Last night I went to see Polysics supported by Fight Like Apes and The Ghost Frequency and it was superduperduper fun. Hooray for happy joy.

Today I went to the market, had a conversation with my mum about various things she feels guilty about, and hurt myself on a twig. Which led me to consider my heroic clumsiness, and to wonder just how heroic it is. Therefore, a poll:

this person is in oxford and I believe it might be in a pub.

sound fun?

[andabusers.livejournal.com]

I can't read that, but eh why not. Tonight? Quel pub?

Also, I got my elbows stuck in a chair in the headteacher's office in first school.

No idea on pub yet. Will give him a phone and stuff. I will give you a toot when I know more.

the ceiling?!

[andabusers.livejournal.com]

Well, aside from the low ceiling above my bed which has met my sleepy head many a time, I have also actively jumped directly into the ceiling. I also once did it with my cousin's baby. But he seems fine. :P :>

i did that in a salt mine. i was trying to lick the ceiling and also bit my tongue

also - when play-fighting with my boyfriend he flipped round too hard and i flew into the bedside table, smacked off that into the wall, back onto the table which then exploded - and then landed on the floor about 4 inches away from a pint glass that'd been on the table. if i'd have been closer i'd have still been picking glass from my ass i think.

Best one I can think of is when a computer power supply went pop. I checked it wasn't plugged in (no kettle lead attached) then opened it up and saw the fuse blown so reached in and tried to pull it out to change it. Unfortunately I'd run out of kettle leads a couple of weeks ago and permanently wired the thing in, so while I did look for attached kettle leads I completely missed the great bloody mains cable trailing from it which was still plugged in of course...

Result, a nice electrocution while my hand was trapped in the thing. Oops. Ambulance ride time :D


Or there's the time when I was a kid I stood on a bit of wood with a rusty great nail sticking out of it. First I knew of it was when I thought my foot felt sticky and looked down to see a nail poking out the bottom of my foot - oops ;) The tetanus jab hurt like hell on that. They gave it me in my other leg and after a week I was hobbling round on the one I put a nail through because the tetanus jab hurt much more ;)

Oh, and I've hit myself in the head quite hard with a 16oz ball pein hammer. Then again in the same way a couple of minutes later


OOOOh yeah and I rode a bike at about 30mph round a corner and straight into a great big massive iron gate while wearing about 15 stone worth of tinned food in a huge rucksack. While sober. Hit it head first and bounced off a good 10 foot or so according to the security guy that saw me (cardiff uni halls of residence. first time i'd ever seen the gates shut)

heh there's so many.. :)

i am almost disappointed that i couldn't put a check next to milk.

...unless discovering i'd developed lactose intolerance directly after consuming a fairly large amount counts?

[andabusers.livejournal.com]

Aye, that I have. The money came out of my account on the 13th.

I guess one of my tales of stupidity would be swimming head first at full speed with fins into the wall of a swimming pool as my eyes were on the puck and not where I was going. On its own it's not that stupid but when you consider that I've done it at least four times . . .

I'm now very tempted to see if I can make spaghetti catch fire. I guess it's a good thing that my aunt has already 'part-set' the alarm system.

Thanks for posting this poll. You've really cheered me up :)
