OUCH!

I fell over twice just 1 minute from my house! I feel stupid, luckily I landed on my bum, and it's the only part of me with cushioning.

So, watch out for the ICE!

And, have you fallen over lately?

only when I eat a certain chewing gum

I have done equally stupid things, like yesterday evening sleepily rubbing my eye and then going to talk to the partner looking like I have a black eye.

Eating very hot food with my fingers. Rubbing my eye because it itches.

Walking in my guitarist's basement, hitting my head on the doorway (I'm 6'4", the door-way is 6'). Then doing it again 45 seconds later.

I'm the king of this.

On New Year's Eve, I just fell over all of a sudden. I dunno, I just fell. And I have a huge two-foot bruise that's now fading into a jaundice.

My lodger fell over and hurt himself on ice yesterday, and a work colleague who insists on cycling in despite the weather (I think he thinks it's character building or something) fell off too. I've just about avoided it, since I am now getting old enough that I don't fall over, I "have a fall", and people worry about my hips.

Last winter, my dog pulled me off my feet on some ice- we were walking down a hill on an icy sidewalk when a bike went by that scared him. He tugged on the leash when I didn't expect it, and I landed on my left side- OUCH. I think landing on icy sidewalks hurts way more than landing on non-icy ones.

Over the holidays the dry cold air started getting to me and I got a nosebleed. For the next five or six days I would absentmindedly reach up and pick at the scab (yes, totally gross) and all of a sudden I'd be dripping blood everywhere all over again. The last episode occurred while Helltime was driving me back from the airport. I had to use a spare shower loofah to keep from getting it all over his car. It looked like I had beaten someone to death with it.

I like how it was a "spare" shower loofah, in his car. Like, thank goodness we didn't have to resort to using his REGULAR car shower loofah...

I came so close to falling on the ice this morning...which really scared the hell out of me because the last time I slipped and fell on ice I ended up cutting a huge hole in my chin and was (seriously) scarred for life. There's still a red mark on my chin.

I no not of this "ice". temps here lately, 70F.

Dumb things I've done. falling on my ass on a club's concrete floor. horribly bruising my butt bone. sit on hemmoroid cushion for weeks. ouch.

it seems to be the fashion these days - one friend of mine has a big scab on her knee from tripping over a rope. another is covered in gigantic bruises from repeatedly falling down drunk on new years eve.

i must fall over again soon - i'm quite clumsy but i pretty much manage to stay upright. the last time i really fell over i broke a bone in my hand and the whole hand swelled up to the size of a baseball mit, it looked like a blue bunch of bananas and it hurt like buggery.

When I was your age I was always falling over, from playing with my pals in the parks and stuff (I may be slightly underestimating your ages here).

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 10 January 2003 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I fell over at least three times, badly (ie. HEAVILY) on the 31st, judging from my bruises. My right leg is mostly purple/yellow. Also, I gave a friend a concussion. Whoops.

We were playfighting! But I'd had like 12 beers plus a lot of scavenged alcohol, so'd he, not a good idea. I'm a bit worried about this.

i took a spill when very drunk once. was running across pavement in inappropriate shoes, and slipped and fell, hard, on my shoulder and face. my face looked pretty spectacular for a time. do not run while drunk. decreased reaction time to catch yourself.
