Comments on Awkward.

I avoid that problem by never, ever listening to Elton John.

I find it's a good guideline for living a happy life.

Things like this are why public transit is not the answer.

I guess it's classier than air guitar? There's always a bright side... at least you weren't playing air accordian to Weird Al Yankovik; THAT would be odd.

i play air fiddle to 'come on eileen'. but that's totally different.

I would just kill myself if that happened to me.

@1:
It was on the radio! I didn't even notice it was playing until I looked at my hand!!!

Only you, Lindy, only you. :D

They still play this?

My MP3 player is also a radio ...

4 - sorry, air fiddle is hands down the most vile form of air instrumentation. you should be deeply, deeply ashamed.

@ 4:
Yeah, I can't listen to that song now... I met my first boyfriend dancing to that song. He was a real ass.

But as for Elton John... I'm still pissed that I bought tickets to one of his shows earlier this year and then never got to go...

It doesn't matter which air instrument you play. It matters what faces you're making while you're doing it.

I had a moment like this last night... I knew about the whole lolcats.com thing, but had never spent any time there. Last night, I followed a link there to "Monorail Cat" and started laughing (really more like giggling) so hard I was actually crying.

I was all like, what is wrong with me? This is not that funny! Who have I become, that Monorail Cat has completely incapacitated me?!

Lindy, I've said it before, Awkwardness is cool, sort of, if done right, which may take years to deconstruct (see 2007 book by Mary Cappello).

I guess it's not exactly awkwardness, but something approaching sincere amateurism. Here's a video that has a long history of anecdotes for me, but I'll just let it speak for itself, including the utube commentary on the right. Think of it as an onion for lack of wanting to rant on and on like the diarist head-hoonchos that author on this blog.

What's worse, I am thinking about Monorail Cat and laughing RIGHT NOW. God. I am an idiot.

I believe I have out-horribled you all with my horrendous air-bongos. I mean, where do you go after air bongos? Thank god this is anonymous...

As long as you don't think it's weird that I jump in the air, cheerleader style, whenever I hear Van Halen's 'Jump'

DUH!
It's a requirement!

It's nothing compared to watching someone playing an air badger to Muskrat Love.

@12:
Yeah...The other day Notting Hill came on TV and I couldn't stop watching it and I was all, "Ha ha! Hahahahahaha!"

I masturbated last night to "Candle in the Wind"

The original Marilyn version, or the Princess Di one?

Marilyn.

"All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude"

That's my cue to pop.

"You know when you're driving to work..."

Nope, you lost me there.

Whatever. I did thrusts with an air mic stand earlier this week to "Here I go again." I'm that guy, and I'm kind of ok with it.

My boyfriend plays air guitar on our road trips while I drive. I am always afraid he is going to accidently hit me in the face when his left hand moves quickly on the 'air neck'. I hate that.
