    So anyways, Sister gets asked to "babysit" family friends kids tonight (they were asleep :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) for $10. She says ok, and asks if I'll come, and buys me something for dinner to compensate. So we're walking to friends house (About 10 blocks away), and as we reach their block, (It's pitch black, moon covered up by clouds, only street lights at the street corners) I hear something.

    I ask her if she heard that, and she says stop being such a worry wart. So I turn around, and start walking. Unfortunately, I completely don't notice the fact there's a driveway right in front of us, so as I step forward, I don't expect the drop in height, or the slope, so next thing I know, my ankle twists, and I go down. I get up, in pain, and wobble to the friends house, like 20 feet away XD

    So now I'm sitting here (at home now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: We got driven home after they got back XD)with a slightly sprained ankle, and it hurts to walk ._. But it isn't as bad as it can be, which I'm grateful for XD (Funnily, last year, a similar thing happened. I was leaving their house, completely did not count the steps off their porch, so I fell head first onto the concrete ._.)

    Any other massive klutzes on EC? :grin:

    ..I managed to discloate my knee a week before my school had a major camp last year, so I'd have to say I have my klutzy moments as well.

    This one time, at girl scout camp, I fell down a hill.

    ^ On a school camp, I took a tumble, down a hill, in the pitch dark, backwards. It was a pretty good effort.
    Those who were in chat last night heard of my most recent escapade. I tried to flop down on my bed, but the room was dark and the bed wasn't where I expected it to be. Splat.

    i am fairly clumsy. I remember the most clumsiest thing i did was run into a wall at school. I was running to go round a corner of a building and the momentum took me round the corner and face first into the wall. Had cuts all over my face!!

    I never fall, but I have an unfortunate tendency to run into things.

    Ehh. I've fallen down stairs a good number of times. Luckily, I never get majorly hurt :grin:

    The gargoyle is a complete and utter klutz.

    When I was four or five, my doctor was concerned. I seemed to have a few too many bruises, and apparently wondered if my parents were perhaps abusing me. He called them in to (very subtly) discuss the problem. While doing so, I got up, wandered away, and walked straight into the wall of the doctor's office. I think that told him all he needed to know. :slight_smile:

    If you put me in an empty airplane hanger, and placed a single brick on the ground somewhere in there with me, I WILL trip over it within three minutes. Guaranteed.

    I not only occasionally knock my own glasses off my face...when it happens, I tend to frantically grasp for them, and more often than not, smack them hard enough to make them fly to the other side of the room.

    I tend to notice where fastfood restaurants keep their napkins. So I can go grab some when I squirt ketchup on the table, or spill my drink. Not if. When.

    I fall up the stairs all the time, I'm too tired to pick my feet up all the way so I manage to trip myself on the stairs.
     
  17. I'm not really a klutz... I just do stupid things. Like going down stairs too fast, tripping, and having to jump the last six in order to not fall down them *headdesk* That happened today. At gymnastics, I never fail to fail spectacularly at least once a week. Last time, it was falling off the trampoline.

    As a figure-skater and ex-cheerleader, I should be able to boast about grace and poise.

    But I can't...

    Last major klutz moment I remember... hmm...
    I was wearing socks on hard wood flooring, and someone asked to see my high kick. Well, instead of moving to the carpet, I decided to attempt on the wood. The momentum of my right leg swinging upward caused my left foot to go out from under me.

    I was on my back in seconds.

    I have many klutz moments.
    My last one?
    I fell out a window. Onto a car. >_>
    All because I was trying to get some fresh air. XD

    That is really funny. I've never actually heard of anyone falling onto a car, you have skill. Fresh air is good though!.. lol

    My last major one was when I managed to break my toe on my brothers shoe, that he wasn't even wearing...
