"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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

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

I have a friend who's naturally graceful

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.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

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.

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I don't buy pants with cuffs anymore, after the unfortunate incident in which I broke my toe.

Congratulations to Raquel and her DH! Welcome to the world Mallory!

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

I'm extremely graceful as long as I'm not standing on two feet. Give me, a cane, or a staff, and have nice grace. If you take it away, prepare to start giggling at my pain.

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

So far I've managed to keep this year's New Year's resolution, which was to not fall on the ice and break a limb.

But I still think I need to learn how to fall properly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But I still think I need to learn how to fall properly.

Probably so. But you want to practice on mats first, before you move up to ice.
