward moment when...

i swear.

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE blogging about my awkward moments. this could explain why i only end up blogging once a week-i'm too focused on noticing my awkward moments and writing them down so i don't forget.

i need to find other things to blog about.

i need to take more pictures.

i need to...

oh poop. i'm getting off topic.

ANYWAYS.....

...when you miss a step and almost die.

ok. yes, that is an exaggeration. while I DID MISS A STEP, i managed to make it look like i was just jumping to the ground. lesson here? never mess with your phone when walking down stairs.

...when you are given an in-class writing assignment and a student writes something, then begins chuckling at his/her work.

you'd think he was planning how to take over the world or something or to revolt or something. *shivers* geez man. way to be creepy.

...when someone is talking really loud in a quiet class room.

it made me question whether or not she had cotton in her ears or something. HONEY CHILD, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOUR BUSINESS. thank you.

...when one of your coworkers describes being all warm and cozy by saying, "i was as warm as a kitten in a window sill." and, i guess, that is an accurate statement.

...when your teacher reads "beauty" as "booty". the thing about this one is that, i MAY have been the only one who noticed this. so to it sounded like she read, "enhancing your natural booty can be done in a few easy steps." hmm...what is this natural booty that you speak of?

...when another teacher is reading a story with some...*ahem*...strong language, but he KEEPS SAYING IT OVER AND OVER AND.......i was about to hit something. ok, not really, but it was getting uncomfortable.

...when yet ANOTHER teacher refers to marie antoinette as the "austrian female dog" but uses another word for female dog. yep. she called her that, alright.

the awkward moment when...

hey ya'll! sorry this is being posted on friday instead of thursday. i had it all ready, but never got the chance to post it.

....when you can tell people recognize you because you work at the library, but don't acknowledge you. this just leaves us with awkward eye contact....MY FAVORITE.

....when the sun is so bright that you can't tell what color the traffic light is. this left me with the decision of "just keep driving and hope for the best." yes i know...that's bad.

....when you over hear a history teacher talking about sometime when everyone was "hooking up and getting pregnant"and my response "......."

....when you are looking outside and you see someone trying to be cool and dribble a basket ball. he then ended up completely dropping the ball entirely. then he proceeded to chase after it. hahahahahahaha ON HIM.

....when you're unraveling headphones and you practically whip your self in the process. may i repeat that, my intelligence never ceases to fail me?

....when someone gets completely irritated because they printed out the wrong thing, and they still have to pay. then when informed this gentleman that even though he messed it up somehow, he still had to pay and then just threw his coins at me.....not really, but he wasn't a happy camper.

....when you're posting a facebook status about said incident and it turns out that you put it as someones wall post instead

....when you think someone is coming to the desk to ask you something but it turns out they just left their water bottle there. and he tried to smoothly pull off the fact that he left something. i guess maybe more awkward for him then me, seeing that i giggled inside.

....when you sneeze and it echos throughout THE ENTIRE LIBRARY. and the silence afterward is haunting.

....when you trip and almost die over the CPU on your computer while trying to check something out to someone.

....when you catch yourself putting a book in the recycle bin. *sigh*

....when your art history teacher tells you about a piece of art and then proceeds to show an animated version of this painting. really??? REALLY. watching an animated version of the piece isn't going to change my feelings about it. and who in their right mind would even WANT to make an animated version of A PAINTING?

....when your studying in the library and the person behind you sounds like a grizzly bear every five minutes or so because he is stretching.

....when you're class mate is talking, rather loudly in the library about...*cough*...female things.

the awkward moment when.....

most of these happened on a monday. probably about half. WHY DO THESE ALWAYS HAPPEN ON A MONDAY?

....your at walmart, and APPARENTLY your pay check has gone through juuuuuuuust yet. and i was at a u-scan. which decided to share the news that i was broke with EVERYONE AT WALMART. those things are so annoying, aren't they? i feel lucky when i find one with the sound TURNED OFF. that's rare.


....when your pulling your heavy bag up off the floor and make a grunting noise because it is so heavy. a quiet-ish grunt, but A GRUNT IS A GRUNT. right as i made this noise, an attractive guy comes around the corner. RIGHT AS I GRUNT. no sir, i am not a pig, MY BIG IS SUPER HEAVY.

