P.S.

We didn't even make it to the concert in time to go, so all of that embarrassment was all of a waste.

And now you know how ridiculous my life can me.

I still love it though. Even with a possible concussion.

I Have Problems

I am an awkward person. This is a fact that I have learned to live with and some people even like me more for it, because it makes other people feel more comfortable by how uncomfortable I can be. This problem seems to be bad at first glance because it seems like it would be hard for me to make friends because talking with people it almost painful to watch sometimes.

BUT, not so, because people never know what I'm going to say next, and I think it intrigues me. Strangers find me particularly interesting, and once someone is my friend, I swear it's like a game "What ridiculous thing will come out of Alex's mouth today!?" So this problem is good.

One problem that is NOT good, is how insanely clumsy I am, it's like I'm always trying to walk on a trampoline. This is really the most embarrassing thing about me, not the awkwardness that makes up my personality, but the uncoordinated mess that just so happens to be my body. Let me tell you a little story that made today the most embarrassing day I can remember having in a long time. (Not my whole life, but at least since I left high school.)

Today I went to the strip with my cool friend Chase, and we were trying to go to this concert, and we were going to be late.... So we were in a rush. Now, I work in an attorney's office that does work for some of the hotels on the strip, and so I KNOW all about what happens when people slip, trip, or run into things in hotels, and man is that a lot of hassle. I know better than to be a bull in a china shop when I am at these hotels. BUT, the thing is, I can't stop being me. "I'm just being Miley."

OK, SO. I'm walking into this hotel that I will not name, and we're rushing because we still need to walk through this hotel and make it to the cosmopolitan before the show starts, and I open the door that will lead us to the elevator. I try to move so I can hold the door for my friend and I slip on the tile, hit my hip and then my head on the ground, and then immediately stand up and rush into the nearest elevator. Now, this would be almost acceptable if I had hit the ground lightly and somewhat gracefully.

But I didn't, and to make matters worse there were a lot of people around waiting for elevators and they all saw that it wasn't. I know this was sad, but I also know that this was hilarious, and after the people around me got over the initial shock of me almost knocking myself out on the tile, they started to realize how funny it was... and started laughing. Now, I don't know if you have ever been in an elevator with people who are laughing at you, but let me tell you... It is possibly the most embarrassing thing that you could ever hope to experience.

And my "hope to" I mean "avoid at ALL cost."

So let this be a lesson to the world, some things about you personality seem embarrassing but are not, and then there are some things that you should try to hide so nobody EVER sees them. And Lastly, everyone should remember that hotels have slippery floors, and you should be extra careful when you are at any of them in case something happens... and then I'd probably have to do all of the paperwork for it. (Imagine if I had tried to sue and I had to do paperwork for myself... Just kidding, they'd probably fire me before I got to do that! Which is why I got right up and walked away.)

This is my life.
