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,...and then there was the time I tried out for the school football team in the first week of the first year of "big" school :D
I didn't want be in the team. I don't even like football. I didn't even know what position to put down. "Right Wing" sounded cool. However, what I do like is girls. Girls like boys who play football. I am good logic boy :D
No.
Because when I don't like something, I either don't do it or do it as half-arsed as is physically possible.
I touched the ball once. I didn't even make it to half time before the PE teacher (all bastards) said "I think we've seen enough. Why don't you get changed?"
Suffice to say I didn't get laid off of it :(
(Did off the cross-country run, though :D)