....when said attractive guy goes to the water fountain AT LEAST five times during is tie in the library. (disclaimer: the water fountain is past the circulation desk where i work, so i ALWAYS see who comes and goes to the water fountain.) we will call him "mr attractive" for security purposes. SERIOUSLY mr attractive. have you NOT HEARD of a water bottle??? although, later on, THAT SAME DAY, he came back up to the water fountain with a cup. i was having a proud moment for someone i didn't know. i am so weird sometimes.

....freaking out THIS SAME GUY (mr. attractive) when checking out head phones to him. first, because i was at the computer, HE DIDN'T EVEN LET ME KNOW HE WAS THERE. so immediately i felt horrible for not seeing someone was standing there. he just needed a pair of head phones. so second, i check out a pair of headphones to him, but right as i'm handing them i realize that they didn't scan properly. IN MID REACH, i snatch the head phones out of his grasp saying "oh dang it, it didn't scan properly" kinda of loud, i guess. so once i scan the pair of head phones properly, i hand them back saying apologizing. HE JUST STARES AT ME. then he HESITATES to take them back. he takes them and i apologize again. AND HE SAYS NOTHING. making this so much more awkward then it already was. THANK YOU SO MUCH. jeeez..........

....someone in your general proximity has a VERY BAD CASE of monday mornings. and they are VERY audible. lovely. way to make mondays even better. YOU ARE SO HELPFUL.

....when, on Halloween mind you, your friend walks in the library wearing devil horns. then a coworker proceeds to say "oh that little devil is Caroline's friend" think about it. HOW DOES THAT SOUND? i personally thought it was hilarious. :)

....when you stick your hands in the new, fancy schmancy, hand dryer in the bathroom, and it sounds like a CHAINSAW about to SAW YOUR HANDS OFF. who would even WANT to use that? it scared the living daylights outta me, i'll tell you that.

....when you sneeze and your eye twitches almost immediately after. strange feeling, that is.

....when someone walks by and smiles. that's not awkward, except for the fact that he had FLOSS STILL HANGING FROM HIS MOUTH.

....when your walking to class and you see someone sitting on a bench. so how is that awkward, you ask? well, instead of one pair of legs, i see two sitting in the same spot, meaning that someone is sitting in another person's lap. the awkward part is that i realized i had been STARING AT THEM THE ENTIRE TIME i was processing the seating situation. *queue pulling out phone and playing with it so you look busy.....

....when you find out that screaming that you heard in the bathroom last week (you can find that awkward moment here) REALLY. DID. HAPPEN. and that you weren't just imagining it, but now you wish you did. AND THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY ABOUT THAT.

....when your looking at your DISPOSABLE starbucks cup, and it says DO NOT MICROWAVE. what? am i gonna die from microwaving it? i ALWAYS microwave my coffee in that cup when it gets cold. POOP.

....when your walking in the library and someone notices you and looks at you as if they are saying "why are you looking over my shoulder?" when in fact, you ARE NOT LOOKING OVER THEIR SHOULDER. are you doing something you shouldn't be? why do you look so guilty?

....when someone checks out a book entitled "the tequila worm". and it's from the CHILDREN'S SECTION. need i say more.

....when someone comes up to the gamecock bobble head at your desk (yeah that's right CLEMSON fans. A GAMECOCK BOBBLE HEAD. be jealous.) and makes it's head bobble. the just stands there STARING AT IT. creepy much?

....when you can't burp. not WON'T burp, CAN'T. trust me. i would LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BURP, like a normal person. but, except for something SUPER QUIET and rare, i can't do it. AT ALL. and it is uncomfortable. it really is. so instead i hiccup, or just have this massive amount of burp air that i can't push up without making my self vomit. tis a sad life i lead.

....when you look at the mole on your finger at a certain angle and learn that it looks like a pregnant lady's belly button. with hair. delightful, no?

....when your driving fast in the slow lane and some mini van from Connecticut passes you. and the drives is like 100 years old.

....when you get a sweet tea from bojangles and learn that their tea ISN'T AS AWESOME has i had been told. not that i won't drink it,because i am a firm believer in sweet tea. it's just not near as amazing as Micky D's or subway's. OH YEAH. I WENT THERE. WHAT NOW?

....when you talk to yourself in the car as if there is someone else in there with you. and then you answer your self. *facepalm*

put links in the comments about your awkward moments or snag the awkward moment when button and join in every thursday!!!

the awkward moment when.....

there are ALOT of awkward moments in store for today......
you are about to be bombarded......







