Also, the short tutu makes for some interesting visual geometry in choreography. It creates a strong horizontal axis as it emphasizes the angle of both the upper body and the legs. It also makes a circle if the dancer leans over.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
On the flip side of all this, I have a friend who's naturally graceful. He rarely stumbles or bumps into things. One time he was standing on my porch steps smoking and shifted his weight wrong, causing him to slip off the step he was on. He just sort of let himself go and surfed down the stairs still holding the cigarette to his lips.

Thanks, ita. Chikat just answered the question in Bitches. Lee says thank you as well.

That's as annoying (well, I'm less gracious than I am graceful, for sure) as a friend of mine with lightning reflexes. He's the sort that can knock a coffee cup off a counter and catch it. In fact, I suspect he may knock things over just for the flair of the save.
It works. He's hot.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My pants get caught on my office door with some frequency. It's not just men's pants. For example, I'm wearing these today: [link]

Cool pants. And modern in a ... retro way.

I think I'm a mix of both clumsy and graceful. One, when whacking the crap out of each other with shinai, MM whack my right hand, which was holding the bamboo sword, causing me to drop it to the ground.
Or, it would have hit the ground, had I not executed a perfect hackey-sack side kick to the butt of the falling sword, popping it back up and into the air, where I caught it with my other hand.
I could have possibly used the opportunity MM's gaping astonishment to beat the ever lovin' snot out of him, had I not been stunned into gaping astonishment myself.
