The Clumsy Person's Guide (Fionnuala)

Hello there fellow blog readers! Today I am going talk about the fantabulous and rewarding life of being clumsy! Now I'm talking clumsy clumsy. As soon as I had thought about the idea of writing a survival guide to the #clumsylife I fell. It was one of those wipeouts that require a high level of clumsiness. I was walking and somehow I got my toe stuck in my pants. I mean it was so painful to! I am the kind of person who breaks/sprains/pulls/tears something ever year. (I'm doing good this year and yes I do know it's only February) I was just walking along, and the next thing I knew I was on the ground, because my toe was in my pants!
Anywhoooo, I'm going to try and give you fellow clumsians a basic guide. :)
**PREACH ^^^
Disclaimer: I am not a professional! If anything bad happens after using my tips, I am sincerely and truly sorry, but you can't blame me...

Tip #1: If you fall in front of a crowd just laugh (unless you have actually done damage to yourself for that I recommend to seek professional help) it just makes people think you totally meant to fall or your a cool person who can take a joke.

Tip #2: Avoid carrying delicate things or sharp things. This is very important! If you are carrying something sharp and you are clumsy it does not mesh well together!

Tip #3: Get a protective case for your phone! I know, I know it's super cool to have no case or one of those slim ones. It just doesn't work for people like us unless you have a baby harness to put your phone in. (I have personal experience with no case dropping)

Tip #4: Don't wear pants that are too long for you! I'm saying this because of my experience earlier today! Enough said.

Tip #5: Avoid sharp corners, they hurt!

Tip #6: DON'T. WALK. AROUND. WITHOUT. A. HELMET. (Just kidding!) But I do suggest having a first aid kit handy!

Tip #7: When you eat be really careful. I spill something on my clothes hmmm let's see et every meal. Sometimes, if I eat really slowly and watch for drippings I do survive.

Tip #8: Be proud of your bumps/bruises/scrapes/scabs/etc. I swear I have never gone a day since I was seven without some curse on my legs.

Tip #9: When/if you have a cast, don't let everyone sign it unless that's all you want to see for the next month or more. Black scribbles on your used to be colorful cast.

Tip #10: Be proud! You are a klutz. Flaunt it girlfriend (if you're a guy flaunt it dude!).

If you want, I have found a link with a list of common struggles for clumsy people. :)

Ok if you're reading this The Sparkly Dolphins and I would REALLLLY appreciate if you guys would comment some post ideas! :)
