You know, sometimes I'm rather certain that there were certain things that I just wasn't meant to do.

For instance, my ability to constantly fall out of and/or break any chair I put near my computer as well as my habit of standing when I eat suggests to me that chairs are not something I'm meant to use.

My ability to walk across a gravel road while barefoot as well as my fondness for toe socks suggests that I should not wear shoes.

The fact that hammering makes me wince and loud noises terrify me is a sure sign that I'd be a lousy carpenter or construction worker.

This distinct inability to find one flipping line of code says to me my webpages will have more coding in them then necessary. Mind, considering the way I write in other computer languages and the way I drive... short cuts aren't my style.


...Yes. Right. Back to being useless. Note to self: do all that important stuff you were going to do today tomorrow morning.

.. you think you have troubles with chairs? There is a very.. big reason for my username. *snorts*

I fell off a bus seat, one time. :D

I got out of a chair and sprained my ankle a few years back. :D

I am physically incapable of serious injury. Jumping off the top of a car and landing on my kneecaps on pavement barely even bruised me. Yet, I get small cuts, bruises and scars (read: burns) all the time. I've never broken a bone and the only thing I've ever sprained was my knee. Once. And I climbed a tree after doing it. >.>

Interesting observation. Now that you mention it, though, it makes a lot of sense.

Yay uselessness. ¬.¬

The gods are sending me a message. Yet I am bound by society's restraints not to listen to them. Oh well. If I am smoten (smited? smitten? smoted? ...something) tomorrow, at least I can blame civilization.

*ponders* Maybe it's 'smote'?

The irony here is that I'm addicted to home improvement shows such as Trading Spaces, so get to experience a lot of those types of noises a lot through the TV. They don't bother me much, that way. Just when they're loud and right next to me. x.x;;

*wiggles her toes at nutmeg* Pish~ Who needs shoes/socks when you can just go around barefoot? :-D My grandpa winces every single time he comes over because the only time I don shoes is when I have to go out, like to the store or whatever~ Like you, I'm able to walk on a gravel road barefoot. >D

...what about walking straight into walls? >.>;;

True, but I'm required to wear them when I go out or am at camp (serious poison ivy issues, can't even wear sandals, has to be shoes)

I don't know. I have a tendency to clip the edge of walls when I walk past them. (Like in entries to rooms and such.) Maybe it means you need to work a bit more on that hand-eye coordination stuff?
