I was planning on writing more, but right now I'm having trouble walking around and all I can really think about is laying down. Long story short… I was looking for an iron in my apartment to get the wrinkles out of the new shirts I bought this afternoon. Having no luck I decided to check the top cabinets over my closet. I can't actually see all the way into the cabinets since they are too high up, so i do what any normal person would do and jump to try and get a better view. Things would have worked out better if I had looked before my not so proverbial leap. Had I taken a second to look up I would have undoubtedly noticed that I was standing directly beneath the entryway to the hallway the closet is in. The entryway has a ceiling clearance of about 6 feet and 6 inches. Enough room to walk through, sure, but a very bad place for someone who is 6'2″ to take a full powered vertical jump. My neck compacted a bit, my teeth found new territory on the inside of my tongue, and then my body not so gracefully hit the floor. Suprise at the impact to my head delayed the pain of it all for a few seconds. Rest assured, I feel it now. (Note to all readers, attempts to stop a bleeding tongue with crumpled pieces of toilet paper generally seem to fail.) Anyway, the spine part of my neck hurts so I'm going to go lay down. I can't believe how stupid i can be when not under constant supervision. You can identify people like me because we apparantly don't have wrinkle-free shirts. And I think it turns out that I don't even own an iron.
