This Just Hasn't Been My Day

Though my mood is far from dismal and my choices have been fairly decent, I'm a bit discomfited to announce that today really hasn't been my day.

I don't believe in luck. I have a little bit of stock in fate and destiny and all that fun stuff, but luck is something I was pretty sure didn't exist. Today's events have disproved that theory, at least for bad luck, anyway.

Apart from tripping into the same wall three times, repeatedly knocking my elbow into Kailey's desk during English, and just now cracking my skull on the ceiling of Maddy's van, the majority of the day was wonderful. I got the chance to see my friends again after disappearing for so many days, and I was pleased to discover that tomorrow's physics exam won't be as awful as I'd originally expected. Other things, too, made me smile throughout the day--but only when I wasn't falling down.

Seriously, this off-balance crap is ridiculous. No one else I know slips and crashes as much as I do, including most book characters. For those who have read Twilight, compare my grace to that of Bella Swan. Literally. And don't leave out any of the small details, like stumbling over door stoppers or sliding across even the tiniest patch of ice...

Most kids outgrow this. I guess that's not my style. Because today was definitely not my day.
