Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Oh dear god, this was awful...My friends decided it would be an excellent idea to play at the school rock concert at the end of year 11. They rehearsed alot and I was looking forward to seeing it. The big night came and they played. Oh god, they played. Awfully. Not in time. Not in tune. The singer sounded as though she was in pain. People laughed. A lot. when they asked me how it was, I swallowed all musical pride and told them it had been 'well lit'...
