dumbest accident ever

[the_siobhan]

I tripped in the storage room last night. I did one of those slow-motion falls where I try to catch my balance but can't quite manage it because my feet are tangled in something. I spent what felt like minutes tipping over into a pile of boxes with my hands outstetched to try and catch myself.

And caught my full weight on a cast iron coat rack that was propped up against the boxes. Across my neck

I said words. Short ones. With lots of 'k' sounds.

Sometimes being a clutz is a real pain in the neck.

Aargh *wince* Sorry to hear it :(

I have a nice deep bruise (you can't even see it) but no permananent damage.

Fortunately I just missed my trachea.

[ladyclayton.livejournal.com]

Holy shit! I hope you're okay! O_O

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Bruised, but otherwise fine.

I hit just off-centre, so nothing important was damaged.

[amon-zero.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you're OK :) Sounds painful!

[digital-space.livejournal.com]

Fucking boxes.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure there's more in there than there was when we moved in.

Yowch.

But, hey, "said" is good! Better than the alternatives, anyway.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Very good point. :-)

Ow.

I remember one of the first times I hung out with you, you were, like, flying! Across the room, from the kitchen to the living room, without a broom.

I dunno why that came to mind just now.

If all my accidents ended up with my landing on a bed, I wouldn't have so many interesting scars.

Yikes! Fuckohdear! Glad it wasn't worse- sounds bad enough as is!

[girfan.livejournal.com]

Glad it wasn't worse-you're needed at C13!

"I said words. Short ones. With lots of 'k' sounds."

I didn't know you spoke Klingon...

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the inflection makes the meaning intergalactic.

glad you survived! hopefully this means you've met your quota for this quarter and your trip will be completely accident-free :)
