Before I start, I would like to mention that I have managed to make it to 7 posts without failing to use the word "physics" at least once in any of them. I'm rather proud of myself.
In any case, today was an amusing day for whatever hell-demon is overseeing my life. Normally, my day follows a more or less set course: Breakfast at the cafe in the physics tower - class - lunch at the HUB - walk home. For lunch I get a slice of pizza and a drink and find a window seat from which to observe cars as they drove by and be paranoid that whenever someone around me laughs it's because of something I did. I'm weird that way.
Anyway, today was different in that somebody came up to the table I was at and asked if they could sit there too. I was like "Oh yeah! Sure!" and tidied up the various papers and things that were strewn all about so that she could sit. I didn't really know what to do at this point, so I pretended I was just on my way out anyway and, panicked, tripped over the chair leg and knocked my pizza off of the table trying to grab something. Luckily the pizza landed such that it cushioned my face before I broke it on the ground.
I'm pretty sure that at that point the people really were laughing at me.
The girl who sat at my table let out a little scream and started shouting how sorry she was while I'm thinking "Like it's your fault that I have a cursed motor cortex..." and trying not to spontaneously combust from the ferocity of the blush that had struck my face.
That was a fun one.

I wanted to say "OH Mo", but I realized that I am reading William's blog. You ARE your mother's child. ")
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I gave you my Something-Weird-Always-Happens-To-Me gene. How many times have I tripped on a chair leg and fallen face first to the floor? Yes. I rest my case.
ReplyDeleteSorry! (I like to think you got all my good stuff, but obviously some bad shit snuck through the gene barrier. I will forever feel guilty. BAD MOM!!)
And William....maybe she didn't WANT you to get up and leave! Did you ever think of that?
Honestly...do I have to teach you EVERYTHING?!
