Oops, l Did It Again...!

Oops, l Did It Again...!

Since today is the day after I have sustained one of the most un athletic injuries of my life I feel that I should poke fun at myself and all my friends who have had equally ungraceful experiences. I know, its unfortunate that we can't be all like Serena Williams, who started playing professional tennis at the age of 14, won 23 grand slam tournaments. Also, did I mention that Williams won the Australian open when she was pregnant? Yeah, I for one do not have those genes. I can't even fall gracefully. Here are ten of the most un athletic injuries brought to you from myself, my friends, and some random individuals I have asked to share.

1. I fell backwards off my raised dorm bed while reading The 6th Extinction. My head got slammed into the ground and I could not see much for about 5 minutes- Me

2. I was dancing around the Christmas tree and it was definitely on Christmas Eve because I don't listen to Christmas music before that. Anyways, I then step on a plug and the plug went into my foot. Yeah. - Anon

3. I wasn't even on my phone, I just walked straight into a glass door and I got a bloody nose from it. - Anon

4. I was wearing really really long yoga pants and I got some kix in a bowl and life was really good, but then I tripped and everything spilled onto the carpet.- Colleen

5. I sprained my ankle on a tree root last year and had a cankle for a month. It was right before beach season, ugh.- Anon

6. I once ran straight into a tree when I was going for a frisbee. The whole left side of my face was a raspberry. Otherwise I am generally athletic. - Anthony

7. I had a bee sting me in the eye when it got stuck underneath a motorcycle helmet.- Anthony

8. I jammed my pinky toe on a wall and then it actually broke. I was just walking and I guess I was too close to the corner!- Katie

9. I was in yoga class and I was trying to go from candlestick (salamba sarvangasana) to plow pose (halasana), but I transitioned a little too quickly and I kneed myself in the face a little. - Me

10. The first time I ever went skiing I did not know how to get off the lift so I jumped off the lift before it reached the end. I fell like 6 feet and didn't die because I was thankfully at Mount Peter and not Zermatt in the Swiss Alps. - Me

One thing that many creators know is that fun to have characters and different universes to work with but what's the point if you have nothing to do with them? Many people turn to roleplay as a fun way to use characters, whether they're original or from a fandom. It'd a fun escape for many people but what happens when you run out of ideas to do? It's a terrible spot to be in. So here are a few different role play plot ideas.

Marching Through March

I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
