Awkward Valentine's Day Cards

by 7 Comments

Looking for some Valentine’s Day cards?

The day is a little awkward, let’s admit that to ourselves. Guys must look all anti-macho walking around with flowers, or thinking of something cheesy to do, and girls are all getting depressed and buying more servings of cookie dough. Hallmark should’ve thought of some other thing to celebrate besides this awkward stuff.

You know, in Spanish, Valentine’s Day is referred to as El dia del amor y la amistad, which translates directly to “the day of love and friendship.” I think that makes more sense.

Oh well, as promised:

To submit your story, or questions (yes, I get the usual “Is it disrespectful to respond to a text while on the toilet bowl?” advice question for some reason), just look for the link titled “Submit” at the top of the homepage and enter it into the form. If you’re too cool for that, email me at awkwardlist [at] gmail [dot] com (substitute in the @ and . ). Minimum 6 words, maximum 70,000 words. It’s the first time I ever try this so please send me some stories to work with, otherwise it’ll just get really awkward around here.

Awkward Trends on Twitter

134. The awkward trends on Twitter

The most random stuff trends on Twitter. Some of them are nice and funny:

#WhenIWasAKid #TodayIAccomplished

But for the most part, the hashtags that trend are very, hmm how can I say this… LIKE THIS:

#ThingsPornTaughtMe  #WeCantBeFriendsIf #SexyBody .. and well some other very inappropriate ones.

Let’s see what’s on now. One second please. … Ah, cool. Check it:

Hey Arnold is on there, awesome!

I sometimes wonder who comes up with these trends, and how they get started. Based on my theory of twittertivity, there is a secret group of internet users that wear only dark clothing and work primarily in basements armed with programs to spam other people and trend each other’s stuff. Or maybe its the far more likely alternative: some famous dude adds a hash tag to one of his tweets and BOOM. Trend.

Now I’m wondering what it says on the #DumpTheHoe:

Seriously, Twitter? Hahaha.

For those of you that were not familiar with Twitter, that’s your lesson on hash tags for today. You’re welcome 🙂 If you have an account, drop me a comment down here with your username and let me follow you on Twitter.

Love: You KNOW This Story

Why do nice guys finish last? The girl ends up liking the jerk instead and blah blah blah.. its always the same thing. People have many explanations for this phenomenon.. why do YOU think it happens?

The topic of love is indeed an awkward one, from getting rejected, to awkwardness of dating life (yes, online too) , and dealing with exes.. so instead on focusing on the “why?” I’ll just .. uh, share this thing I made with you.

Share it with that one nice guy, who always finishes last.. he’ll get his turn.

Enjoy!


To share, use the buttons right at the end of this post to Tweet it, Like it, StumbleUpon it, +1 it, Digg it, Reddit it, Tumblr it, Press it, or Email it. Your click might make a difference to a nice guy out there. Maybe.

56. Wishing a happy birthday on the wrong day

by 14 Comments

Thanks to Facebook and all of these other methods of stalking people, we no longer need to remember people’s birthdays. The internet does that for us too! [Which reminds me, we have some awkward posts coming up regarding social media so if you have any ideas for these, drop them anywhere and I’ll find them somehow.] So now we don’t even have to bother with remembering our friend’s birthdays and blah blah blah. .

 Do you ever feel like you can’t trust a website such as Facebook to have the right information? Every single time I see the little notification of someone’s birthday, I click on their profile to make sure that other people have been commenting on their wall to say happy birthday because wishing it to someone when it isn’t his or her birthday can be very interesting. Even when I think I’m sure, I begin to doubt myself after thinking about how awkward it can be for me if I have it wrong.

My birthday is easy to remember. It’s 7-7 (July 7th) and people still manage to get it wrong. I said “Oh it’s not my birthday today” a total of 3 times. They were close though.

I thought about several solutions for us forgetful people when we’re in doubt.. check it out:

1. Call and ask “Hey, when’s your birthday?” if they say “Today” then be cool about it, say bye, and hang up. Then call back and say “Happy birthday!” as soon as they answer.

2. Check his or her Facebook profile.

3. Call his or her mom and ask. If she doesn’t remember, take the risk and wish your friend happy birthday anyway. It will add joy to his or her life —some much needed joy.

What would you say to the response: “Oh, it’s not my birthday today.”?

[Thanks feistygirl]
