a very pristine tumblr.

So I was walking on the sidewalk today, and, out of NOWHERE, I like fell on my face.  And it was suuuuuper embarrassing, like literally three cars pulled over to see if I was injured and then this (exceedingly attractive) dude rushed over and was like “Oh my GOD what HAPPENED do you need help let me grab your hand to help you up” and his friend was like “you should sue the city for tripping you, you would make so much money!” And I was like “No, I would be too embarrassed to admit it to anyone.”  And the Hot Dude was like “No way!  I mean, it’s not like 10 people haven’t already seen you fall!  Though I guess it is pretty embarrassing that you just fell over.  At first my friend thought you were just, like, stretching in a strange way, but then I was like, no, you’re not stretching!” *chuckle chuckle.*  And I was like “…”  And then I had to wait forEVER with Hot Dude and his friend for the light to change.  And they kept making small talk with me regarding the weather.  And then we had to awkwardly walk like a whole block together in the same direction.  It was hideously awkward.  Also you will note I was in like the most uncool outfit I own, like my silly exercise shorts, my tennis shoes, and a super tight non-matching tee shirt, and carrying my tap shoes and a YA dystopian fantasy novel.

And now I have two scrapped knees, a swollen ankle, and SHAME.

So I am watching BUFFY THE VAMPIRE slayer (for the first time), and it is fantastic, and there is a new-ish character that I think may be sort of okay and decent and I was liking him just fine.  And then I just found out this episode that his first name is FINN and I was like… well shit.  Because how can I like someone named FINN?!?! The only other Finn in my life is so terrible! (if I can say that Finn Hudson is “in my life.”)

1. when you can’t fall asleep, what do you think about?

Usually when I can’t fall asleep it is because I am thinking too much.  Possibly about having my car stolen or burned or losing my new expensive phone.  Moral of the story here being that I can’t have nice things, they only make me worry. 

1. what did you eat at your last meal and on a scale of 1 to 10, how delicious was it?

Hmmm.  I sort of grazed for lunch today.  I think it was an apple with cheese and some olives and some chocolate and carrots. It was fine but nothing special so, 3?

1. what is your shoe size, and do you wish it were different?

8.  This is a fine shoe size but I wish my feet were narrower.

1. who have you most recently been told that you look like?

Andie MacDowell in Groundhog Day.  People who know me- THOUGHTS?

1. what are three adjectives you’d use to describe your family?

Interested, talkative, nervous.  Those words also sort of describe me… COINCINDENCE?

1. what’s a particularly embarrassing tag on your tumblr?

My entire tumblr is embarrassing.  And the fact that it took me months to even learn how to tag anything is also sort of embarrassing.

1. what’s one fictional thing you wish were real?

MAGIC.  Duh.  Particularly telekinesis and Abhorsen bells.  Though, I guess I don’t really wish that the dead could rise up and attack people from beyond the grave, which does sort of eliminate the necessity for the Abhorsen bells. 

1. what is your favorite item of clothing that you own?

Probably the one bra I have that actually fits me.  Time to go bra shopping…

1. what is the most recent compliment you’ve received?

I was hanging out with my boss’s four year old on Tuesday at this party thing and she was playing with my hair and I was like “Oh, do you like my new haircut?”  And she was like “NO.  NOT AT ALL.  I’m just playing with your hair because I like YOU.”  Which I thought was just fine as compliments go, especially since I think she wouldn’t say anything just to spare my feelings!

EDITED:  Delladilly just told me I have excellent cleavage.  10 points to me!!!

1. what’s one thing in your room that you’d definitely have to explain if someone saw it?

The children’s doctor kit that my friends got me for my birthday.  It is a lovely joke/gift and meant to help me in my future endeavors as a medical professional. But admittedly it is a bit strange to have a plastic stethoscope and thermometer and things in a bright pink carrying case in one’s bedroom.
