opening filing cabinet drawers onto my feet.

I've ruined two or three pairs of shoes doing that.

Then there was the time I passed out in my bedroom after a much too hot shower, falling into my bookcase and causing a large wooden cassette tape case to fall on my head. My eye was the prettiest shade of purple for a week. And getting stitches in my cheek was no fun either. Of course, nobody believed me when I told them what happened, so I started making up outrageous stories. (As a funny aside, I met my husband a couple of days later. He thought I was getting beat up by an abusive boyfriend.)

IOW, I feel the pain of klutziness.

I disagree, see above. Some of us expected it, anyway.

After "Hush," sure. My guess is that during rehearsals, they saw the chemistry, and decided to play it up in the actual episode. But before "Hush" aired, would you have thought of Willow as being closeted?

JM has said he played his scenes like Spike loved Buffy in part so they'd be less likely to kill him off. AB may have done the same thing.

And I can't fight, so all I notice in SMG's "fight" scenes is the wince-worthy cutting between her and the double.

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to play rugby....

Oh, believe me, did my mom try and talk me out of it! Or, more accurately, sent my dad to talk me out of it. That was after my surgery for getting kneed in the eye which busted a hole in my eyesocket. She also blames rugby for 'making me gay.'

He thought I was getting beat up by an abusive boyfriend.

My college career counselor grabbed my arm the first time I had an appt. with her and cried, "Who. Hit. YOU?" (I always had finger marks on my upper arms)

When I played I averaged over 20 bruises at any one time. A couple of times, one would cover an entire butt cheek. And yes, I have pictures. And no, I'm not anemic/diabetic/whatever. It's some random hereditary thing.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Me too.

Well the bruising part.

We seem to blame Norplant for the transient gay thing.

Luckily DH is nearly always out of town or there are many witnesses when I do some spectacularly stupid that results in my looking like someone took a 2 by 4 to me. And my family knows I am a total klutz and bruise easily.

/ TMI, I forget that I am not in Bitches sometimes.

Hmm. Can't remember...must rewatch.

No. I thought Willow was straighty mcstraight. They really had a hard sell for me, because I always saw her as crushing on almost every boy on the show. In the end, Amber's Tara won me over, because who wouldn't love Tara? Such a sweetie.

No. She was pretty into Oz.And yeah, love Tara. I went to college with many Taras...you can't swing a cat in Women's Studies without hitting one. But they really don't want you to do that.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Oh, it gets way funnier. She also blames our move to NC (b/c there are no dykes in PA, obviously) and claimes that I 'chose' to be gay b/c I like being the political underdog and, I wish this weren't a direct quote, "you couldn't turn yourself black."

It took me a while to get over the sting, but now I just think it's funny and a little sad. My brother was getting mad at me for how much I mock our parents. He can get back to me if our mom ever tells him "looking at your childhood pictures makes me sick to my stomach."

Don't get me wrong, I love my parents very much and they love me. But I think I get to do a little gentle mocking.

See, I am affected by my own experiences, b/c I first kissed a boy when I was two, and had two crushes that lasted SIX YEARS each and one that lasted FIVE years (all on boys) and then I kissed a woman and didn't even consider dating guys for about four years, and now I'm back to bi.

Sometimes that shit just takes you by surprise.
