Swaying when I stand up is normal. Falling over my own feet is normal. Knocking over the edge of the rolled taco tray so that the mini plastic pot of red hot sauce makes a beeline for my t-shirt (with the addition of some stray splashes dotting my favorite trousers, followed by a burning sensation as the spiciness sneaks its way through them to my skin underneath) is normal. Somehow losing my grip on toast i've just spread jam onto and watching it, in jeeringly slow motion, fall to the floor face down with a soft slam - these are things I must accept.
I write notes to myself on my hands routinely with sharpie. And so seeing myself in the mirror, long after i've been reading with my hands supporting my head, I hardly wince at the recognition that my face has met with the same fate as my hand when I attacked it with sharpie earlier. I wipe it. Most of it remains. I give up.

With dawning realization, I figure out that none of this matters. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince will be released in exactly one week, and I'm in the middle of re-reading every one of the books that made me a geek. That fix it ticket? Later. That address change? Later. Linner-time? Well... now.
But everything else: later, and take me to Hogwarts via glorious paper and ink as my clumsiness fades away.

Hahaha, you're seriously adorable.
I walk into my walls ALL THE TIME. They're always in the same place, they don't move, but somehow I manage to collide into them at least once a day.
I am so excited for that movie, eek!
really dig the hair.
I'm not so much clumsy as I am senile. For instance, one time I put my shoes in the fridge and didn't realize it for a few hours.
You should listen to the HP audio books, it's how I've been reading them for years. So awesome.
Also, I've chosen you to write my biography. It's called BAZLU: The Unfortunate Side Effects To Being Brilliant

As the clumsiest person I have ever met, I feel much more comforted reading this. Thank you.
