On the internet interview from the Tonight Show Summer Concert Series, the interviewer asked David what question he would like to ask his fans. He said he wants to know our most embarrassing moments. I thought this would make an entertaining thread to start, so please share yours. Maybe he will stop in and read them sometime...
Put the first one you think of, but come back and add more when you think of them too. I'll start with two:
========
I was about 25 years old (David's age) and walking over a sand dune onto Assateque beach wearing a bikini (not something I did often. The dune was really visible from everywhere on the beach and was the main entrance to the beach. There was a family resting there. I bent over to pick up my sandals after I kicked them off and my bikini top popped off. I was topless on the top of a very visible sand dune on the beach and I know people saw me. (I am not the type to show off my goods if you know what I mean.) I was mortified...
More recently - like within the past month
My 6 year old daughter walks into our kitchen and excitedly tells my husband....
"Mommy is going to marry David Cook !!!"
(Now where did she ever get that idea? I only listen to his music 24/7. Kids say the darndest things.)

Oh man, I have sooo many embarassing moments. I don't know where to begin.
I dont know why this is embarassing but ill share it anyways.
---
When i was in my last year of high school I was having difficulty breathing. I went to a uniform school (which is both bad and good, i knew what i was going to wear and bad because i never wanted to 'obey' the uniform rules) anyways on this particular day I was wearing my kilt... I was in my first period class complaining to my teacher about how i was having problems breathing. she told me i was delusional and for me to go sit back down.
So I did. Around lunch time I went back to my locker grabbed my wallet and headed towards the cafetorium. In order to get there you have to go down like 2 large stairs.
I grabbed my friend and I fainted down the flight of stairs (on the first flight there were 15 stairs).. and of course my kilt flew up so the whole entire school saw me in my underwear.
I guess its a good thing i was unconcious, but still pretty embarassing. ahha

I would have to say my most embarrassing moment was when I had to use the bathroom really bad at one of the fast food restaurants my friend and I went to. I wasn't patient enough to wait for a stahl that had a working lock; so I went into one that had a broken lock. I couldn't get it to lock, and I really had to go, so I took my chances. In the middle of going, an older lady opens the door on me by mistake thinking that the stahl was available. "Hey! Someone's in here" I shouted. I apologized saying that the lock wasn't working properly. LOL; that really sucked.

Thank you

I appreciate it.
I'm totally fine now, i think it was just a freak thing.
They thought my lungs collapsed since I'm prone to that or something my family doctor said.
but they never figured out why i couldnt breathe.
but im fine

thank you!!
Ph i know, its more embarassed due to the fact the whole school saw my underwear and i dont remember it i just remember our school police officer and some teachers hoovering over me. LOL. and the fact that my math teacher saw my underwear and attending his classes afterwards was a little awkward to say the least hahah.
hrcdrc25 Wow, thats my worst fear seriously... using a public washroom and someone walking in on me.
something similar happened to me it was so weird.
OH MAN i have another embarassing story.
------
I met this friend through one of my best friends, she moved to Ontario where my best friend lives (well i lve in ontario but we're 3 hours apart) anyways, i took a bus up to spend a week up there with them and my best friend we've known each other for almost 7 years. which i do have friends that ive known longer just this person is someone i consider genuine, selfless...etc and we're really close.
Anyways I took the bus up, and i was wearing a tube top. I don't normally wear one unless its extremely hot or im just lounging.
Well my best friend came to pick me up at the bus station we drove back to her house where my other friend was waiting.
we ran towards each other as if we were 12 HAHA and i still had all my bags and the one that was around my shoulder as i went to go pull it off it pulled down my shirt. I was glad i was wearing a strapless bra but still,... meeting someone for the first time and my shirt was already off. hhahaha okay that sounded weird but thats my humour haha. it was still embarassing LOL. we laugh about it now but you know

i have a few i can't share online, but can share this one!
i was at a business dinner with my hubby (his business colleagues). I was wearing a great little black cocktail dress, and stilettos. I was looking good (i thought). I had to nip into the ladies room, and then i came back to our table. One of the waiters came over and whispered in my ear "there is a problem..." and then i realized OMG the back of my dress was tucked into my pantyhose - I had walked across the dining room in front of all these executives with the back of my skirt tucked in up at my waist and my undies showing. thank god the meeting was in italy and my husband has since changed companies - so i don't have to see any of those people again...

