Do you know that one word?
That one word that completely describes my existence on this earth?
Well of course you don't, you don't even know me. But I bet if you really tried hard enough, you could guess it.
But the thing is, I can't quite think of the word even though the entirety of my life has been revolving around that singular word.
What was it again?
I think it starts with the letter 'A'...
Awesome?
Definitely not.
Aloof?
Closer, but no. (Isn't this word just so fun to say? I could just repeat it all day long. Aloof, aloof, aloof, aloof- wait a second, what was I doing again? Oh yeah...)
Antisocial?
This word perfectly describes me in flying colors but is still not what I'm looking for.
Oh, I got it!
Ackwards!
It totally describes my life! If I had to choose one word to describe me, it would be ackwards.
Yep. Ackwards.
Ackwards.
Ackwards?
Hold on a second...
That doesn't sound right.
Ackwards.
Where have I heard that word before?
*Frantically searches for 'ackwards' definition in an old English dictionary*
Oh yeah...
Ackwards - an old English dialect word describing a creature that's lying on it's back and can't get up.
Um, that's not it either.
Oh, I got it!
This time for good.
The word I was looking for was awkward.
Yep. Awkward.
If you couldn't tell already, I'm awkward.
A ntisocial
W eird
K ooky
W icked
A larming
R andom

I'm just a pile of nonsense living amongst non-cattywampus people.
