A Series of Unfortunate Events
First, I slammed the door on my finger. Then, I tripped on one of the huge slabs of marble near the garden, and ended up sprawled in the most humiliating way possible on the footbridge. Finally, I lathered gel on my face all because I’m an arrogant multi-tasker who thought she could scroll through a long list of keywords with her right hand, slap on gel with her left hand, and carry a conversation with two people at the same time. Now, my sinuses are acting up. I might have to beg off the socials later because I’m dead certain by 5pm, my nose will have turned into the size and color of a beautifully ripe tomato. Oh yes, people will show up in costumes but I wouldn’t even have to worry what to wear; my face will look costumey enough.
In case this isn’t clear to you just yet, there are two things that will always be true about me:
1. I talk and think at the speed of light.
2. I’m only graceful under very controlled circumstances, much like certain types of amoeba.
I think I’ll spend the rest of the day in bed so I don’t endanger my life and limbs more than I already have.
Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."
