I was at a Christmas party a few years ago and got picked up by a woman. We ended up at a friend of hers apartment. We fell asleep on the couch. I woke up thinking I had made it to a friend's place, which I know well enough to walk around without my glasses on.

I started towards the bathroom and walked into a glass coffee table. It shattered everywhere.

The worst part was that my glasses where on the table and I could not find them in the pile of broken glass. The woman whose apartment it was comes out and sees her coffee table smashed and starts yelling at me. I had no idea what her name was or where I was. I had to wait for the woman I was with to find my glasses for me before I could leave.

That is hilarious. I actually lost my glasses in September during a night of drunken revelry. I was literally BLIND for 2-3 days after that.

I actually heard on a basketball broadcast LeBron James is "literally on fire". Really? He's burning to death? Great. Or "I was literally laughing my ass off". Your gluteus maximus actually detached themselves from your body you were laughing so hard? Sorry, rant over. (And now I have my most recent awkward moment, albeit on-line)

Has anyone else noted the pandemic of "creep/creeping"? It's apparently the new "cool." Someone will be talking about the party they were at last night...something like "Yeah, I was all creeping up on her!" will be said. Or, there's the classic "I've been creeping him on Facebook! Lolz!".

It's not used in the verb sense. Instead, it's become this weird noun. I've heard it used when someone waved to another person in the dining hall; "Dude stop creeping her!" came from the mouth of a particularly AmJackish guy.

According to my sources within the African American community, "creeping" was in use by black folk before slutty rich white girls hijacked it.

It was most favored by the stoners, and then made its way into the common vernacular of the more popular kids who occasionally hung out with the stoners because of their easy access to pot and ecstasy. Is it possible your mildly obscure state school is actually 8 years behind the times?
