In Which I Am Slightly Humiliated

Yesterday I fell. I was climbing around on some rocks as I am wont to do and I ran out of handholds as I am not wont to do (and did not want to do) and I fell, which I never ever do. It was downright embarrassing.

As soon as I had nowhere to put my hand I thought, well, no getting around it, so I pushed a little clear of the rock face and landed pretty well. Mostly on my pride, unfortunately, but my heels also took a good beating. Now, today, they're all swollen and I am playing it up like no tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm going to see "Insomnia" at the Parkway. Pizza, beer, and Robin Williams beating his wife to death. Last night I saw his uncensored standup routine on HBO and he kept saying "bitches" instead of "women." It's a surreal thing to hear from him, once you've seen "Jumanji."

When asked yesterday what is my heart's desire I chewed thoughtfully for awhile and then said "I'd like my friends to come home."

You hear that?

OMG!!! I fell on Friday walking across the street. With armloads of groceries. Fell so hard that I couldn't think straight. I was even mean to Ian after. Like he pushed me or something! So weird. Then when I got home, I sat on the edge of my bed and cried like someone had just died. Such a weird reaction. My body still kind of hurts today, but my pride was definitely hurt way worse.

Now you just hold yr G.D. horses! Gene's en route, and i'm there in 6 weeks, and Allen is ...standing underneath the same great sky.

I actually ran into a car the other day (while dodging an Effing s.u.v.), and so fell from my bike. Flailed and hollered like a man jumping off of a train. Then I got up and chased the driver up the street, as if it were his fault I can't steer. He was laughing at me so I thought about killing his children. Then I realized my butt hurt, and that that was funny.

"as if it were his fault i COULDN'T steer"

or construct sentences, or stomach imperfection.
