2002-10-17 : Wake up in the morning and Fall on your ass!!
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND FALL ON YOUR ASS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Picture this: There is a girl who is a little more sleepy than usual on a Thursday morning, but she's feeling determined. She's walking to work with confidence. She's even bothered to put makeup on. She looks good. She has a hard, brisk walking style. She's wearing her favorite ankle length paisley skirt and her moss-green suede go-go boots. She's oblivious to the sounds of traffic and construction around her because Sonic Youth is blaring in her headphones. She's laughing at the silliness of the "Cicconne Youth" song off of "Sister" and she isn't paying any attention to her feet, when SUDDENLY she misteps off a curb, doesn't catch herself and falls, sprawled out into the middle of an intersection. The fall was so sudden that she hasn't realized at how and why she happens to be sitting int he middle of a downtown Seattle street. People are stopping to ask her if she's alright but she hasn't bothered to take her headphones off so she cannot hear what they are saying..she can just read their lips. Finally she mutters "Oh yea..thanks..I'm fine, really." and trys to hobble across the rest of the intersection. DAMN her ankle hurts. She sits on a ledge and calms herself down and then is able to walk to work. She has a skinned knee which she gently washes with a little warm, soapy water. She inspects her ankle..it doesn't seem to be swelling (YET!)..anyways..Nice start to my fucking morning, huh? Now I see why men were safe, comfortable, flat shoes with NO HEELS!! But damn, these boots look GOOD!! ha ha
