Hive Confessions

[Geneva]

Hey, Hive, how ya doin'?

"To truly know someone for their worth you must see them at their lowest point."

That sounds sorta like something somebody might have said sometime, right? No? Whatever. I didn't even really care in the first place. Actually I was testing you and you passed. No, actually you failed! Ha! Bet you feel stupid now, huh? Yeah. How does that feel? *ahem* Anywaaaaay...

What have been some of your more embarrassing moments? Nothing nasty, just moments when you goofed up and found yourself internally facepalming as soon as it happened. Like that awful attempt at a humorous thread introduction just above this for example. I'll start.

One night during a gig I was doing - in the height of my somewhat cringeworthy brony phase - I accidentally referred to a club full of people as 'everypony'. Twice.

So Hive, what are some of your glorious moments of abject failure?

[That's Not Even My Name]

I once called my English tutor mom by mistake. It was pretty embarrassing.

Once in high school I got into a stranger's car mistaking it for my mom's... it was pretty weird, she still offered me a ride home. I said no.

Once my mom gave me her keys to go wait in the car for her. I went out, found it in the parking lot, unlocked it, got in, and realized that it wasn't actually her car, but someone else's that was not only the same make, model, and colour, but was keyed the same. Fortunately, I got out and relocked it and found the right car before anyone noticed, but it was still really weird.

I once used Thraka Green instead Dark Angels Green to paint part of my Hive Tyrant's carapace. Boy was that embarrassing.

How do you even sleep at night?

The first time anyone expressed romantic interest in me, my reaction was just stand and stare into a void as if my world had collapsed. Of course in front of said someone.
It was rather embarrassing at the time, more so as she decided to approach me about it during the goodbye party for before she was moving out of country.

Though now it's just funny to look back at.

I had my first non-solo game of 40k with a friend in a GW store, I used his set, and my own set of AoBR space marines. Mine were nicely painted, but his just had a drybrush of red on black. A little kid came to watch the game. At some point I realized he was holding a space marine the SAME dry brushed red as my friend. I called a halt to the game and called my friend over and basically accused the kid of stealing... without really saying so. I asked where he got it, and told my friend to count his models. Turns out the kid had just painted the model a little bit early. I felt like such an embarrassed jerk that I didn't even properly apologize to the kid, and to make it worse, later on during the game, when his dad came in he told him about it. Nothing really happened, and maybe I was justified, since models have been stolen in the shop before (it's inside a big mall, lots of people wander in) and little kids DO tend to grab and play with things that aren't theirs, but I still feel bad. My friend didn't help at all, he just continued the game. I don't know if he cared or not one way or the other.

Another game related one: I had a game with this awesome guy who let me proxy some of his terminators with my rippers as Warriors for a game when I realized I'd forgotten mine at home. I won the game, but it turns out that I had misread the Warrior's stats, and I'd accidentally used the Prime's stats. To make it worse? later on I bought some Orks from him, and I had to give him $10 less than what we agreed to because I was low on money... he happily agreed but then I opened up my wallet and there was a big wad of cash. I felt so embarrassed, I wanted to explain to him that the rest was for food and for paying back my mother... I didn't... so now I wonder if this guy thought I was the biggest cheapskate, cheating jerk ever. I hope not, he was an awesome guy.

Hey, how ya doin'?

Ah, the old "Sorry, this money isn't really even mine" situation. I've been caught in that before. I was out with friends and explained I had no money to go drinking with them. One of them offered to buy a pint or two for me at the pub when we got there. We arrived at the door and I was asked for ID. When I opened my wallet I realised I forgot about the money for rent I'd withdrawn that morning. I had about €300 just sitting in my wallet on a night out. Again, I was too embarrassed to explain and just hoped no one noticed. They probably did though. My mate still made up on his offer even when I refused. That was the guiltiest tasting drink of my life.

More in the line of Hellbreaker's,

1st time a bo told me he loved me, I responded with "hmmm" and when prodded to further explain the hmmm answered, "I know you do".

2nd time a boy told me he liked me, I responded with, "I see. That makes a lot of sense."

3rd time a boy told he liked me, I responded with, "I sorta figured that out. I'm not dense, but you could be a bit less of a jerk in your attempts to 'subtly' express it."

4th time a boy told me he loved me, I responded with, "I think I love you too."

*facepalms, there is no hope for me*

It's hard to remember one particular moment, since I find myself forgetting most of my life. So the closest thing I can name.. is one particular person. We've met seven or eight years ago, we worked in two small shops selling CDs, so basically we should've being rivals. Still, we befriended, we walked together home, we drank together, we even slept together several times. I really liked her then - don't know about her feelings, women are women and stuff.

The point is, when I was around this person, things always tended to be... strange. I'd always find some way to embarass myself, by saying or doing something stupid, by puking after drinking too much, by inability to... ahem... perform at the worst possible moment. And on top of that, not even me - for some reason there always hapens something with her, when I'm around - like her CPU frying itself just the moment I reached to it, or her CD-player going dead when we tried to listen some nostalgia-inducing OSTs... and more, and more. You've got the idea. I must've been looking like a total walking disaster to her, with -10 luck modifier and critical failure aura perk.

That's why I can't stop but wonder - why she still regularly calls to and visits that disaster.

In case Gasai Yuno is your idol, I guess I'd rather be fiercely refused. Or would I.......? Oh man...

EDIT: It is strange that there are many embarassing memories that keep haunting me VERY often yet I somehow cannot think of anything right now... Maybe with the exception of when we go to this pub of ours, called Romance. Man, that is just.. Disaster. I always say something totally perverted, embarassing, horrible or at least very vulgar (talking about sucking my friend's bambino, crossdressing, my class mate being a total cuunt, etc.) approx. nearly each single time the waitress comes (to make it even worse, my seat is back to the bar).

[Inquisitor Stingray]

Haha, it reminds me of the pilot episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Have quite a few of such moments myself, my aggressive superego has perfected the fine art of reminding me of them whenever I'm about to go to sleep. Rodion Romanovitj going about his business and all.

Hey, how ya doin'?

I think we've all had the Night of Shameful Remembrance from time to time. "Yes, brain! I did eat my little sister's Easter Egg when I was seven! No, I never fessed up. I'm a horrible person, okay!"

[Silegy]

Idk, I'm usually getting these when I am walking somewhere. Anyway, I just remembered one.

With three freinds of mine we went to concert of czech rap duo Prago Union. So we were in, like 2 hours before it was supposed to start (4 hours before it actually started), just talking, listening to some (mostly) terrible trash DJ was playing meanwhile, so I decided to ask him if he would play Skills from Gang Starr. I LOVE the track, although I am not too keen on Gang Starr overall as they are a tiny bit "too oldschool" for me. Also, my friends wanted me to ask for something by La Coka Nostra. Meanwhile, the DJ played some track which we all somehow knew, but nobody could remember what it is. I recognized Ill Bill on the track, but the bells were still failing to ring. My friend was convinced it is Suicide from Jedi Mind Trick's Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell, which I knew it was not, but eh, whatever. The truth is the track was Choose Your Side by La Coka Nostra, from the album A Brand You Can Trust. I totally hate the track, I do not have it in my LCN playlist and this is why I could not remember. So a little while after this, I went to the DJ.
"Hey, playin songs on demand?"
"Well, I guess I could, what do you want?"
"Got some Gang Starr..?"
"Played them already."
"Opps, missed that one. Got Skillz?"
"Ill take a look.............nope, sorry."
"OK, how about some La Coka Nostra?"
"I just played La Coka Nostra."

Needless to say, I wanted to turn back, go home and hang myself.