....you think about your week realize that nothing too terribly awkward has happened thus far. you then began to panic slightly. as soon as you begin to panic, the awkward moments begin flowing. for some reason you feel relieved. you were worried for a second because you wondered if maybe you were knocked unconscious without knowing it.


....when your in the bathroom, with soap on your hands, ready to wash, and the automatic sink DOES NOT COME ON. BEGIN PANIC.....NOW.....


....when you sit around on a sunday afternoon, looking through sparknotes articles, and LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY AT THE CREATIVITY ON THAT SITE. LIKE YOUR HIGH. but of course, you are not high. that would be very wrong.


....when your coworker, who played golf over the weekend, tell you that she "hit the doopey poopy out of the ball" (or something like that)


....when the same coworker, after hearing the alarm go off (BECAUSE APPARENTLY NO ONE CAN READ THE SIGNS ON THE DOORS), says that somebody pulled a "naughty no no."


....when your sitting in the bathroom stall, minding your business while doing your business, and you hear a great deal of toilet paper rustling. no problem there. then, not a second later, you hear EVEN MORE rustling of the TP. and what is going through my mind is, "ARE YOU DYING? WHY DO YOU NEED SO MUCH TOILET PAPER."


....when you rush in to the building, rush into class, sit down, the realize that you have had your jacket on inside out for like 15 minutes. FAIL.


....when you walk in to poli sci class, and your class mate has Selena Gomez playing. now, i have no objection to Selena Gomez. however when your class mate is a dude, and a country boy, and HE LIKES Selena Gomez......well, it's interesting to say the least.


....when your shelf reading, and you come across a book entitled, "lipstick jihad." WHAT??


....when you hold the door open for a guy and a girl and the girl says 'thank you', but her dude friend just grunts. LIKE AN ANIMAL. ok that's a lie, but still. USE YOUR WORDS MAN. IT'S NOT THAT HARD.


....when your day is made by a book called "higgely piggly pop." YES. GIBBERISH FOR THE WIN.


....when you read the word "Counts" as " Coconuts". yes friends, I AM A SWELL READER.


....when some dude thinks that his number was written down, on SOMETHING HE LEFT IN THE LIBRARY, joking suggests that it was looked up for a date. YOU SIR, are very secure in your attractiveness. and while you are very nice to look at (ain't gonna lie about that) , THAT IS NOT WHY YOUR NUMBER WAS LOOKED UP. does that line normally work for you? deflate that head of yours. or i will.


....when you go out to your car on the night of the haunted forest at your school and you realize that your are parked VERY CLOSE TO THE FOREST. you know this because you hear chainsaws and screaming. and is reason enough in it self NOT to participate. college students have sick minds.

....when you comeback inside from your car and swear that you hear screams coming from the bathroom and/or elevator.

....when you open up your sealed drink and the seal breaking is so loud that you hear it echo across the practically empty library. MY BAD. SORRY.

....when you shake up said bottle and find out you for got to tighten the cap because some of the liquid just spilled all over your hands.

....when you repeat the above moment at least two more times. you realize that YOU. ARE. SO. AWESOME.

....when the library is very empty. someone then takes advantage of the silence and decided to hawk some PRETTY MAJOR LOOGIES. over and over and over......ARE YOU DYING? CAN'T YOU GET IT OUT IN ONE MAJOR HAAAAWWWWK. serioulsy.



happy thursday!

the awkward moment when.....

and we begin:

.......you make a to do list and forget what you wanted to do...........*facepalm*

....someone is taking a picture with professional flash and some one is caught off guard by it. the awkward part is that said person almost walks into a wall while shouting the F WORD. really dude? you have just presented everyone in the library with the amount of intelligence that you have. naughty.

......you are doing your job of counting how many people are in the library (and i repeat, this is much easier then it sounds. it's for statistics so i have been told) and you walk by the collaborative lab and find two people playing chess. interesting. and strange......

......quietly taking my anger out on computer because it is not as fast as i needed it to be in that very second. my computer is plenty fast with the right internet connection, i was just being impatient. and we could say that some people noticed a little...

..... your sperry's (shoes) keep coming untied. geez....i feel like a flipping preschooler.

.....your shoes make a flatulent noise while walking. it wasn't loud or anything, but i swear that others probably heard it. I WAS MY SHOES PEOPLE, I SWEAR. i don't walk around and flatulate as i go....

