OW OW OW OW OW OUCH.

I need to not think anymore. It's dangerous. Last night I was thinking to myself how nice it is that I don't end to fall down all the time and skin my hands amd knees the was I did when I was a little kid. So on my way out to my car this morning I promptly fell flat on my face on the asphalt parking lot.

It doesn't seem to be as bad as the last time I fell flat on my face out there, last December; I was able to get up quickly and there aren't really massive quantities of blood pouring out. My knees have definitely been skinned but my palms are only barely scratched this time.

But there wasn't any apparent reason why I should have fallen down. The pavement wasn't wet this time around. I'm just clumsy. I'm sick of being clumsy. I want to be reincarnated as a four-legged animal with a far more well-balanced distribution of weight and a thick coat of fur to protect me against all abrasions.

The blood hasn't dried yet. I washed and disinfected it all as best I could but my knees are still stinging.

You've done it now. You will be a gazelle in your next life. That is, if gazelles still exist, for we may destroy their environment before you actually die and are reincarnated. If that happens, I'm afraid the best you'll be able to hope for is a slug, which isn't nearly as cute, but is very, very stable and rarely falls down.

As a slug I can be a hermaphrodite too!

[voxsjournal.livejournal.com]

Hee! Are slugs hermaphrodites? I don't think I knew that.

By the way, I never got back to you about your response regarding When I was Five I Killed Myself. I don't know where I first heard of it, but it's an oddly powerful little book, isn't it? I wrote in that style for weeks after reading it.

And you'd get those cute little wriggly eye-stalks too! I'd recommend requesting assignment to a sea slug body, though... They're purty (http://www.ianskipworth.com/suig/nudis.html)

And they're underwater, so they never fall down!

But aren't there other, less slimy hermaphroditic animals? Like earthworms?

You could be a hyena- female hyenas have penis-like clitorises and are matriarchs. Or you could be one of those weird lizards that can be male or female according to whim and produce offspring without need for heterosexual sex. That would be kinda cool, maybe.

Or a sponge. They're hermaphroditic, plus they never fall because they don't even move at all.

Hi, I'm Sam, I notied you added me to your friends list so I added you to mine. Nice to meet you!

Ow. Put some vitamin e oil on those knees -- take it from someone who is still nursing a huge scabby wound from my one-person bike crash.

I could break my leg getting out of a chair, I swear. You are not alone.

I've never heard of Vitamin E oil, and I couldn't find any at the grocery store today. Is it normall sold in grocery stores?

Hey, you're doing it again! Dooming yourself with another thought...by those guidelines, you'll probably get yourself reincarnated as a lemming.

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

PLEASE not a lemming. I'd rather be a slug like everyone else seems to have decided I'm going to be.

Take care of yourself, dear!

p.s. I said "DEAR", not "DEER"!! (You only wish.) :p
