stupidity brought on by technology
I have unlimited texting on the BB, and I have a Twitter account now. These two things converged into disaster last evening.
As ambug666 and I left The Melting Pot after a fabulous meal full of decadent yumminess, I decided it would be cool to send a tweet out and let people know (not that people really care about the minutiae of my life). I even came up with the coolest wording. For some reason, I thought I could do this while waling. Down steps. Made of concrete.
The first set of steps I negotiated successfully. However, as you can guess by the subject line of my post, I did not do this for the second [and FINAL! grrrr....] set of steps.
I already have atrocious balance as part of my quirky health, so when I missed the step, I went a-tumblin' down in a spectacular fashion, freaking poor ambug666 out rather severely, and cursing myself for the idiot that I knew I was. Oh, and getting some rather spectacular scrapes on both legs, which freaked ambug666 even more because of the rather lurid way they showed against my pasty-lily-white legs.
Oh yes, I have pictures. I had the Crackberry right there! :-) But until I get a reader or figure out how to transfer them through the sync function of the BB, they will stay on the phone. However, dear readers, I promise to get them posted as soon as I can. Because blood & gore is FUN!
Seriously, though, if you every get something that allows you to text, don't text and walk. At least on uneven surfaces. *g*
