My Attraction to Objects...

I have a problem. It happens to be one that I don't think I can fix. But at least I can be comic relief. Let me tell you about it. Gabrielle/LS, was staying over at a friends last night. Today we had to go and get her back (wasn't my decision) I went along because her friend had just got a new dog that dad said was really cute. For some reason, Gabrielle and her friends kept saying it reminded them of a giraffe with a long neck, small body, and long legs. Fortunately for the dog, her friends happened to have miss described him. He's actually very fuzzy, well-tempered, calm, and he's very evenly proportioned. His name is Sam and he's such a doll! Anyway, I was holding his leash when his other little owners went for a run. Sam happened to want to follow. So I followed Sam and the littlest owner went too. Too avoid colision with this new hazard, I stepped to the side.
Onto uneven ground.
Which led to my fliip-flops becoming tangled.
And me having a wonderful meeting with my good and all to familair friend, the concrete. I even met another friend while down there, the limestone path that happens to also be uneven. If only I could make friends as easily as I do with unmovable objects. Great concern was shown, and in the next few minutes we left. On the ride my dad and I had a conversation at my magnetism to objects. The following quotes are here for your benefit and some are missing because I forgot them. They also aren't word for word.
  1. DAD: "Maybe it's a good thing you just stay in your room and read books."
  2. DAD: "Can't go running in flip-flops." ME: "but I wasn't." DAD: "Anything over a walk might as well be running to you."
  3. DAD: "Can't go running with little dogs Deborah."

Gee dad, I love the advice! Actually, I've figured out some advice for myself during future collisions. Advice one: if one must injure yourself during your fall, make sure you injure yourself where you can show people. It does no good to have an injury without sympathy. Advice two: don't injure yurself while wearing flip-flops. It makes you take into consideration wearing tennies instead of those comfortable and breathable shoes. Advice three: make sure you have a good reason for falling. Just tripping only causes people to laugh. At least if you have to fall people will laugh or have an inside chuckle if it happens to look funny. Know Lydia's little blog description? how it goes slip on a banana peel and the whole worlds at your feet? I have a some corrections to make. One, the worlds only at your feet if you happen to cause them to fall on the floor with laughter. Advice one: be funny enough for that to happen. Advice two: when falling, fall on something cushiony. Otherwise don't fall at all. I happen to yet learn that lesson. And I'm still feeling it. Ouch.