.....you carry books for ONE class and it weighs the same amount as a small child does. this causes you to carry it on your hip AS IF IT WERE A SMALL CHILD. i'm not crazy, i promise i'm not. i just need to shift the weight to another area.....

the awkward moment when.....

this week has been, to put it nicely,

LIKE POO ON A STICK.

but no matter, because guess what day it is........

yes friends it's that time.

time for "the awkward moment when..." post for the week.

here goes nothing.....

.......you forget how to spell you're own name. yes. it IS possible. i don't even remember the circumstance for me to forget. all i know is that i was typing and looked up at the screen (no i cannot type with out looking at the key board) and saw that my name was spelled incorrectly. I. FEEL. SO. SMART. for realllll......

.....once you forget how to spell you're name, YOU FORGET HOW TO SPELL EVERYTHING AFTER THAT. talk about a MAJOR BRAIN FART.

......when your deodorant decides to fail. yes my current deodorant fails to keep me deodorized all day. don't worry. i have fixed the problem.

...when a dude, who is either being chased by a killer or has to go really bad, rushes into the girls bathroom, realizes where he is (because i am standing at the sink washing my hands) and quickly leaves. thanks dude. you're so reassuring. you made me doubt whether or not I was in the correct bathroom.......

.....when you are doing your job of counting how many people are in the library (don't worry, it's easier then it sounds) and someone looks up at you, JUST TO LOOK. doesn't need anything, just looking. wow. make me feel stupid because i'm doing my job. YOU'RE AWESOME.

so my dears, hope you have been entertained yet again by my life. :)

the awkward moment when.....

hi friends! its that time of the week again. ready for some of my awkward moments??

......leaving class you just randomly drop your rolling backpack in the middle of the walk way on the way to work. it stuck to some random groove on the path and i somehow manage to LET GO AND LET IT FALL. no i looked like the idiot who dropped their ROLLING BACKPACK. yay.........

(the rolling backpack: something which one of my lovely class mates said they hadn't seen since middle school. thanks. it's ALL I HAVE FOR A BOOK BAG. otherwise i wouldn't be using it either. trust me.)

.....i did the SAME THING with a water bottle while on my way to work. i was just heading to my job, MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, when, BAM...i somehow let got of my water bottle and it slammed to the ground. lovely.

.....shelving books the other day, and i came across a book titled...well to be tactful, it was titled "the-opposite-of-heterosexual desires in Shakespeare's England." nuff said.

......getting in the swirly, spinny, chairs at work and accidentally pushing myself halfway across my desk area. THEN having to pull my self pack, which normally wouldn't be hard, except for the fact that these spinny rolling chairs are on CARPET. it practically takes and act of congress to pull oneself pack into position.

.......random bugs have a certain fascination with my hair. i recently colored my hair strawberry blonde on top and dark auburn underneath. twice this week, TWICE. a bug has randomly flown around my neck and hair. (sounding like a small helicopter, mind you) this caused me to appear as if i was having an aneurysm or something because i was flinging my hands around my head to shoo it away. the next time, i feel something fall on my head. i reach up to touch it AND IT BUZZES. this left me to brush my hair with my fingers for like FIVE MINUTES trying to be sure it was gone.

......i accidentally let out a burst of excitement IN THE LIBRARY. yeah..........not going to go into much detail on that one. i just got happy about something. them i screamed a little......SORRY.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

have you ever noticed that this blog contains ALOT of awkward moment stories? i have.

but i find them fun to write, and hopefully relatable and entertaining to others.

hope you find them as entertaining as i.....:)

the awkward moment when.....

....you leave for stuff behind a trash can so you can run to the van to get the text book you forgot and someone comes out of a class room and sees you rush off with out your stuff.

Poor guy might have thought that i was leaving for one to deposit drugs into my bag.

i literally had fifteen minutes before class started when i rushed out to get my text book. I SWEAR IT'S TRUE.

.....when, shortly after forgotten text book incident, you accidentally drop ALL OF YOUR STUFF on the ground outside of an open classroom full of students taking an exam. i thought sure i was gonna get yelled at.

all i can say is "WHOOPS, SORRY! MY BAD." and go about my business.

.....when you're reading some one's blog, which has music playing, and you forgot that you didn't turn your volume off, resulting in music blasting IN THE LIBRARY. whoooops.......completely accidental folks....
