Puerto Rico... land of rice and beans.
Last night at little over 9 PM when I came out of the Tae Kwon Do practice we were all going out to the parking lot (you have to go down a staircase and then cross a sidewalk) where my dad was waiting for me, and while we were there I noticed Estefania. She is another black belt of the class. I was thinking something like "Boy, is she pretty", and got severely distracted with that to the point I was no longer looking on front of me.

Well, what brought me back to planet earth was that all of the sudden, I hit my face smack dab into a steel column that is sitting on the sidewalk after the staircase.

The biggest thing was that the person who asked me if I was looking at something else was Estefania herself. I said "nothing", but everyone had figured it out immediately and I was the laughing stock of the night. The joke was that for this to happen Estefania has to be on fire. I started to laugh with them after trying to deny it a second or two.

I shall confess that I wonder wether this is something funny or pathetic.
Although it makes me laugh a bit. I thought this only happened in comic strips.

It must be funny. I think you will laugh at it for years. A long time ago when I was engaged to my first husband we were having a disagreement and I felt really angry and stormed out of the ten pin bowling alley right into the glass doors which I thought were open. I had an enormous lump on my forehead and I felt so stupid. But have laughed at it since many a time.

Take if from someone who still jokes around with a friend about an episode like yours. It's something that will embarass you for a little while but then you will see nothing but humor out of it!!

I am notoriously clumsy. You have to learn to laugh about it. When it happens, it's embarrassing, but really, it's not a big deal! Hang in there, your friends will have something else to laugh about next week!

Funny, but certainly embarrassing!

A long time ago, when I was in high school, I was on a trip to Europe. We were up in the Alps walking to some scenic overlook. I was so involved in talking to this cute guy, that I didn't notice the cow poop in my path. Of course I stepped in it.
Embarrassing then, but funny now.

I think that is so cute. Maybe if you had told the girl you were so struck by her beauty that you didnt see where you were going she might have been impressed.

That's how I met my boyfriend..I was sitting out on the porch and he was walking by with his dog. He was busy making eyes at me, tripped over his dog and fell flat on his butt.


Not at all pathetic or embarrassing as far as I'm concerned

ahhh...poor Vic! If she knew why you ran into it, I think she would have been flattered. That's cute...not pathetic!
