Day 16: MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?

For me its really difficult to recall moments that are truly embarrassing. I think this may be because people perhaps suppress negative memories more than positive ones, but I'm no psychologist, so I'll just stop trying to be. One of the most embarrassing moments I can think of happened about two years ago. Me and a couple of my buddies went for a surf at a spot in northern Malibu. After a nice cold winter surf, we were changing out of our wetsuits right on the side of the Pacific Coast Highway. We didn't have to be at school until later in the morning that day, so while we were getting out of our suits, hordes of kids were driving by us, turning off the PCH just across from us at the the entrance to Malibu High, a busy intersection of the PCH at the start and finish of the school day... PERFECT setting for a prank, with many spectators.  I was the last out of my wetsuit, just in my towel about to get dressed. As i begin to reach for my pants, one of my buddies runs up behind me, pulls off my towel, jumps in the car with it (and my clothes), and locks the door and begins honking his car horn to attract attention. So there I am... butt naked on a freezing winter morning...no towel, or clothes...on a busy high school intersection. Honks, whistles, and laughs galore. Great start to a school day...more for them then for me as you can imagine.
