Ew.

I had to delete the last song-lyric post because I think I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw it today, or as my younger, more tactless younger sister puts it " GAAGGG"...

Anyway, I sprained my ankle...I can't even remember the last time I sprained something. But for the last 2 days I've been hobbling around like a cripple. My ankle looks like the trunk of a baobab tree and it hurts a lot. The worst part is how it happened. I fell off my own set. My own set, which I should be able to navigate blindfolded with my feet tied together. Anyway, it was really my fault for forgetting the 'no-slipper' policy for everyone working onstage. So my slippers caused me some 'slipp-age' and I fell off a high step, and landed with a resounding *crack* in my left ankle.

In response to my hobbling around, I've have a chance to be the unwilling recipient of sympathy. Sympathy in general is grotesque curiousity in disguise.. . All they really want to know is how it happened...

"WAH! WHAT HAPPENNNN???"

"oh, I sprai-"

"HOW????"

I hate it because I hate revealing that my injury was the result of my stupidity, plus, what about more comforting words like "I hope it doesn't hurt too much.." or "At least now you can park in the handicap parking spot and get 50% discount off tickets..." Anyway, I've learnt my lesson and at least now I won't forget to change into shoes when I have to work onstage. Even the very next day, when I had to finish dressing the set :
