Well, I guess we all have our moments when we wish we could vanish into thin air,
I thought I should tell you about one of my "oh my god, may I sink through the ground"- moments.

We went up to Stockholm to attend a pressconference with Sid Meiyer,
can't say the conference contained anything in particular, but my boyfriend is a hardcore gamer
and worships guys like him. The last thing I said before leaving was "ok, I´ll bring you back a little autograph then"
just to rub it in that I was going to see Sid Meyer and he couldn't come along.

So after the conference I walk up to the guy and was about to say something like:
"my boyfriend would kill me if I dont get your autograph" that is a direct translation from swedish and in
swedish, the phrase works.
Now, I hadn't talked english for months and when I get up to him on the podium my brain freezes,
a big fat cat jumped up and got my tongue. Instead of my phrase, i started to studder.
-M...M...M...My boyfriend will kill you! I mean me! I mean... Oh shit, will you just sign this?

So Sid, as a gentleman, grabbed the paper and signed his name with the phrase, "Petur, Get civilized!"
And I do think he ment in all kinds of ways...