OMG...that happened to me once in highschool. i went to a uniform school, but we went to see Porgy and Bess on a field trip and had to dress up. When we got back, I went to the bathroom and then walked across the entire building to my homeroom with my skirt tucked into my pantyhose. I wanted to die.
I actually have a worse embarassing moment, but don't want to post it online

hmm...i have plenty of embarrassing moments but for the life of me it is hard to think of the funnier ones at this time...
One thats not really that bad but still sucked was...
It was 3 years ago during my freshman year of high school and i was a member of the basketball team, which meant on game days we had to dress up nicely. I myself have never been very good in heels (its just not a good sight!), and my high schools hallway comes complete with this ramp type thing that you can't avoid walking down. So as i was walking down the hallway ramp in my 3 and 1/2 inch heels i fell flat on my butt, completely busted it for lack of better words. This wouldn't be all that bad if pretty much all of the population of my school (which might i add is over 1000 people) hadn't been milling through the hallway at about that time.

Okay, this one is gonna gross people out, but, it's my most embarassing moment. When I was in my 20's, I used to do nude modeling (yes, I was kinda cute and thin then) and I mean, artistic nude, for college art and photography classes. Well, I also used to party hearty, if you know what I mean. I'd gone out the night before and stayed out very late. I'd made a sitting for some photography students for that Saturday morning, but I woke up late and was in a hurry, so I showered, got cleaned up and went. I was still a little wacky, though. I forgot something important. I was having that time of the month....tampon...string...instructor pulling me aside and letting me know after I'd already been sitting on the table with everything THERE. I could barely face those students again. After class, I took my money and shot out fast.

Oh my goodness, I too lost my bikini top. I was on vacation in Cancun and hanging out at the pool. There were some guys from NY next to me just chillin at the pool and they were playing their music on cassette tapes.(yeah was a long time ago-do they still make those?LOL!) All of the sudden I am there and the threading comes out of the back hook of my top and I am topless! I thought it just came unhooked but no the actual thread came out, cause I was trying to rehook it. I then grabbed a towel quickly, I was so embrassed. The guys from NY say to me, "Don't worry we didn't see anything" and they crack up laughing!!! I was so embrassed!! I am sure I have a few more but reading the others that had this happen to them sure brought back memories!!

haha ok...I got one.... 
When I was around 16 or so, I was staying after school and getting changed for play rehearsal. A few friends and I were in the bathroom, and we're the type where we're a little comfortable with changing in front of each other...anyways, my top was stuck somehow, I forget exactly how it was, and I had to work to get it off, and after I finally did, I went to get the new top, and one of my friends went "Steph...uh....you might wanna fix that..." and and I looked down to see that my bra was uh....well, it's just say it shifted out of place.... 
Luckily she was the only one that saw that, but still....kinda blush-worthy there.....*irks away awkwardly*

Oh I know the answer to this.
--
I was walking home from school my freshman year of high school. I had on a skirt, since I went to a private school we had uniforms. I was listening to my CD player (I remember the song... All Day I Dream About Sex by JC Chasez -
http://youtube.com/watch?v=RxfblAiZKb0), and I had on a really big backpack, since I was a little nerdy back then. The walk from my school to home was about a mile, and I walked it every day. So I was walking, and I was about three blocks away from my house on the very busy main road. All of a sudden, I get a tap on my shoulder, and its two girls. I take off my headphones, and they're like "Um, you're skirt is riding up." I felt around to my butt, and the whole entire back of my skirt is around my waist. And too make matters worse, I had on a pair of white undies that said 'HOT STUFF' in big letters that went across the whole back of them. I tugged down my skirt really quickly and ran the whole rest of the way home.

Ok, I wanted to meet and talk to this singer after a show, say "good show", etc. a few years ago. I was with some friends and a bunch of other people. We were all standing on a very slanted surface and I had high heeled boots on but thought I had it covered ok. Apparently not, because when he looked at me and I said hi, I lost my balance and fell right on his shoes. Then b/c it was a slanted surface I couldn't get up which made it even worse. He's just staring at me and looking at me like I am the biggest idiot he'd ever seen (because I am) and my friends never even noticed I'm on the ground..they just continue babbling to ea other and he's trying to kind of shoo me off his shoes, still staring at me wondering what the hell I'm doing. He eventually had to help me up which made it worse. Not one of my finer moments. I can only imagine what I would/will ever do if I met Mr. Cook face to face.

