oh, awkward.

I observed someone else doing this today, which is what confirmed for me what I have several times recently suspected is me looking incredibly awkward. (Kind of like that sentence. Sorry. I don't feel like trying to fix it. If you can't make any sense of it, it's not that critical.) Activity in which I believe I look way awkward: running with a backpack. How in the world is one supposed to do this? I do it, and I feel awkward, and I picture myself, and it is terrible. Add to it that the most likely reason I am ever running with a backpack is because I am about to (and usually do) miss a bus, so I'm sure the running with a backpack is compounded by my look of desperation. Oh, me. Oh, my. And as if that's not enough, I usually have two liquid containers in my mesh side bottle holders, so I am undoubtedly running with a backpack with a hopeless look of desperation AND with both hands awkwardly behind on each side trying to hold in these bouncing-around containers that otherwise would fall out.

I hope no one ever videos me.

  1. I, on the other hand, love this image. Although, I can only imagine that when I am in this situation I take this awkwardness to a whole new level.

    My word verification is "prosts". I feel like I need to drink a german beer now.
