Omens: earth is tipping over on me
17 July 2007, 4:46 pm. View comments. Filed under Personal, School.
Statement: My physical ability to balance myself is currently in negative proportion to my age.
In other words: The number of times I have been stumbling or tripping over air has been increasing dramatically.
Story #1: During my two years working at a homeware store, I would stumble several times every workday that my workmates would be constantly watching my steps.
Note: I was wearing plain flat-heel shoes.
Story #2: I went out with my friends one day during this recent holiday and they lost their count over how many times I was stumbling that day—again, in flat-heels.
Note: when you put a balance-challenged human being on ice, you see more than just "stumbles". Be ready to crack-up at some exciting full-body collapses.
Conclusion: In flat-heels, one foot would constantly "interfere" with the other foot so I walk better on high-heels.
Unfortunately, I had to alter that conclusion. Yesterday, I slipped on this stone staircase in school. As I slipped in the middle of the staircase, I landed on my lower legs (not knee) on the sharp edge of a step so I got myself two big bruises. 
Is that a one-time thing? No. Because I just did it again today. 
Start of new semesters seem to be unlucky for me. I remember on the first day of last semester, I had a water-leak in my bag in the first class that almost murdered my cellphone. (It survived, but still suffering hard from some weird side-effects.) Later that day, the bus broke down when I was about a 40-minute walk away from home. But I was too tired to get up and walk. The start of this semester was characterised by the two "trips" I had in these two days and I lost my cellphone in the last class today too. Fortunately, someone picked it up and handed it in to the school. I was saved.
As a pessimist in the aspect of superstitions. I define these "signs" as omens. I recently had a dream... The setting was one of those dark, narrow European streets in the 19th-century times. (As a believer of reincarnation, I almost wanted to call it my past-life.) I was happily walking hand-in-hand with a lover until the doctor diagnosed some illness I had which meant I would not live past the age of 18. (As in, I would die sometime while I was still 18.) I mourn for that sad girl with a sad fate who might've been the 19th-century me.
Let's see if I will live to see the light of my 19th birthday. Omens, omens, omens... *screams*

It works!
Balance challenged human. Hmm...can I borrow that to, Rilla? That sounds prefect for me right now. You can walk better in heels? I would think it would be harder? Hmm...interesting.
Oh, you report errors to me, I report to you. You tell me your opinions, I tell you mine. Hee hee I am funny like that.
As for your omen, I think you may have just hit a patch of bad luck. You will get your good omens back. ;)
Of course you will live beyond 19, you were joking, I hope. If you weren't you need to be. Remember just because something happened in your past life doesn't mean it will come into play in your present life. -
I still think Cheryl is hawt, bruised legs or not
-
Well, maybe you're rushing your steps? Slow and steady wins the race
Or try wearing shoes...
And reincarnation may be true, but it isn't to say that your past life will reflect your current one. Every now and then I think that I was a female in my previous life, but you know, the fact that I don't like guys in that way has kept me thinking otherwise haha.
Oh, and if it's any consolation, when I go ice skating, there's more ice on my butt than the blades of my skates -
Honestly, I've been through worse. This whole week I've injured the same ankle five times. At least bruises are hidable. When you sprain your ankle, you hobble a bit and people sneer at your face. But obviously I'm accident-prone so it's no biggie to me

I'm so sorry you fell down the stairs
But remember don't do it a 3e time
I'm not to sure about reincarnation, it would be something calm to know that your "spirit" will be reincaranted when you die.
anyways have a great week -
Heh. I have two left feet as well.
That omen seemed scary. I hope you don't die when you're 18.. That would be creepy. if my dreams came true ,then I may be chased by the pedofile janitor from my former middleschool
-
Whoa, creepy. Get well soon from your trips and bruises!
I somewhat believei n reincarnation, but not that strongly. Nor do I really believe in superstition and things like that. Don't die =O I wanna meet you one day in real life!
Mmm, maybe your shoes just don't have enough uh ... what's the word ... uh ... traction? -
That sounds really creepy. Hope u get well soon!
BTW I really <3 your site. When are you going to put the resources section online? -
@Liz: Thanks! It'll come on slowly part by part with designs first. It'll be slow because I decided to restart the whole designs section and delete all my old collection. But I'm working on the first of that section already!

Scary! Sheesh, its 1:36 A.M. here and now I'm scared! Thanks a lot.
As for your dream, it might be you having to face a fear. The fact that it was in 19th century Europe could mean that you are feeling "out of it". The fact that you were walking hand-in-hand with your lover could sybolize that your life is going fine. You being diagnosed with a serious illness could be that something unexpected is going to happen that is going to change your life. But that's just one opinion.

You sound a bit like me, except I'm usually tripping over something or bumping into something. Tripping over thin air is a little strange though. Omens huh? That's an interesting way of looking at it.
Your dream sounds interesting. The theory of past lives is an interesting one. Most Christians don't believe in reincarnation. I'm not sure where I stand on that topic. I feel for that 18 year old girl too, but back then people didn't live for very long. -
When I was younger I used to trip all the time. It's getting better now though I always manage to stumble on the last step of the stairs (which I could avoid if I went down slowly, not skipping!)
-
Ignore all omens unless they help you! That is the way to do things. Then, you'll be optimistic more of the time. As for tripping, you'll just have to hope that you grow out of it. Maybe the earth is just being mean at the moment.

That's really creepy. I remember in 8th grade I kept falling on my knees because my new boots shoe laces kept getting caught in the opposite shoes' metal lace holder.
But yes, your stories and occurrences are extremely scary.
But I'm a believer in reincarnation myself. I'd take desperate measures if I were you!