Probably that time back in Grade 6 when I had to present a small speech in front of the entire school for our annual Fashion Show. I left my cue cards at home and had to go up there and recall as much of my script as I could. I struggled through it and ran off the stage in tears. Later I was told that my fly had been down too.

I was in 4th grade and my class was walking up to lunch and when we got into the doorway. My friend and I both bent down to get something and when we both got up we both hit our heads. And I almost fell backwards. And he was my crush then.
I was mad at my friend at summer camp and my summer camp counselor tried to cheer me up and he said a funny joke and I couldn't stop laughing and I had soda in my mouth and spit it out at my other camp counselor.

i gotta say it takes a lot to embarrass me anymore!
i've peed my pants more times than i can count. not because i wasn't potty trained... but from about middle school to college, if i laughed really really hard at something, i would piss myself. i had to work really hard at letting my laughter out and i think (knock on wood) i've managed to overcome it (haha... i mean, it's been quite a few years now!). truth is though, most of the time the people i was around were my siblings and my best friends and i didn't really get embarrassed in front of them.
i'm sure there are plenty of stupid things i've done over time... but i can laugh at myself harder than the rest of them, so it's really not too bad.
ETA:
boobs flying out of bikinis, falling down stairs, walking in on people in the bathroom... pfshhh... i've done all these things. i guess i really don't get embarrassed easily. heck... i will willingly use the stall with the broken lock... i just don't care!! haha
i will say, the nude model story takes the cake so far!

oh man, some of your stories are a lot embarassing than mine!
oh man....
ChiCook oh man, what band was it if i could ask?!
you reminded me of mine.
I went to much music (a canadian television channel, kind of like MTV only it plays a lot more shows that involves music) to see Our Lady Peace. This was when they went there to promote their last studio release "healthy in paranoid times" and every time i meet them i bring a gift for a different member. this time was Raines turn.
He came up to me, smiled and said "hey again!" then he signed my dvd cover for their live dvd... and smiled since i was the only where there who had it and he was like "did you enjoy this?!" and i said "yes, but i wish it was one of the concerts i went too" and he was like "Which ones have you been to?!" and i was like "Usually all of them in toronto, london or hamilton" and he just smiled and was like thank you.
I forgot to give him his gift. I was so nervous talking to that man, he has been someone ive looked up to since i was 4 and im now 19... anyways i managed to squeak in a picture with all the other members (jeremy, duncan and steve)
Raine comes walking back he forgot to give me back my sharpie and my friend litterally PUNCHED me and was like KATIE GIVE HIM THE GIFT.. and raine was just staring at my friend and kinda looked at me like "WTF!" hahah so i gave him his gift which was an Elvis picture frame since he grew up listening to elvis and i thought he'd like to put a family picture in there or maybe just of his kids. i dont know.
He went to go hug me but i did this really awkward thing that was kinda like a hug with a hand shake. it was weird. LOL. i dont know why thats embarassing but my friend punched me then the weird hug... to me that was pretty embarassing.

i work in the medical field, and at the hospital i worked at, i went to get something out of the vending machine. it took my money and i put my finger into the hole to push the money return button and it clamped down on my finger and i couldnt get it out. i had to call for help! we couldnt get it out. so they had to call the vending machine guy to open the machine, who was 30 min away. so while we waited, all the hospital staff came and laughed at me and they even took my picture!! it was awful!

Ha ha! These are great. I must say I always embarrass myself. I've done it sooo much that when it happens to me now I'm usually the one hysterical on the ground before anyone else has a chance to laugh. But reading these actually made me think of one I had not thought of in years.
I was either 16 or 17 and my friends and I went to the movies. We sat in the back row. Well my friend Steph had to go to the bathroom and didn't want to go by herself (movie sucked anyways) so I went. Now coming back into the movie theatre I didn't notice when we went in that the last row was up on a little platform. Well needless to say I tripped on it and fell right into the lap of this older gentlemen. To make matters worse my friend and I were laughing so hard I couldn't get up and she couldn't help me up and just left me there! The man's lap I fell in didn't think it was sooo funny!
And lets see there was the embarrassing date when I was 21. We went to a football game. At halftime I decide to go to the bathroom, oddly enough no one was in there. But sadly it was freezing that day and my gloves did not keep my hands warm! Couldn't get my leather gloves off and then when I did it was impossible to get my jeans unbuttoned and zipped. I was in the bathroom for 20 minutes!!! Then on the ride home he wanted to stop and get something to eat, I wasn't hungry and had been sucking on a lollipop. He kept asking while he ate if I was sure I didn't have to go to the bathroom. I thought it was odd but guessed it was cause we still had an hours drive and he just wanted to make sure before we got back into the car. Well it wasn't till I got home I noticed some of the lollipop had broken off and was stuck to my face...just on the outside of my lips! No wonder people at McDonalds looked at me strange! LOL

