The Blonde Excuse: How I Broke My Tailbone

How I Broke My Tailbone

So, while I wait for Google Video to be the slowest video hosting site EVER with my concert videos, I thought I'd share my tailbone story.

It all started with Brent being an idiot and me doing my "storming out" thing. Storming out and slamming doors are two of my specialties. Anyway, to make it more dramatic, I obviously couldn't stop and take the time to change from slippers to actual shoes, so I powerwalked off in a huff (you can't run when you're storming out, that's just lame). I made it outside and got distracted in my storming by seeing Brent angrily walking to class without even chasing after me! Boys don't know ANYTHING. Anyway, I was wearing one of my famous mini-skirts (yes Cathy, like the one I wore to my Harvard interview...) and was passing a group of guys while looking over my shoulder at Brent and managed to step on a storm drain covered in slippery leaves... in my slippers. Yes, I slipped in my slippers on slippery leaves, my legs went straight up in the air and I landed directly on my tailbone with my skirt now up around my chest. And that, vast readership, is how I broke my tailbone.

If only Brent had chased after you--let that be a lesson to you, Brent!

I hope you're feeling better. Tailbone breaks are a lot more painful than people think!

I was going to send you one of those ring pillows for you to sit on but Mom told me you would never use it.

Haha Mom's right... she tried to get me one already but I was too embarrassed. Thanks though!
