1 year agoTake your pick from a curated selection:
- As a kid: broke my arm doing a cartwheel (was trying to impress an older, cooler cousin)
- As a teen: fell in the pool while scooping leaves out of it with one of those long nets, scraping all the skin off one of my thighs on the pool edge as I fell, then proceeded to scrape the skin off the other shin plus tore out a big toenail in my frantic effort to get out of the pool
- Also as a teen: hit by a car & badly concussed because I did not look before disembarking a tram (this was also the driver’s fault for not stopping tho! but I still should have looked, oops)
- This year: fell down the stairs of my loft apartment because I forgot steps were a thing I needed to step on, busting open my elbow and getting a rude shock to the spine in the process (am fine now but it was hard to walk for a few weeks, oops)
The cover art for the Ghoulies movies freaked me out, like I would make a big deal about checking the toilet for those little goblins & needing the main light on in the bathroom so I could be sure they were not hiding in the toilet shadows. I was fine with a lot of other spooky stuff (and love horror now) but those goofy af toilet goblins were a major concern for years.