I can totally relate to this one! I was taking my Final History Exam my senior year in high school. Once we were finished, we could turn our test in and leave. I was sitting at the back of the room, so when I was finished I walked up to the front of the room to place my test on the teacher's desk. I then proceeded to the ladies room, where I soon discovered that "that time of the month" had just started. The problem is that I was wearing WHITE shorts!!! So, anyone watching me turn my test in would have seen RED! UGH! I was mortified. I ended up putting my shorts on backwards, holding my books in front of me and walking to the gym where I had gym shorts in my locker. My cheeks are turning red now just thinking about it.

When i was in high school, i was in a musical called 'south pacific", i played a polynesian singer and dancer. we had to run down a ramp for curtain calls at the end, and i was wearing stockings and i slid down the whole rampl, like i was on a banana peel, infront of the school. it was a dress rehearsal for the school. It was so embarrasing... everyone laughed, and i knew not to wear stockings for the performances.
another one-
a little more recently, i was in the bathroom at home, and my 2 and half year old son, hands me a tampon, saying" here mommy". it was a tender moment between us... lol

Oh good Lord I am a walking accident waiting to happen. I've learned to not get embarrassed anymore because I just do way too much stupid stuff to get embarrassed every time over it.
The most memorable moments would have to be:
1. When I was in 3rd grade, we had to write reports about racism and why it's bad and all that jazz. Well, I've always been a good writer, and apparently my report was the best in the class, so lo and behold, turns out I had to present my report...in the auditorium...in front of the WHOLE school. Needless to say, i was VERY shy up until high school...and no one told us we'd have to present anything. So the day to present comes along, and I stand up on the stage, walk up to the podium with the microphone, put my report down on it, and start to say "Hi, my name is Valerie Sh..." and that was all I got out before I started cracking up. Of course, since I started laughing, the whole school started laughing, which totally embarrassed me. I raced through my speech and ran offstage in tears and my teacher spent the rest of the school day trying to calm me down. I will NEVER forget that horrible day.
2. I broke my wrist bowling during a school trip when I was 11. Who breaks their wrist BOWLING? I mean really?!
3. I have a bad habit of making out with people when I'm drunk...both girls and guys, even though I'm straight. I was at a friend's house a few years ago and he's gay, and so were most of his friends. We all slept at his house, and I had woken up the next day and went into the kitchen to get something to drink and out walks this really good looking gay guy, and the first thing out of his mouth to me is "I think you may have turned me bi last night" and I looked at him like he was retarded and was like "What the hell are you talking about??" and he had to explain it to me. THAT was embarrassing...not remembering o_O. And then there were pictures on my camera :-X
4. Went to go see The Used last year and got WAY too drunk before the show, ended up passing out in the middle of Roseland Ballroom in NYC, waking up, puking, falling down stairs, don't remember any of it, don't remember how I got home, but had to do a photoshoot the next day (I'm a makeup artist)...doing makeup with a massive hangover is NOT fun...and I was at the show with like 1/2 of my classmates from make up school...and it was probably the 3rd week of school out of 4 months.
5. Fainted at Ozzfest like 2 years ago from the heat.
And of course as with everyone else I walk into things all the time, trip over things, walk into people (I can't walk a straight line if my life depended on it), etc.
There's so many more...I'll post them as I remember them.

