Scott, you sound like you were a klutzy kid! lol Ok...you win. I can't beat that. Jo, you just sound like a crazy woman! Sheesh, what mean thing did you say to that poor girl with the leg braces?? heehe You evil thing! I didn't become evil until I was in my late 20s so I guess I have some catching up to do.

Uba- you are now responsible for ruining my laptop...as I just squirted the water out of my mouth laughing when I saw your posts...it was just a little something I thought I would sneak into the story to see if anyone was really reading it..I am crying with laughter right now!!!

When I was around ten or eleven one of my new friends got a BMX bike, I begged to try it and and eventually he let me...I thought to myself "I'm gonna do a cool skid in front of the CEMENT wall in his carport" so I sped down the driveway (was downhill) raced at the CEMENT (and stucco-looking) wall and then tried to apply the PEDAL brakes....unfortunately, that bike had only HANDLEBAR brakes!!! So I slammed full speed into that wall... I carved up my knuckles really nice, tasty!!

Another time I was riding my ten speed down a hill ( I was 16 or so) wearing SANDALS (big mistake!!) when my foot slipped off the pedal and went into the spokes of the front tire!!! The joint of my big toe rammed up against the FORKS and that's what STOPPED ME!!! my bike flipped, I landed and was in sooooooo much pain I couldn't make a sound!!! Luckily, some joggers saw it happen and helped me out, and a guy in a furniture truck drove me home...I still have scars from both those 'adventures'

I cringe now when I see a kid wearing sandals whilst riding a bike!!!!!

Here is a funny one. I was a senior in high school. I was, as usual, sans socks in the winter. I don't know why, but we never wore socks in the winter (doesn't help that mom didn't buy us any, either..he he he). So, I was going out the door, rushing, to catch the 1/4 mile ride to school (hey, I had an image to maintain). I jumped down the front steps of our house, hit a patch of ice, and SLID about 12 feet, with my one foot underneath me, until I hit the wall of the carport. Did it hurt? Not really, by my estimation, all the nerve cells had been flat burned off by the contstant contact with the CEMENT. So, on to school I went, we parked, and I walked in. The vice principal stopped me and asked me what had happened...exactly why did I have blood running up my leg? I had on tan cords..and they 'wicked' the blood from my foot substantially up the pant leg of my pants! It was kind of humorous, in reflection...and yes, it did finally start to hurt..and scabbed forever..but, the site of probably four inches of blood up my pant leg must have been pretty scary for a VP to see first thing in the am.

Haha once I was walking down to cross a street and the sidewalk was brick, and it was raining...I was wearing dress shoes that were completely smooth on the bottom....I was wearing BRAND NEW white nylons! The sidewalk sloped down towards the crosswalk....my shoes slipped and I went flying landing on one knee and skidding several feet on it, Ouch!! I got up and I had torn the nylons and tore the crap out of my knee...blood running down my leg. I was miles from home and had to go and catch the bus like that!!! Can you believe the bus driver didn't even help me? they carry first aid kits here...GRRR
I went home and tried to clean up the mess....tried to pull the nylons off and they were stuck to the wound....after much swearing i managed to get the nylons off and bandage my stinking leg. But I was most angry that my BRAND NEW totally run-free nylons were trashed! it was almost like the universe was mocking me

Hmm this could be amusing to everyone because I seem to be either naturally klutzy or absent minded take your pick

Let's see I remember when I was younger I once rode my bike down a hill in to a tree...all my dad did was laugh at me. I got hit in the face numerous times by baseballs and floor hockey pucks and footballs...now that I think about it most of those were when I was playing games with my dad's scouts and he was the one who always hit or throw the object at my head...do you think he's out to get me? Oh and then there's the time that my friends dog bite me in the...well let's just say I couldn't sit down for a week or two with out the aid of a pillow.

In JR. High I got pushed down the stairs going for lunch and badly sprained my ankle, it still gives me the odd pain if I'm not wearing the right shoe..but then again I did sprain it again a couple of other times playing basketball and stuff. High I can't really think of anything happen other then the appendics almost bursting...that was a nice scar.

And just recently I gave myself a fat lip by running in to a door at work and bouncing off it...there was a nose print and everything. Then Friday I banged in to the recieving desk at work and gave myself a bruse which is now black.

Now that I think about it I haven't really had any major accidents just a lot of funny little minor damage ones that are mostly caused by my own absent mindedness.

Oh, oh I just remembered on other klutxy moment. I was walking home from the video store and decided that walking was taking to long so I decided to run...well I started to run a little to fast and I tripped over my own feet and fell on the rough pavement of the road. Had a nasty case of road rash and coulndn't walk properly for a week or so. Acutally if you look closely you can still see some road rash on my leg, or at least some dead skin from it.

I pulled a good one at our haunted house this year...I am a back guide, which means I follow the groups around to be sure no one gets lost and also tun a lot of the lights in the rooms. During one room, I flipped onthe light, then ran around the corner to tell some of the workers to be quiet, they were ruining our seance. I flipped my flashlight off to sneak back into the other room (which was still lighted) and ran straight into the wall, nose first. I actually had a bruise!! I'm still not sure how the nose hit first, you would think other things would....
