Everybody do the blog! :)

Holy the blogging trend has started! I wonder how long its gonna go on for? hehe :P

Well lets see, I finally get a day off, Yuppy! :) I also get paid on friday so that's gonna be pretty exciting! :) I thought of what would be fun to write about.. and I got to thinking about embarassing stories and that I should share some with my readers although they are never as funny in writing as they are when told in person.. lol
so here goes... (as a side note for some reason embarassing things happen to me only when in different countries!)

1.) I got mistaken for a prostitute! It's true, we (my sisters and parents) were walking around Geneva and all of a sudden this weird guy who had just gotten off his mo-ped grabbed my arm! I looked up at him totally puzzled and scared (I'm sure my face said it all :P) and actually shouted "ahhh!" in his face and then ran away! :P I ran into a store with my sisters and we were wondering what happened, and then we looked around the street and on every corner there was a prostitute posing and stuff!! So that was a little bit embarrasing.. i must have looked like a prostitute and I was only 15! on the other hand I guess I was a good looking one if he chose me.. umm..that's just wrong :P..

2.) In Italy (Pisa to be exact) there are such things as alarms in the shower.. its for use when something bad happens in the shower and you need assistance (apparently it happens often??? lol) Anyways it looks like one of those light switches that is just a string you pull (and only outside of the shower does it tell you its an alarm).
Because it was such a hot day I was thinking to myself, hmm maybe it puts the ventilator thing in the bathroom on so it'll get rid of the steam! I don't know why I even thought it would do that, since there were no grates in the ceiling or anything, but there I was pulling it repeatedly.. As excpected, it didn't do anything so when I got out of the shower I decided to ask my sisters what that string did.. They explained to me that it was the alarm and I felt so embarassed! I was like.. omg what if the guy at the lobby comes upstairs and is all panicky and wonders what happened and I just tell him that I was pulling it by accident.. plus I can't speak Italian!! I was feeling so embarassed that I decided to hide my face (in shame) in a white towel and after a few minutes of "oooo nooo I can't believe I rung the alarm", as my head emerged from the towel there was an enormous red stain on it.. Yes, my nose had started bleeding.. really bad!! So now if he walked up he'd see me, with my nose bleeding profusely onto the hotel towel and feel shitty for not having come right when the alarm rang, and I'd have to explain to him that it was my fault and nothing was wrong!!!! oi.. luckily he never came, and convenienty we went out for dinner just a few minutes later. If he did go up eventually he would have seen a completely wet orange towel drying on the bed (my sister tried to wash out the blood from it in the sink)..lol as a side note, if I were really dying in the shower.. I'd probably have died.. oh well, it was lucky for me at the time :P

3.)Have you ever needed to go to the bathroom (number 2) so bad that you felt you'd collapse? Well if u havn't then I'll tell you.. it really unpleasant (to put it mildly)! Especially if you are at Waterloo Station in London and don't know where the bathrooms are.. So here I am, getting total gut cramps and no-where to go! (I think it must have been an allergic reaction to the fish and chips I had just eaten). My sisters and Fritz were buying stuff from a "Boots" store (the equivalent to Shopper's), and I told them that I couldnt take it and rushed off in search of a bathroom! I was running around thinking "oh man oh man.. I gotta go sooo bad!!" and my vision was going blurry and I was sweating like hell! (lol.. those of you reading this are probably really grossed out, but it really is quite funny to remember it!) So I finally found the signs for where the bathrooms were and then I remembered that you have to pay.. and I had no money what-so-ever, not even the 10p that you need to get inside, but when I got there, lo-and-behold the coin machine was out of order!!! So it was free! :) I ran inside and took a nice umm... explosive S*#@!! That experience is the closest I think I've ever come to 1.) pooping my pants.. other than when I was a toddler 2.) beleving in a higher power that just happened to have broken the coin machine! :)

Anyways hopefully you guys enjoyed those, and if any of them don't make sense, u can feel free to comment and tell me so! :P And feel free to share your embarassing stories with me! :) I'd love to hear some!
