"  I don&amp;#039;t get embarrassed very easily. I spent a lot of my time during my senior year on stage making announcements in front of the whole school, sometimes messing up what I was going to say or doing something silly with a friend. It doesn&amp;#039;t phase me in the least. However, the other night, I was coming home from a late night out with some friends, and something really, truly embarrassing happened (ugh - I never thought that I would say that!)  I am living on the fourth floor of my building, and since I didn&amp;#039;t get a chance to run that day, I figured that I would take the stairs. Anything is better than nothing, right? I put on my ipod, and prepared myself for sprinting. I love to listen to musical theatre soundtracks while I work out - it gets me really pumped up and I like to choreograph dances to the songs while I&amp;#039;m on the treadmill (it passes the time, I swear!) I put on the song &amp;quot;You Can&amp;#039;t Stop the Beat&amp;quot; from Hairspray as I started to run up the stairs. No, run is an understatement. I flew like the wind up those stairs.  All of a sudden, as I turned the corner for my last set of stairs, I ran smack into this adorable boy. Now, when I say ran into, I mean like in cartoons when the two characters hit each other and both fall backwards. And when I say adorable, I mean tall, short blonde hair, not too muscular but cute in a computer-nerd sort of way - totally my type. I&amp;#039;ve been watching him come and go from the building for a couple of weeks now and haven&amp;#039;t been able to muster up the courage to talk to him. Well, we both bounced off each other, hitting the ground in a tangle of headphones. &amp;quot;I am SO sorry,&amp;quot; I said, trying to get up without flashing him anymore than I might have already (I was wearing a really cute dress at the time). He sort of shook his head and tried to stand up. &amp;quot;Good Lord,&amp;quot; he said, and to my relief he kind of smiled, &amp;quot;Where are you going in such a hurry?&amp;quot;  I tried to think of something witty to say but he just shook it off and started to head back down the stairs. As he passed though, he turned to me and said &amp;quot;By the way, I love Hairspray.&amp;quot; My iPod was still playing the song at full volume, and you could totally hear it coming through my headphones. I just sort of smiled stupidly and couldn&amp;#039;t think of anything to say. I was totally mortified!  There is one good thing that came out of this story. Every time I see the guy in passing, he nods at me like we share a story (yeah, of me being a fool!) Now I know that I should just go running during the day and take the elevator at night - I think it will save me a lot of pain and trauma!  xx kelso "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
