I am packing up my apartment to move in a week, and I just used my teeth to rip off a piece of packing tape. In a bizarre twist of fate, my front tooth (a crown, I lost the real tooth 12 years ago in a skiing accident involving my ski pole and my face) shattered just as the tape broke. And it occurs to me, that this is typical of my life. I have a scar on my forehead from running into a concrete culvert when I was seven, a scar on the back of my head from turning my bicycle in front of a car when I was six, and a slight dent in my orbital bone from opening a car door into my face when I was fifteen. And the list just goes on and on.
I guess I'll be having soup for dinner.
So, anyone else prone to moments of great clumsiness/carelessness with what seem to be exaggerated results?

I have an inner ear problem, so for the first few years of my life I couldn't balance at all, so much so that my mum thought I was retarded some how (proper use of word, not Lindsey Lohan use, by the way), many scars from falling into tables etc. Then I learned to compensate. But have also fallen out of a tree and landed akimbo on a fence due to clumsiness, suffer from flailing hands and tend to break other objects rather than myself, which is handy. But have been hit a few times, growing up in a shitty area, being the tall one in a group of yoofs, always got hit first, so nose doesn't really work too well. Oh and I feel onto a curb breaking my arm when running for a bus.

But I don't think that it's a person being unlucky, it's just damned hard to co-ordinate oneself in this world...
