Share with us all those not so "graceful moments"

I don't have not so graceful moments, I have not so graceful days at a time. I am the most uncoordinated person that I know. When it rains, my friend's hands automatically hover over my arm preparing to latch on at anytime; and normally its a good thing. I didn't go a year in high school without falling on the steps, which I could probably get over if it hadn't been falling up the steps...and during class change I was in color guard in high school (the people with the band during the half time show) for four years. I came out of it with 2 scars, more bruises than I can count and a pair of very bent and scratched glasses lol. My friends say its a miracle that I'm still being insured

Do any awkward moments qaulify?

Before my ex and I got together, we went out to eat with a bunch of friends. We were making jokes about the queso dip that no one was eating, so he was pretending to drink it through a straw. It was all in good fun, and then he brought up how difficult it would be too suck cheese through a straw. I said, "Suck hard!" Only after did I realize what I had said.

And then there was silence.

Followed by a lot of laughter...in my direction.

Oh! Another time I was hoarding the remote during the Superbowl, and two of my guy friends lunged at me at the same time. I jumped up from the couch and then tripped, in slow-motion, over another one of my friends who was lying on the floor. I fell into the TV and everyone clapped.

Well I'm about as clumsy as Bella so I have more moments than I can possibly remember. I'm always hitting my elbow or knee on a piece of furniture or tripping over nothing or stubbing my toes. But there was one time that thoroughly embarrassed me. It was back when I was in high school and I used to babysit for the couple that lived in the house behind mine. It was winter and the ground was very icy when I was leaving their house one night. The guy offered to walk me home but I said no. I didn't make it 5 steps down their driveway before I fell. Of course the guy was watching. He started to come out and help me but I waved him away. I managed to get back on my feet and took about 3 more steps before falling a second time. After that, he wouldn't take no for an answer. He escorted me all the way down the hill and right to the door of my house, with me hanging off his arm and my feet flailing the whole time. It was a sweet thing for him to do but I would have preferred to just slide home on my butt in private.

I have a not so graceful LIFE. If you wanted to hear about my moments I would have to give you a minute by minute description of my day.

OHMYGOD...that's halarious. sorry stupidxlamb, but IT really is. ahahaha...my mom is flashing me looks just now. *clears throat*

umm...I am about the most clusmiest person ever. I fall down at LEAST 3 times a day. on average 5 times. and on a bad day 10+ times. i counted.
I have a habit of ALWAYS falling or triping down the stairs.

just yesterday. when we were moving to the new house, we have the moving people come to pick up our stuff. right. anyways. there were two guys and both of them were so CUTE!! anyhow, i was going down the basement and then i trip and i make this LOUD noise of me falling down the stairs. one of the guys come walking by the basement door and he's like "are you OK?" and i am like "yeah yeah...thanks for asking" and then i go and hide in the bathroom and die of laughter there.

These are all hilarious, and i've got one!

So me and my brother used to work for my mom in this warehouse, hauling boxes around, with my brother's two best friends (who happened to be brothers themselves), one of which I had a crush on...like, seriously, seriously had a crush on. So, this one time we're working, and we got done, and me and The Crush were walking through the main room of the warehouse, and The Crush's brother turned out the lights, but I could see the light at the other end of the big room because the front door of the warehouse was open. So I'm kind of afraid of the dark and i started running...

And I smacked, literally head-on, into a metal pole. It was so LOUD and the The Crush started laughing and was like, " Are you okay?" And I've got tears of pain running down my face and i'm like, " Yeah, sure, I'm fine." So we find our brothers and The Crush's brother is like, " What was that wierd sound we just heard?" And The Crush is like, " Renee ran into a pole."

And then, about two weeks later, we were working again, and The Crush detailed to his sister (who is my best friend) during lunch after working exactly how that emabressing moment happened, complete with sound affects, and he was like, " Yeah, it sounded painful but it was funny."

I was so freaking emabressed!

Ok so last year I thought it would be funny to kick my friend into her locker. It would have worked except for the fact that my knock-off Uggs had no traction whatsoever. Small girl, big, heavy backpack and no traction are not a good mix. So I go to kick my friend into her locker and I fall right onto my butt in one of the busiest hallways of the school so of coarse I got laughed at brutally and my friends have never let me live it down.

Another time, just a few weeks ago, I try to get out of my chair in the computer lab but it was caught on another chair so I fell out of my chair, flat on my face. At least not many people saw the little gracefulness I posses.

Well my life is pretty much a series of embarrassing moments but I'll share this one with you:

About a year ago, I was working at McDonald's and I was taking the rubbish out to the bin. All was fine carrying the large bag, but coming back, I tripped on the step onto the patio (less than six inches), wobbled and flailed a few feet, and fell over. I hit my knee really hard, my parents had to come pick me up (my car is a stick so I couldn't drive), and take me to the hospital. I had to be on crutches for three weeks.
