history: The first time my girlfriend picked me up for a date, I was still a total slob. My room was in shambles and my house was falling apart. She asked to use the bathroom, and I almost died when she saw the inside of the place. I can't believe my girlfriend was still interested in me after she saw the slum I was living in. It must be true love!
current: Something like that. My room was in shambles and the house was falling apart! I was mortified when she asked to come inside.
next: I feel like that sometimes - but people have usually seen worse.
