My latest adventure in stupidity and DDR

Last week on stupid things I did I poured boiling water on my foot. In today's episode, I get hit by a car.
So yesterday, as I was riding my bike home after going home for lunch and my free period, I was kind of zoning out, and of nowhere there's a car right in front of me pulling out of a driveway. I don't remember if it was moving, and I can't stop at this point, and there was a split second in midair where I thought "Oh my gosh. I just got hit by a car," followed shortly by "Hmm... I seem to be screaming." I hit the ground on my hands and knees (yes, I was wearing a helmet). I picked myself up carefully, shaking like it was Friday night. The driver got out of his car and helped me put the chain back on my bike, and I proceeded to school, choking on sobs. After all, I had an in-class essay in History. I'd like to add at this point that while there was a car involved, I could just as easily hit any stationary object with similar effects. I locked up my bike, went inside, took off my coat and went to the bathroom to try and get some of the mud off my knees, the adrenaline still moshing in my system. Back in class, I started to calm down enough to feel my knee ache a bit. Rolling up my pants I saw a bit of a scrape, so I went to the teacher and asked to go the nurse's office because I was "kind of hit by a car". That's when people started freaking out. He sent me to the nurse's office, all right, with an escort in case I passed out or something. Twenty minutes later, I was back at home with a leaky baggie of ice on my knee playing Psychonauts. As I calmed down, the pain got worse, and, on the school nurse's recomendation, Mom took me to the doctor to get it checked out. Since I had was having a hard time walking, I got a to ride in a wheelchair while I sat around the waiting room. Fortunately, it's just "soft tissue trauma", which is a pity-eliciting way of saying "the queen mother of all bruises".

In less traumatic news, my mom just went out and bought DDR for our 360. While I was trying to illustrate the concept of an upbeat, I had a brilliant idea, in kind of a super dorky musician kind of way- Conduct Conduct Revolution for the Wii! I crack myself up.

The Two Stupidest Things I've Done Recently

1. So I have this habit of sitting on my vanity counter and soaking my feet in the sink. The hot water feels really nice, and I will often sit there for hours reading a book and perpetually draining and refilling the sink as the water cools. So the other day, while I was thus engaged, it occurred to me that the water might be just a little bit hotter. Now, if this were a movie, you would cut to a shot of the new electric kettle sitting right next to me. So, yes. I poured boiling water, 100 degrees C, directly on my foot, leaving an angry red burn. Not my most intelligent moment.
2. I was making my bed with fresh sheets for the first time in two or three months when it occurred to me that I hadn't posted to this blog for a while. So naturally, I decided to regale you all with tales of my own idiocy.
   

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
