Why is it that whenever you are trying to impress someone something goes horribly wrong....
I am going out on my first dat since my break up tomorrow night so as you can imagine I am trying to make a decent impression...so what do I go and do today...I fall up some stair and take most of the skin off my arm in the process....
Argh....Why am I so accident prone...
Anyone else don'e something really stupid like this?

how do you fall up a stair? anyway, it'll make a good story when you can't think of anything to say (which hopefully won't be necessary), and might ease the tension (which there hopefully won't be any of). i hate dates.

Thats a great talking point for a first date... who's had the worst accidents. its' funny and most most people have had silly accidents... I should know, I've had many myself, which can be told in the most hilerous ways, to my humilation, but thats whats funny!!!
I remember on a first date, she had been told the head of a Guinness taste nice, my first pint, she goes 'does that taste nice?' and dips her finger in it. She later told me she was mortified at what she had done and thought she'd cocked the date up before it had even started... I was quite amused by it and didn't consider it to be bad in any shape or form.
Another first date, I wakled into the pub, went to the bar, pint, had almost finished it, thought she wasn't going to show, and she had been round the other side all the time thinking I was going to show
I think I didn't want to look like I was on a first date or something stupid.Anyway, best of luck.. but I'm sure you don't need it!!!!!
I used to be indecisive, but I'm not so sure now.....

it's incredibly easy to fall up a stair, easier even than falling down, believe me, i've practised.

its kind of a rule that "If anything can go wrong, it will"
life seems to be like that
We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

Peeps always say taost always lands butter side down...this is not always the case tho, actually:
The probability of the toast landing butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet!
