Snot Queen Forever!!

Since only two brave souls have shared their most embarrassing moment, I did promise to share mine. So here it goes. . .
I was about 16 years old and thinking I was pretty cool. I had boyfriend named Russel, and he played hockey for the school team. Life was grand! Then one day I was hanging out with a bunch of the hockey guys, at the rink. We were all standing in a circle, sharing stories and laughing at crude jokes. Well I had a whopper of a cold, and everytime I laughed I sounded like a car back firing. Phelgm was just bubbling up and down my throat, Disgusting! It was starting to make me feel self conscious and knew if I didn`t get control of my rude noises soon, I would be the brunt of cruel ridicule from the gang. So, I determined within myself that no matter what I was not going to snort ot gurgle next time I laughed. Sure enough it happened and I laughed, well I stifled it and laughed with my mouth closed. Before I knew what was happening the biggest most grossest snot bubble formed from my right nostril, I couln`t stop it! It just grew and grew everytime I breathed than all of a sudden it burst! Now how mortified can a teeny bopper feel with her boyfriend and his buddies all standing around. The saving grace was only one guy saw it, Cam, one of the nicest ones of the rangy bunch. He didn`t say a word until later and he too commented on the size of that bubble. He was surprised no one else saw either, they had been listening to someone tell a story and did not look my way, Praise God!
The funny thing about this story is that it was such a huge deal to me, but to this day 24 years later, I have run into Cam 2 or 3 times and he never remembers it, until I tell him. He told me to stop reminding him and soon it would be forgotten. But now that I blogged it to y`all I guess I`ll reign as snot queen for sometime.
Love, Cindy

Cindy,
Yuck - you poor thing - you were lucky to get away so lightly - or it may have taken years of therapy to get you over it!!!!!!

I am doing a very good "headless chicken" dance at the moment. My son goes off on a skiing trip tomorrow and of course, he has just given me his laundry - "I really must have these jeans mum" when there are two other clean pairs hanging in his wardrobe!!! Thank you Lord for automatic washing machines and tumble triers!

I love the nickname- but at least your boyfriend didn't see! As to your comment, I say if you have great perks you should enjoy them! I have an employee discount and can't shere it- you have great medical people and you should take advantage. More power to you and your perks!

If you weren't so beautiful, you would have got dumped!

So, you have been a snot queen and a beauty queen, but at least your not a drag queen.

lol. I suppose there's much worse body function issues to publicly experiment with. luckily- we'll all likely have to wait 40 years for that. but booger bloopers are no laughing matter. ok- actually they are.

I had a pretty bad doo doo moment when I was 10 while trying to briskly walk home from soccer practice. I'll spare you the details. perhaps later on my blog, which is a blog of bloody poetry and getting beat up by bullies. cheaper then a therapist......

cheers!
