4. Describe one of the most embarrassing moments in your life.
In college, I was taking an elective music appreciation course, and a famous electro-acoustic avant-garde composer that I respected very much came as a guest lecturer and was explaining his recording techniques. I raised my hand and said something like, “I’m sorry. I didn’t quite understand what you were just explaining. Would you mind please going over the last minute or so of content once more?” And he responded by asking me if I knew what a microphone was. Then he went on to describe what microphones do in an extraordinarily simplistic condescending way. I remember being even more embarrassed by how obviously embarrassed I was. If it happened now I would’ve been like well do you know what a ding dong is because you’re about to be choking on mine bitch. But at the time I just sat there looking at the floor.

Cheese on anything.
