Yeah, my bike and I have had some pretty good rows with that Gravity guy. I come out worse, but still feeling like I had the upper hand.

I think the best gravity EVER got me was the time I fell down the stairs at a college halloween party....

Jamaica Plains, Ma, Halloween of 1987. 19 years old at a Halloween party thrown by my guy friends from Berkely School of Music in Boston. I dressed as Satanspawn in a strapless black gown....Later that night I went to go downstairs in my stockinged feet. My foot hit that first wooden riser and went straight out from underneath me, my ass connected hard with edge of a stair and I went barrelling down the flight, unfortunately when I hit the landing it didn't stop me as I had hoped, instead I hit the wall, flipped over and went down the last few stairs to the right face first.....needless to say, everyone came running only to find me lying on my face in the hallway with my dress in a roll around my waist.... :oops:
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

Ooooo. Thats a GOOD one!

Let's see, the worst time gravity ever hit me....

Ahh. It was on my eighth birthday, and I was upstairs waiting for my family and friends to finish whatever surpirse they had in store for me. When they called my name, I was so hyped up that I ran down the stairs, took a hard left and jumped down the last four steps. I landed on with my leg underneath me, and broke my foot.

My Dad thought it was just sprained, so I didnt go to the hospital untill the next day. Weak. :D :-x

:::nervous regarding today's ceremony:::

I slept very little last night, so my singing voice is shot this morning. But, I rehearsed as much as I can, and my part in the service only lasts about five minutes, so I will get through this. And then the celebrating can begin. :)

Bored - Revision is terrible.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Full of the heavens and time.

Hobbling around on a sprained foot.

I should watch where I step.

Ouch!

My right ankle twists out from under me on occasion for no reason, after I sprained it very badly when I was 12. Try and stay off it and keep it elevated. You really don't want to stretch the tendons, trust me.

Your going to need it!

GOOD LUCK! :P


I'm feeling pretty good. The rain is back, which is a nice break from all the sun we've been having here in Oly. Tommarrow I have work, I think I'm just training and helping unload trucks. Tue-Thurs are the VIP events, and I'll be working then too. Fri is opening day. Which is also the Opening for Pirates, and ALSO Memorial Weekend, the busiest days for theatres.

It should be insane.

Send calming thoughts! :D

I'm doing fine. There's just a lot of weird, confusing, and strange stuff going on in life. I'm doing well though, so there's nothing I can complain about.

This has just been one heck of an odd year...

:?

Heh...my brain needs a vacation.-jay

I just found out that a friend of mine, one of the undergraduate students in our lab, who graduated three months ago and then went on trip around the world, died last week from a climbing accident... I'm still in the stage of having trouble accepting it.

Hell, sorry to hear that man. (What sort of climbing? (If you don't mind me asking...) )

Rock climbing, but - as far as I know - not free climbing or mountain climbing, just climbing rock walls. I have no idea yet what exactly he was climbing when the accident happened, though.
