Okay, I had such a bad epic fail tonight that it's worthy of being posted on dA. Like, seriously, I have to tell you guys about this crap.

So, usually at the end of a rehearsal in band camp, the entire band runs a few laps around the track so that we can get fit and get our endurance up. (You'd be surprised how much energy marching band saps from you, especially the 7 - 11 minute shows! It's harder than it looks!) Today, we didn't run because we ran out of time, and since all that energy hadn't been released, it was all pent up in my body. It was driving me crazy, so after a small dinner, I went into my backyard (which is really large BTW) to run a few laps around the fence.

Well, earlier this month, we had moved some lawn furniture into our backyard. This furniture isn't bright and cushioned as you might be envisioning -- it's black, metal, and has this fancy chain-link design. We haven't really found a place for it yet, so we just left it along the wall of our house. Imagine this -- it's a new moon night, my eyes haven't fully adjusted yet, and all these pitch black chairs are standing against the shadowed wall of my house. Needless to say, I didn't see them until a millisecond before I ran STRAIGHT into one of the chairs.

Now, there wasn't any hesitation, any trying to dart the other way or anything. I ran full-force into one of these metal chairs, just like how you would run into an invisible wall. I tumbled over that sucker and both of us flailed onto the ground. The way I landed wasn't very bad for my upper body, it hurt a little bit then, and now it's completely fine. But my left leg got jacked up. One of the legs of the chair really banged it up hard, and the bottom of a leg pierced a spot on the inside of my thigh. And not to mention, suddenly vaulting around like that made my stomach feel a little sick, since I had just eaten and everything. So I pretty much crawled out of my tangle, got on my knees, planted my face into the ground and moaned for about 30 seconds, or whenever it was that my leg stopped hurting enough for me to stand.

So I limped up the stairs to my room, took a shower, and once I got out took a good look at my leg in the mirror. Ugh, it's already swelling and bruising, and it still huuuuurts @_@ I'm just glad to be sitting right now, it still hurts but a lot less when I'm sitting. Needless to say, I'm going to run in lit areas now (or during the full moon).

I swear, if this hinders my marching ability tomorrow, I will not be a happy band geek....-_-". But I suppose it's my own karma.

UGH it hurts. But at the same time I can't stop laughing at my fail XDDD.

Dragon-Face, out.

[EDIT 8/18/2009]: LOL, I know, you guys must be ready to rip my head off for all of the journal updates clogging your inbox right now. But I have stuff to journal about, so shush.

Before I get into important stuff, I want to give an update on my epic fail XD. This morning, my leg feels a lot better. But what I find really weird is that if I bounce, it hurts. Like, walking up and down stairs. I suppose it's because doing that makes me bruised area shake, but geez it hurts. -_- Friggen' lawn chair.... But I can survive on this.

Anyway, I know that I've been...lazy, to say the least. And I really, really apologize. I just want to make sure that you guys know that I haven't forgotten about you! Phantomkels, I promise you that I've gotten on your commission and that I remember all the Soras on sticks you demanded wanted me to do. Dragonfoxy and Kitsunerose, I remember your weirdo freakish double-pairing request. Kaedehazuki, I'll one day finish that Hetalia thing and draw your character on a stick! Honey-sempai, I most DEFINITELY remember your commission. And xAshleyxElricx, your request is sitting half-finished on my bed right now.

And for all of you (weirdo) Dark Ed fangirls, yes, I have taken a break from "The Dark." I'm sorry, but the story needs some serious redesigning. I have point A, point C and point D, but no point B. I know I've taken forever already on the story, but unless you want it to be good when I finish it, I suggest you be patient.

I promise that I haven't forgotten your gifts, commissions, and requests. I will get them done. I have a couple of other things in the way right now, but they will be done. So be patient with me!

I might make a list on my journal to help me remember and let others see how they're progressing, but at the same time I'm not sure if I want to do things that way. If you have a thought on the matter, describe it to me in a comment.

Well, for now I'm going to work on Ashley's request. Be back in a bit. <3
