OH THE DANGER. OH THE THRILLS. PEEGEE IN MY WARDROBE, BITING MY SHORTS.

I just stepped on something on my floor. I looked down, picked it up and realised it was a pin. It's okay, it wasn't the right way up to cause lethal damage to my foot, but that's not the point.
How close do you come day to day with danger and/or accidents? Have you ever been into outerspace? Have you ever fell from outspace?
I've never been in a road accident. Have you? Could you be the lucky winner of tonight's prize; TRACKSUIT BOTTOMS!?
I sometimes get close to danger, sometimes I don't. It all depends on the luck of the drawer. :greenie:

I was hit once backing out of parking space after getting lunch. The bitch in the Mercedes was being a bitch and talking on her phone. :mad2:

The hood on my mom's old Mustang flew up on us while we were on the freeway about 10 years ago, too. I nearly shat a brick that day.

I nearly dropped a bowling ball on my foot the other day at the bowling alley, too.

I once had a running-into-the-wall contest with someone. I'm not really sure what the exact point was. I think we wanted to see who could have a better impact. No one who knows me should be surprised by this. In fact, my friend's husband ALSO had a running-into-the-wall contest once, and he AND his opponent both broke their wrists, so I am both not alone in participating in these sort of contests AND I do it better because I come out unscathed.

Also, I have been in three car accidents, two as passengers, one as a driver. None of them were severe. The first one as a passenger, I was rear-ended by someone on a cellphone; the second one as a passenger, we hit a deer really hard and I screamed like a maniac; the third one as a driver, I hydroplaned after making a turn too fast and spun around into a ditch. Car's status: unscathed.

GUYS. I AM REALLY, REALLY LUCKY. This is cause to celebrate.

You're ridiculous, Clograb. I challenge you to a running-into-the-wall contest.

Not only will I win, but my displays of running-into-the-wall will contain such grace and talent that it will inspire painters, music artists and writers to chronicle the event.

Also, the computer I'm on right now (at work) is really crappy, so your avatar is very, very slow, and it's just... disturbing.

That's just because you're pretty. Now my displays of running-into-the-wall will give birth to a new sport, a sport of manliness and badassery. I shall be the first gold medalist.

Awesome. /smug

Hrm.... I've had a lot of near death experiences.

:save: When I was 7 I fell off the back of a horse, hit my head, fainted, and woke up in the hospital.

:save: When I was in the 6th grade my bus driver had a heart attack while driving so the bus crashed.

:save: I spun out and crossed traffic and hit a reflector pole as a passenger with my brother.

:save: Some lady backed up into us once too when I was a passenger.

:save: I rolled a 3/4 ton truck when I was 17.

:save: I totaled my VW bug when I hit a deer a few months ago.

:save: I was at a grocery store when a tornado took out a trailer park a quarter a mile away.

:save: Another Tornado destroyed the barn right across the road.

:save: Last Oct I had to go to the ER cause I had an oxygen level of 42 (normal is 95-100)

:save: I also can't seem to walk correctly because i'm always walking into crap.

:save: I've been to outerspace. Twice.

Freya, why do you even leave your house anymore?

I've been in one car accident - I had only had my license for about two weeks and was driving at night. Apparently, construction was going on in that part of town, but I had no idea, because someone ass had come along and removed all of the caution tape and cones. So I was driving along and all of a sudden my car goes into a ditch.

When I was a wee lass, I had put one of those little toddler chairs up on top of a fiver drawer dresser that was next to my bunk bed so I could be "queen of the room". My sister got jealous and yanked the leg of the chair, causing me to fall off the dresser and land my head into another corner of furniture. Stitches on the eyebrow. My eyebrow doesn't really grow there anymore.

My friend stepped on my finger with an ice skate when I was in the sixth grade.

In the fourth grade, my family and I went to my grandmother's for Christmas. I brushed past her glass coffee table to give her a hug on the couch and sat down to find my leg gushing blood. Gushing. Apparently, I had snagged it on a chipped corner of the table and didn't even feel it until I saw it. Oh, but that's not the worst part. The worst part was my grandmother jumping up to grab a container full of cayanne pepper to dump on the open wound to "stop the bleeding". Dumped the entire thing on my leg, and then the doctor had to clean it all out and separately stitch up my muscle, then my skin. I'm still prone to running into the corners of tables, though god knows why.