I can totally relate to this one! I was taking my Final History Exam my senior year in high school. Once we were finished, we could turn our test in and leave. I was sitting at the back of the room, so when I was finished I walked up to the front of the room to place my test on the teacher's desk. I then proceeded to the ladies room, where I soon discovered that "that time of the month" had just started. The problem is that I was wearing WHITE shorts!!! So, anyone watching me turn my test in would have seen RED! UGH! I was mortified. I ended up putting my shorts on backwards, holding my books in front of me and walking to the gym where I had gym shorts in my locker. My cheeks are turning red now just thinking about it.
Oh I've been there!! Sixth grade had on light blue jeans and was in gym class (ugh a year away from where you actually get to change your clothes for gym!). While stretching to touch my toes I heard some girls behind me trying to get my attention, course I didn't hear what they were saying right away. Then when I stretched on the floor I noticed and grabbed my friend (so she could walk behind me) and asked the gym teacher if I could go to the nurse. There I had to call my mom, of course she wasn't home so I had to call my grandpa who lived next door. By the time I got changed my grandpa had left and gym class was over so I had to go back to class. All the boys kept asking me what was in the plastic bag I had as I tried to shove it as quickly as I could into my backpack!! Course they all knew what happened...come to school with light blue jeans and now you have black ones on! LOL

Probably that time back in Grade 6 when I had to present a small speech in front of the entire school for our annual Fashion Show. I left my cue cards at home and had to go up there and recall as much of my script as I could. I struggled through it and ran off the stage in tears. Later I was told that my fly had been down too.
Chuckle, chuckle... made me laugh. Nothing ever seems as funny as a fly being down.

I was in 4th grade and my class was walking up to lunch and when we got into the doorway. My friend and I both bent down to get something and when we both got up we both hit our heads. And I almost fell backwards. And he was my crush then.
I was mad at my friend at summer camp and my summer camp counselor tried to cheer me up and he said a funny joke and I couldn't stop laughing and I had soda in my mouth and spit it out at my other camp counselor.

Cool, thanks for sharing! I see it looks like your first post. Welcome!

i work in the medical field, and at the hospital i worked at, i went to get something out of the vending machine. it took my money and i put my finger into the hole to push the money return button and it clamped down on my finger and i couldnt get it out. i had to call for help! we couldnt get it out. so they had to call the vending machine guy to open the machine, who was 30 min away. so while we waited, all the hospital staff came and laughed at me and they even took my picture!! it was awful!
LOL,, soda coming up through my nose. GROSS. But thanks for the laugh. Laughter is so good for the soul. I wish DC would read these!!!
Oh my gosh, everyone... these are great. Thanks so much for sharing. I am having a blast reading these stories. I have read everyone and want to reply to everyone, but my reply is already like way too long with all the quotes in it since I am the only one replying right now.
So keep on sharing and spread the word. This thread is working out great and is tons of fun.

Okay so I used to run on my high school cross-country team. I was by no means the best runner, but it was fun. Well we used to practice our trail running in the nearby forest. the first time.... i got lost. my team had to come and find me, and after that i was never allowed to run without a whistle. Now you would
think that that would be my most embarassing moment. But you'd be
wrong. One day during practice the team was running through a trail that was closed to the general public (we had permission to use it) and it was blocked off by a chain. Remember when I said that I wasn't the best runner on the team? There was a reason for saying that. You see I was left behind in their cloud of dust and I didn't see that
they had jumped over or gone around the chain. Heck, I didn't even
see the chain... until I was flipping over it. That's right. Picture something my might have seen in a cartoon when you were 8 and that's what really happened. I hit the chain mid-thigh and flipped twice. (I suppose I should have been on the gymnastics team) To this day I still have scars from the bruises I got from breaking the blood vessels in my legs that day!

Talking to some random guy at an arcade for 5 whole minutes before realizing he was *not* my brother.
OH MY GOODNESS. that is hilarious.
not in a bad way though... do you laugh about that now?!
did he look like your brother?!
I have two stories.
1.)Again when i was in my last year of high school i thought my friend at the time was still walking beside me
and i was talking and laughing and probably telling some lame joke.
People were staring at me and I realized she wasn't beside me, so basically i was talking and laughing to myself.
2.) I actually talk and laugh in my sleep. which is weird. hahaha also i was born extremely early so I actually sleep with one eye partly opened. no one notices it until i say something because its not noticable but however... I was staying at my friends house she lives 3 hours away from me... and she thought I was awake because of my eye thing... but i was actually asleep... i stood up (if you know what i mean) pointed in the dark corner and said "OMG A PUPPY!!!" and went back down then i started laughing. she thought i was awake and gone crazy.. so a few hours later i woke up and she goes "Katie, what puppy were you talking about"... and her dad was looking at me and i was like...."what?!" and she was like "A few hours ago, you pointed and said there was a puppy".
I think her dad thinks that I'm crazy.. that was pretty embarassing since it was the first time meeting him... aside from talking to him over the phone if shes not home or something hahaha. i was pretty embarassed.

