A day in the life of an Ohioan turned New Yorker
I'll go first

I figured with all the business of the holiday season, it might be funny to share a few retarded stories with one another. here's a couple of mine:

About four years ago I was in my dorm room getting ready to go talk to this guy whom which I had been interested in. I was blasting Blondie's "One Way or Another" and singing and shouting at the top of my lungs. Since he was kind of eclectic, I decided to go for an eclectic look myself. I wore this baseball t shirt, spiked my hair, and put on this homeade skirt made out of fabric that had oranges and the minute maid logo all over it. After that, I began to put on my makeup. As I was doing this, I kept mouthing the words to the song and danced around the room. I didn't even really look in the mirror as I was painting my face. Eventually, I smoked a cig, calmed down, and left to go see him. Feeling all confident, I walked up to him, gave him a hug and was being all fun and flirtatious. He just kind of looked at me...well...funny. He's like, "Sorry Alison, but I have to go." I was like "ok...whatever..."

I was baffled. Here I was looking hot and laying it on thick, but no dice. Pretty soon after he left my friend Curtis came around the corner and we started to chat.
He began to say, "Alison, I think you need to go to the restroom and take a look in the mirror."
I was like..."Why?"
He said, "Just trust me."

So I went into the bathroom and took a look in the mirror to find that I had lipstick smearred all over below my nose and on my chin. To make matters worse, It was all over my teeth. I then understood why he ran away. ....hehe. I guess I'll look next time I'm putting on my make up.....OOPS!

I'm sorry, I laughed at this story - but it was funny. It's like that commercial with the woman walking down the street with her skirt caught in her underwear, she never noticed it until she got on the elevator...yikes. I have a more recent one, from today; my husband stopped by my office to give me something, then he said, you have something on your lip, I keep brushing at my mouth and asking, is it gone yet? He keeps saying no (think the Sprint commercial!). Then I took out my make up mirror and noticed that my lipstick was gone and you could see a cut I have on my lower lip. It's in a weird position too and lookes odd (got it from my 3 year old being too antsy (or playing too rough) and knicked me on the mouth twice in the same spot (at the time, my teeth grounded against my lip as I tried to avert my face from one of her sommersaults). Before he came to see me, I had a group of people around my desk and I was chatting up a storm and laughing - right after our office Xmas party. I felt bad cause I said to him, this is what I looked like the whole time? I'm a little embarrassed. But I laughed at myself at the same time too.