I broke my arm when I was sixteen working at Sonic. I was carrying shakes in both of my hands and thought a I was a little cutie patootie in my brand new pink coat I had bought that day. My feet came out from underneath me when I hit an ice patch and I landed on my ass, breaking my arm.

Those are all the major accidents I can think of. I've never been to space. I'm probably more likely to go to the bottom of the ocean than to go to space, if I have a choice.

Because society looks down upon me being a hermit. :( Oh and I have to have jobs and stuff. ELSE I WOULDN'T LEAVE!

OH I just remembered that apparently (I don't remember it of course) when I was a toddler I spilled a gallon of gasoline all over the garage and the water heater with the pilot light was on. I almost exploded my house! Hehe I'm like a walking accident.

Your anatomy is strange.

I went camping this weekend and I think I spent most of the time drunk and on my ass. I don't think there was any real danger, but both my sides are littered with scrapes, and my butt hurts something fierce.

I've also been in a couple road accidents as a passenger. No crashes while driving yet though.

EDIT: reading that back I think I may actually have been channeling some previous night's drunkeness when i wrote that. CLARIFICATION; my butt hurts cause I fell on it a lot |:<

Yeah, last night I went out but didn't get INCREDIBLY drunk, just pretty drunk, but drunk enough so that I don't remember getting home at the end of the night and making 4 crumpets with peanut butter on them and leaving 2 on the kitchen table :confused:
But anyway, I ALWAYS wake up aching in the morning, my back and my thighs kill. I don't even think I did any running last night. I don't remember falling over either.
I could of been abducted by ALIENS!?!?!? :whimper:
But then at least, I've been into space.

I have been in a few car accidents and yes I go to outerspace everyday :bigsmile:

I experienced near-death, I think, about twice in my life. The first was about 15 years ago (wow, that long??) when I was in a car accident. I spent a night in the hospital. It wasn't as bad as my brother, who was in a coma for a couple weeks. heh. The second time was 5 years ago, if I hadn't decided to see a doctor then, I might've died. I spent a week in the hospital and found out that I have kidney failure. It wasn't pleasant.

I'm on a Wii. :greenie:

My best accident story involves, of course, foa the drunkard. For my 22nd birthday friends took me to a really big pub-style bar and proceeded to tell everyone they could that it was my birthday. It was a fairly busy night, being a Saturday, and a huuuuuge street party had just ended. People were actually lining up to buy me drinks. I don't remember how many shots I had, but I know I killed 5 or 6 bottled beers, an Irish Car Bomb, a Gorilla Fart, a Four Horseman and a couple of SoCo and Colas. We left about 2:30 and I remember not really knowing where I was going. The next thing I know I couldn't move forward anymore. The reason being is the fact I had just fallen on my face and couldn't very well dig through concrete and asphalt to keep walking. The next thing I remember is one of the guys I was with just dying with laughter going "Get her hahahahahahahaha get her up hahahahahahahahahahaha."

I tried to roll over a couple of times but couldn't figure out how. Then I was standing up again and had a man on each side, arms linked in mine. "What happened?" I asked. "Just don't think about it. You'll feel it tomorrow, honey," is what my best friend's brother told me.

Luckily enough I wasn't hung over OR scraped up.

I cannot properly relay to you how I personally would have been unable to cope with this event.

It was the simplest way I could put it.

I was doing urban exploration. Unfinished houses - terrible (non-existent) security.

Anyway running away from the place, I jumped right onto a nail sticking out of the ground. Luckily my shoe came loose and only the shoe got impaled, thus avoiding certain death.

asl op pika

coffee tastes good

I've had two somewhat near death experiences.
The first one was when I was in middle school I believe, and I was organizing my dresser. On top of this dresser sat my huge ass television, so me being the stupid person I am, had too many of the drawers open and the dresser started to tip forward,with the tv going straight for my face.
Luckily I was able to get up and push the whole thing back in time before I died :)

The other story was when I was driving home from work really late one night when I worked at the movie theater and it was around midnight. As I was turning at this 4-way light, this car comes out of nowhere and t-bones my right side,spinning me right into the middle of the street. Luckily it was late or I probably would've been hit again by an oncoming car. To make matters worse, the car that hit me was a cop car. The rest of the story involves the back of a squad car and 3 traffic tickets,only one of which was valid.

You should have seen the cabin crew...Before anyone could disembark I was escorted out by the paramedics and check over.

Cause at least I acknowledged that it happened that's what!


Oh I forgot to mention that I was nearly hit by a car... :S
