WLPW2K: Most Embarassing Moments

July 26, 2010 in WLP Wants To Know

I’ve been reading a lot of YA lately that have embarrassing moments for the main character, which got me thinking to my most embarrassing moments. What better a topic to make us all laugh at each other then stories that still make us cringe!

I have a few & most centre around my Mother & her uncanny ability to make me look like an ass. It’s true, she doesn’t do it intentionally…it just happens & it’s usually at my expense. I’ll start with one that still makes me want to burrow into a hole.

I had to be about 19 & we were walking home from the mall when I saw this beautiful man standing beside us. I lean over & whisper to my Mom “Mom, that guy right there is Ben from Felicity” My mom goes, “no way Tash”. Like I wouldn’t know what the male of my high school dreams looked like, I was a Felicity addict my friends, I KNEW it was him. And then it happened, in slow motion.

“Excuse me, my daughter says you’re Scott Speedman”

I could have died on the spot, right there on a street corner. I’d like to tell you that was the worst of it, that this man looked at her & said no I am not…alas, in my World that doesn’t happen. He looked over at my mom, grinned huge & said “Your daughter is right, I’m Scott nice to meet you”

Did it get worse? Of course it did, again it’s the life of Pixie things can only get worse. How worse? My mother & Scott freaking Speedman are now walking AND talking. You see Scott is from Toronto & decided for some unearthly reason to continue talking to my 4’11 evil mom. I can’t remember clearly what they talked about other then hockey but I can tell you this man walked us HOME. I shit you not, Scott Speedman walked us to the corner of my street! I did not say a single word, I don’t think I did much but nod & pray this would end soon & without my mother inviting him over for dinner. Ugh. Thank You Scott for being such a good sport & you’re hotter in person, if the red on my face was any indication.

I have fallen, I have tripped. Once in knee high hookah boots, my heel clipped the stair entering an underground nightclub…did I fall, nah that would have been to easy in a mini skirt. I slid on my heels all the way down to the bottom of the stairs where I collapsed in a heapof hookah boot hell. I used to work in a Court House & again…flipped down the stairs into the arms of a Police Officer who damn near peed himself.

The last one I can remember was at a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game. Sitting in the front row (my best-friend used to work there, so we’d go in early & watch the practices from the front row). I had my camera & was snapping away when a puck flew with such force into the glass, I thought I got shot. Being Potty Mouth Pixie, I let out a YEEEP followed by a “Son of a Bitch” all whilst clicking the camera. Did I mention it was silent at this point? Every single person in the immediate area burst out laughing. This is the picture evidence, they are looking at me like I am deranged.

I am embarrassment prone my friends. I am sure there are more, but right now 10 years later I am still mortified by the Scott Speedman Incident.
