dark door danger

I love my house. It's about 80 years old, so despite it's quirks and creaks and extreme lack of closet space, it's got a lot of character. But one thing I've never liked are the doors.

Heh. Well, that's a lot better than my "walked into a door" story from when I was a teenager. I didn't even have darkness as an excuse. I was trying to open a door while staring all starry-eyed at my girlfriend. Turned to look ahead again just in time to hit myself in the nose with it. Very embarassing.

I make sure to know the layout of my apartment really well and to move carefully while feeling ahead, and I've managed to never run into anything in the dark when getting up in the middle of the night. But then I'll stub my toe in broad fucking daylight on the edge of the bed. *sigh*)

And, of course, you can never tell anybody who asks how you got a bruise that you walked into a door, because they'll think it's a euphemism.

I could so do that.
