Insensitive...

WOOPS!

Oh man you guys, I feel really horrible now.  So we were walking down the hall, and of course I'm a talker and  gillion things are running through my mind at a time, so some random stuff comes up...Just this time, it was bad random stuff, very insensitive.

I was said something along the lines "Sometimes I wish I could just say I have tourettes, well I don't mean the movement one where you just twitch and stuff because that would suck, but the one where you say stuff. Then you could say anything and just be like 'oh I have tourettes'  and then you'd get away with it"  And Scarlett was like "Yeah I know!  Me too"  then the horrible part came.  Marie said "Um, I have tourettes."

And me and Scarlett just looked at each other and were like "OH MY GOD!  I'm SOO SORRY!  I feel terrible now!"

And then she went on about how horrible it is, and how she still has some tics, but it's not like you just bring that up to someone.  I felt so insensitive, I mean, she's my friend and I totally just trampled her feet.

And I wanted to be like "But you seem so normal!"  But that obviously is probably not the thing to say, because just because she has tourettes doesn't mean she isn't normal, which that would sort of imply.

And then I felt like I couldn't make eye contact with her, because I felt like she'd feel like I was watching her for tics when I really wasn't and URGH!  It was just awkward.

I guess it does explain some of the things she does though...

Gosh, terrible terrible.
