Are you a klutz?
I am a class A klutz. Like just now...in my hurry to get back into the studio to do a between-song break, I walked right into the door frame. OW! x(

1. No, I severed my tendon because I'm very well coordinated.
Yeah, that is it. x(

2. I was washing my chef's knife and managed to cut the BACK of my hand.
So, uh, yeah, I'm klutzy sometimes.

darling, when I saw you. You could have been wearing rollerskates!

5. Yes
At work I once opened a door and bashed it straight into my forehead! x(

And I lost count of the number of times I cut myself with the psycho potato peeler in the kitchen where I help out sometimes.

7. I'm a terrible klutz.
Once a month, especially. I trip over things, run into other things, get hung up on doorknobs and have things stick to me.

Once, I tripped over a kleenex. :blush:

8. I am. I don't even need to be in a hurry to walk into door frames and
stump my toes on things that seem to be in the far corner of the room. Until I realize I misjudged the position of an object whilst hopping around on one foot holding the other, it honestly looked like the object was much farther away. Also, I tend to hit my hands a lot on the stand that holds the microwave when I am cooking. It always hurts and my klutzy ass always does it again.

10. I dropped my keys in the dumpster last night
Luckily the dumpster was empty and nasty (/sarcasm), so I had to find a long stick (coincidentally I had just thrown one out with my keys) so I grabbed it and cussed the key ring on to the end of it.

I kept thinking "OoooH! I have that great hook. Too bad it's in the apartment"

11. I was worse when I was younger...
Now that I'm not so young...and I see the consequences of my actions...

Well, let's just say...I'm a LOT more careful these days...

The old ounce of prevention, you know?

I want so much to LIVE a very long time....so I'm being a lot more careful...

:scared:

12. No, I'm reasonably graceful most of the time.
But if it makes you feel any better, I suck at bowling and I never learned to swim.

13. Yes, but not as much as I was before.
My WATP workouts have helped me develop better coordination.

23. To some extent
Luckily, I am much less so when I was a child. My body awareness got much better as I began doing active play ground activities like double dutch jump roping and kickball. It got even better when I became a runner and got better at team sports like basketball in high school.
I still occaisionally whack my limbs or run into something when I am not paying attention, but no where near a soften as when I was a small child. It is probably a good thing as I am getting older and soon will be more vunerable to breaking bones.

25. Yes on a ladder.
That leaves out roofing for a career change.

28. It's genetic.
I know this because my daughter inherited it from me.
