I've got an awful lot of memories of embarrassing moments and stupid things I've done, (you know, things for which I wish I could travel back in time to that occasion and slap the past stupid me real hard! :) And when a really embarrassing moment keeps conjuring up on my mind, I tend to let things like 'oh holy f**' or simply a laughter slip out of my mouth (of course people around have no idea what I'm talking about). I suppose this is really subliminally motivated because I have no control at all whenever it happens! | |