I just laughed soooo hard at this one because i also talk and do weird things in my sleep. One time i was sleeping over my friends house and i had this dream about puppies actually...(i wonder what it means if you dream about puppies??) anyway, in the dream we were only getting a boy puppy. i yelled out "IT'S A MALE!!!" very loudly in my sleep because i was so excited when i found one!

oooh reminds me!
just the other day a friend of mine and i were at the movie store returning movies that we had rented...my friends car is this dark gray color and when we pulled into the place it was the only one that was that color that was in the lot. not thinking and not paying attention when we left the building, i saw a car that was pretty much the same color as my friend's and automatically went to the passenger side door and put my hand on it...it was only then did i realize that this was not in fact my friends car, it was actually some random guys car and he was sitting there looking at me like i was crazy. to make matters worse as i went to run away, i was too busy laughing to see the sidewalk and tripped over it!

Word of the day: “BIDET”
(aka, My Most Embarrassing Moment by NEMO Cougar #40)
Okay, even some of my best friends don’t know this story. If you’re laughing already, you know what a bidet is. If you don’t, and you’re a word nerd, check it out here at Wikipedia:
"bidet"I was visiting a friend of a friend in his flat in Paris (yes, THAT Paris!) I know, this sounds like something out of a fanfic so far, but this is a TRUE story. And, for this early-20-something, midwestern, novice international traveler, it was just as romantic and adventurous as it sounds to be in someone’s flat in Paris. We were having a great time – my girl friend, myself, and our host. I thought I was pretty darn sophisticated – I mean, wine, bread, cheese, Paris, yeh. Eventually, I needed to use the, for want of a better word, facilities.
Our charming host pointed me in the right direction and went back to the conversation with my friend. I headed down the hall and quickly found the expected room – it contained a sink, a bathtub, and – so I thought – a toilet. It looked a little different than I was used to back in Ohio, but lots of things in Paris were different. I relieved myself and turned around to flush – uh – where’s the handle? – uh – oh no. No way. I didn’t. Yeh, I did. I peed in the guy’s bidet.
I knew right then it was a bidet – I’m a word nerd and I sorta knew the meaning, I just never saw one before. And, since it was so perfectly and predictably (by American standards) placed between the sink and the tub, and I’d had SOME wine, I was fooled. The real toilet was in a separate little closet (yeh, a WC (water closet), which is also quite common in Europe).
Well, what to do now? I cleaned up as best I could. But hey, it’s not like I was at some huge party and I could duck out and no one would ever know the difference. No doubt he would figure out who the culprit had been. I mean, people BATHE in bidets and I HAD to confess. YIKES!
So, I went back and told the poor man what happened and apologized. He was wonderful about it of course, but I can only imagine how many shades of red I was the rest of that evening in Paris. Thirty years have gone by since – this is still my most embarrassing moment, and I’m hoping to keep it that way!
Moral of the story (advice for David or any 20-something novice world travelers): don’t pee in anything you can’t flush.

I have no starting point for this topic because it's an endless thread.
How about this.....Try leaning over your desk only to dip your left boob in a hot cup of coffee while talking to a cute IT dude. hubba....I love puter geeks the best! BTW...guess what color my blouse was.....=)
I think I've fallen and twisted my ankles so many times while leaving an executive meeting that I don't even count any more. And I stopped wearing heals a long time ago which is really sad because I'm so darn short.
My hearing isn't that great in my left ear so I hear all sorts of strange things folks never said! Usually keeping myself in stitches while I'm listening! It's such fun!
And my eyesight isn't that great either so I sometimes miss the finer details, like which door is the Women's restroom. Once, as I exited the stall, a man came into the restroom and I yelled, "Hey! Get outta here man!" He yelled back at me while holding the door, with the MENs sign, "No, you get outta here" LOL
Good times I'm telling ya! I AM the never ending laughaholic and I INSIST on having fun while I'm here!

PS - I was going to say something along those lines as well! Problem, is, I haven't really been "outed" yet! But I think I'm embarassed for myself, if ya know what I mean. Is it possible to live in a sort of constant state of embarassment privately?????
