Graceful or Clumsy

Do you float on air when you walk? Is every movement poised and artistic?

Or...

Do you clomp around like a clydesdale perpetually picking yourself up off the ground only to step ankle deep into puddles?

clydsdales are actually pretty graceful.

I get a new bruise everyday, I am so clumsy.

Well, one of my nicknames in HS was 'spaz'. Does that answer the question?

You just created this post to rehash the escalator story, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?

I'm constantly being told to *think* before I walk that I am too clumsy.

muhahahahaha!!

depends on who's looking??

Um, can I say something here? The heel in the sewer gate is NOT clumsy. It's just an unfortunate series of events that involves mal-designed footwear, falling off the curb and the inability to see past my flailing limbs...

I concur... my lack of grace has nothing to do with thiseither, I was attempting to avoid getting hit by a car so I stepped back and was lucky enough not to get hit by said car. It wasn't clumsiness it was self-preservation.

I stepped into a hole and broke my foot

I pulled a muscle putting on socks

I sprained my wrist in no-contact karate


Would you call that clumsy???

so the Sewer grate saved your life???

I am somewhere in between. Some days I have it all together and every movement is full of grace and elegance. Other days it is best I stay in bed.

As far as shoes in sewer grates, I had a friend do this and I think it has nothing to do with grace and all to do with common sense. You are walking around NYC, wear more practica shoes. You are strolling through a garden, wear kitten heels in any color that suits your fancy.

Juliet, I beg to differ! Strolling through a garden is not easy to do with kitten heels...especially if clumps of dirt keep getting trapped around that cunning little heel, causing the heel to become slightly uneven and your 'stroll' to become a staggering tumble of embarrassment.

Another time, I was walking across a ball field in flip-flops and there was a huge muddy spot that I didn't notice until my feet started making that suction-cup noise. I tried to hurry out of it, but my left flip-flop got sucked into the mud, never to be seen again. So if anyone happens to find a baby-blue flip-flop- in size 6 at Eisenhower Park sticking up out of a field... that's mine.
