The Upcoming Month

Hey all!

I apologize for not having any good stories in the past month. This winter has been interestingly boring and lame with respect to the awkwardness. But I did want to explain to everyone what is going on next month.

Somehow, I was talking with someone and magically came up with the marvelous idea to have a featured week or month that not only showed how awkward my life can be but also show that anyone/everyone can have awkward and creepy stories.

With that being said, next month is going to have a bunch of different stories with a variety of interesting storytellers and guest features! Ideally, I want to have a story a day until Valentine's Day (which I think is a terrible holiday on many levels but is filled with fantastically awkward moments). And so if you have any good stories that you want the world wide web to hear about, please write it up and send it to me! (I made a fb event and tried sending it to the people I thought would be the best sources of awkward moments but if you weren't formally invited, you are still welcome to contribute.)

The rules are as follows:
1- It must be true.
2- It must be about yourself (aka an autobiography).
3- It must make me laugh (not hard to accomplish, I might add).
4- YOU must write it yourself.
5- Just because you have one, doesn't mean I'll necessarily use it this time around.
6- It must be funny, awkward or creepy but not insulting towards anyone specifically that readers will know. It can hint at certain people and it can give caution to 'people of similar tastes and habits' but not be prejudice or cruel. (Eg- just because a science nerd tried explaining his feelings towards you using the laws of thermodynamics does not mean that all science nerds are creepy and awkward.)

YAYAYAAY! I'm so excited! The stories I've heard so far are amazing and I can't wait to have everyone read them!
